What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. Some are strictly necessary for the site to work, while others are used only after consent.
Cookies used on this site
The site currently uses a limited set of first-party cookies and, if you consent, Google Analytics 4 cookies.
- b4s_locale: remembers the selected language so the site can keep showing Italian or English.
- b4s_cookie_consent: stores your cookie choices so the banner is not shown on every visit.
- b4s_consent_id: stores a pseudonymous identifier used to link server-side consent audit events.
- _ga and _ga_<container-id>: Google Analytics 4 cookies used only after consent to distinguish users and persist session state.

How consent works
When you first open the site, only necessary cookies are allowed by default. Analytics cookies are loaded only if you actively accept them.
You can reject analytics, accept everything, or choose a custom configuration from the preferences panel.
How to change your choices
You can reopen the cookie preferences at any time from the footer link. You can also delete cookies from your browser settings if you prefer to remove them manually.
Third-party processing
If you enable analytics, Google LLC may receive usage data according to the Google Analytics 4 configuration and Google's applicable contractual safeguards.
The website also records server-side consent audit events (timestamp, consent state and pseudonymous consent ID) to document proof of consent and later updates.
