1. Technologies used
davstudios.it mainly uses localStorage, a browser storage mechanism, to remember technical settings and optional preferences. The term “Cookie Policy” is used broadly here to cover cookies and other technologies that read or write information on the user’s device.
2. Necessary technologies
- davstudios-cookie-consent: stores the privacy choice made through the website. The choice is treated as valid for up to approximately 6 months and can be changed at any time.
- davstudios-theme: remembers the selected light/dark appearance. It is used only to apply the requested theme and remains in the browser until changed or cleared.
- Technical data strictly required for website security, page delivery, Netlify Functions or Cloudflare Turnstile may be processed during requests without advertising purposes.
3. Optional preferences
If the user enables the “Preferences” category, localStorage may be used to save a temporary draft of the “Start a Project” form.
- davstudios-project-form-it: Italian project-form draft.
- davstudios-project-form-en: English project-form draft.
- The draft is automatically deleted within 7 days, after a successful submission or when the preference is withdrawn.
4. Cloudflare Web Analytics
Cloudflare Web Analytics is used in production for aggregate page-view and performance measurement. The configured implementation does not use cookies or localStorage for analytics and is not used to profile individual visitors.
The metrics are used to understand general website operation and improve performance and content.
5. Cloudflare Turnstile
The “Start a Project” and newsletter forms use Cloudflare Turnstile for anti-spam security. Turnstile may perform technical checks on the browser and request to distinguish real users from automated traffic. Its purpose on this website is security and abuse prevention.
_davstudios does not use Turnstile for behavioural advertising or commercial profiling.
6. Marketing and newsletter
Newsletter and promotional email consent is separate from the cookie banner. Subscription is managed through a specific opt-in followed by email confirmation (double opt-in) and can be withdrawn at any time.
The website currently does not use advertising cookies, Meta Pixel, Google Ads, remarketing or similar marketing profiling technologies.
7. Managing preferences
Preferences can be changed at any time through the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
Closing or rejecting the panel keeps only necessary technologies active. The “Preferences” category remains disabled until the user explicitly enables it.
Users may also delete cookies and localStorage through their browser settings.
8. Updates
This Cookie Policy is updated when the technologies actually used by the website change. Any future profiling or non-essential tracking technology will be handled in accordance with applicable law before activation.
