1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites send to the user’s device (computer, tablet, smartphone) while browsing. They are stored locally and sent back to the site on later visits, allowing the site to recognise the browser and remember certain information.
Cookies can be first-party (set directly by this site) or third-party (set by external domains, such as service providers). By duration they are divided into session cookies (deleted when the browser is closed) and persistent cookies (they stay on the device for a defined period).
[Art 122 – Legislative Decree 196/2003]
2. Cookies used on this site
2.1 Technical cookies — strictly necessary
These cookies are necessary for the site to work properly. They do not collect personal information that can be used for marketing purposes and do not require the user’s consent (art. 122, paragraph 1, Legislative Decree 196/2003). Before you make a choice in the banner, the site sets no other cookie.

thriveo_cookie_test | thriveo.eu | Checks that the browser accepts cookies: it is written, read and deleted immediately | Deleted immediately |
thriveo_prefs | thriveo.eu | Session of the mailing list preferences area. It is created only after you use the one-time link received by email. It cannot be read by scripts on the page | Session: expires after 30 minutes of inactivity and in any case after 2 hours |

[Art 122 paragraph 1 – Legislative Decree 196/2003]
2.2 Analytics cookies — Google Analytics 4
These cookies collect aggregated information about the use of the site (pages visited, session duration, geographic origin at area level, etc.) and are activated only if you consent to the statistics category in the banner.
Until you consent, the Google Analytics code is not loaded and the site tells Google, through Google Consent Mode v2, that all permissions (analytics and advertising) are denied. The data is used exclusively in statistical form and does not allow individual users to be identified.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Ireland Ltd. | Distinguishes individual users (unique user ID) | 2 years |
_ga_KF0HP6XTJX | Google Ireland Ltd. | Maintains the session state for the specific GA4 property | 2 years |

[Art 6 par. 1 letter a), Art 7, Art 44, Art 45 and Art 46 – Regulation (EU) 2016/679; Art 122 paragraph 1 – Legislative Decree 196/2003]
2.3 Marketing cookies and third-party content
This site does not use marketing or profiling cookies. The banner nevertheless blocks third-party scripts and embedded content until you consent to the corresponding category.
[Art 122 paragraph 1 – Legislative Decree 196/2003]
2.4 Form protection without cookies — Cloudflare Turnstile
To protect the forms from spam we use Cloudflare Turnstile. It sets no cookies, but the browser loads a script from challenges.cloudflare.com and Cloudflare receives the IP address and a verification code. We consider it necessary for the security of the forms, so it is active even before the choice in the banner. The details are in the Privacy Policy.
[Art 6 par. 1 letter f) and Art 32 – Regulation (EU) 2016/679]
3. How to manage cookies
Through the banner and the link in the footer
On your first visit the banner lets you reject everything, accept everything or choose the categories. Until you choose, the banner stays visible and no optional cookie is active. You can change the choice at any time from the cookie preferences link at the bottom of every page. The banner does not record your IP address and saves nothing on the server: the choice stays in your browser.
[Art 7 par. 3 – Regulation (EU) 2016/679; Art 122 paragraph 1 – Legislative Decree 196/2003]
Through your browser settings
You can manage, block or delete cookies directly from your browser settings. Note: disabling technical cookies may compromise the proper working of some features of the site.

The fonts and images of the site are hosted on the site itself.
