Cookie policy

Updated on 19 October 2026

This page explains which cookies and similar technologies (such as browser storage) advace.it uses and how you can manage them, under Art. 122 of the Italian Privacy Code and the Italian Data Protection Authority's guidelines of 10 June 2021.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser to remember information from one page to the next. Similar technologies, such as the browser's local storage or scripts that read device data, follow the same rules. Some tools are needed for the website to work; the others are switched on only with your consent.

Technical tools

They do not require consent because they are needed for the website to work.

  • advace_consent: remembers your cookie choices (accepted categories, version of the choices and date). First party, lasts 6 months: then we ask you again.

  • __Secure-advace.session_token and __Secure-advace.session_data: only for people who log in to the private area, to keep the session. First party, up to 14 days (session_data 5 minutes).

  • advace-theme: your light or dark theme preference, saved in the browser's storage (localStorage). It is not a cookie and is not sent to any server.

Statistics (with consent)

Only if you accept the "Statistics" category do we load Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights, served from our own domain. They count visits and page views and measure page speed in aggregate form. They store no cookies or other data in your browser; to tell visits apart Vercel computes a temporary identifier that it discards within 24 hours. Provider: Vercel Inc. (USA), data processor. Without consent the scripts do not load; if you withdraw consent they stop sending data.

Multimedia content: YouTube (with consent)

The videos on this website are hosted on YouTube (Google). Previews go through our server, so until you start a video your browser does not contact Google.

The player loads only when you press Play, or straight away if you accepted the "Multimedia content" category. At that moment the browser downloads the player from www.youtube.com and the video from www.youtube-nocookie.com (privacy-enhanced mode): Google receives your IP address and may read or store cookies and other data in your browser (for example YSC, VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE and yt-remote-* entries in local storage), also for its own purposes such as statistics, preferences and advertising. Pressing Play counts as consent for every video on the website, for 6 months, and you can withdraw it at any time.

For details see Google's privacy policy and the page on technologies used by Google.

How to manage your preferences

On your first visit a banner asks you to choose: "Accept" switches on every category, "Reject" (or the X, which closes and rejects) leaves them off, "Customise" lets you choose category by category. If you reject, the banner does not come back for 6 months, unless the categories change.

You can change your mind at any time from the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of every page. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings:

If you block technical cookies the private area will not work.
