Cookie policy

This is a plain-language summary meant to be read in two minutes. It is for information only: in case of discrepancy the full version in the “Full version” tab always prevails.

What cookies are and why we use them

Cookies are small files the site saves in your browser. Those needed to make the site work (necessary) are always on. The others, on this site only those of the Google map, start only if you accept them.

Your choice

On your first visit the banner asks what to do: Accept all, Reject all or Customise to choose category by category. Closing the banner with the X counts as a refusal. Until you choose, no non-necessary cookie is set.

The categories

  • Necessary: session, Wine Club sign-in, the memory of your cookie choice. Always on.
  • Preferences: none at the moment.
  • Statistics: none at the moment; the site statistics use no cookies.
  • Marketing: the cookies Google may set with the map. The site shows no ads.

The full list, with providers and duration, is in the full version.

Changing your mind

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of the site's pages. If you remove a consent, third-party cookies already set are deleted. Your choice is stored for a maximum of 24 months, unless the notice changes substantially or you delete your browser cookies: in those cases we ask again. In the preferences panel you also find your consent ID, to quote if you write to us to exercise your rights.

Cookie policy of agricola-lafornace.it

This Cookie Policy describes which cookies and similar technologies are used by agricola-lafornace.it, operated by Azienda Agricola La Fornace di Fabio Giannetti (Data Controller, contact: info@agricola-lafornace.it), for which purposes and how you can manage your preferences. It is an integral part of the site's Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites send to the user's device, where they are stored and sent back on the next visit. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels, session identifiers) are treated the same way. Cookies can be first-party (set by this site) or third-party (set by external services embedded in the site).

How cookies are classified

  • By duration: session cookies, deleted when the browser closes, and persistent cookies, which remain until the stated expiry or until the user deletes them.
  • By origin: first-party cookies, set by the site being visited, and third-party cookies, set by a different domain (for example a statistics service or an embedded video).
  • By function: technical (necessary and preference), analytics (usage statistics) and profiling (marketing, targeted advertising). Only technical cookies do not require consent.

Categories of cookies used

  • Necessary: ensure the site works and is secure; no consent required.
  • Preferences: remember choices that are not essential to the service (for example display mode or list sorting). Consent required; settings explicitly requested by the user, such as the chosen language, are technical cookies instead.
  • Statistics: measure site usage in aggregated form. Consent required, except for tools that do not identify the user.
  • Marketing: profile browsing to show relevant content and ads. Consent required.

No cookie other than the necessary ones is set before the user's choice. No choice, closing the banner or continuing to browse does not amount to consent.

Statistics without cookies

For usage statistics the site uses Umami, which sets no cookies, saves nothing on your device and does not identify visitors: this is why it does not ask for consent. Details are in the Privacy Policy.

Third-party embedded content

The “Where we are” page contains a Google Maps map, which remains blocked and replaced by a placeholder until consent is given to marketing cookies: only after consent does the browser connect to Google's servers, which receive the IP address and may set their own cookies according to their notice. The site's videos are hosted on the site itself and set no third-party cookies.

How we keep proof of your choice

Every choice made in the banner (acceptance, refusal, customisation, withdrawal) is recorded by the Controller in a consent register with: the random consent identifier, date and time, the choice per category, the version of the notice shown, the language, the page and the IP address in minimised form (last octet zeroed for IPv4, last groups for IPv6). The register contains no name, email or other data identifying the person and serves only to demonstrate, as required by law, that consent was given freely and on an informed basis. It is kept for 24 months from the choice, unless a further period is needed to protect the Controller's rights.

How to manage and withdraw consent

Preferences can be changed at any time via the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of every page of the site: consent for one or more categories can be withdrawn as easily as it was given. Upon withdrawal, third-party cookies already set are removed and the page is reloaded.

The site honours the Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track signals: if enabled in the browser, optional categories are proposed disabled. Cookies can also be blocked or deleted from the browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge); blocking necessary cookies may prevent the site from working properly.

For visitors in the United States: optional cookies stay off until you accept them, and we do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising. Details are in the Privacy Policy.

What happens if you refuse

Refusing optional cookies does not prevent you from using the site: all functions remain available, including the Wine Club. The Google map stays blocked until you enable it. Cookie-free statistics stay on because they do not require consent. Your choice remains valid for a maximum of 24 months (see The cookie that stores your choice).

Managing cookies from the browser

Besides the site's preferences panel, cookies can be blocked or deleted from the browser settings. Instructions for the main browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Opera. On smartphones: browser or system settings (iOS: Settings → Safari; Android: Chrome → Settings → Site settings). Blocking necessary cookies may prevent the site from working properly.

When the banner comes back

Once you have made your choice, the banner is not shown again on every visit. It comes back only if: the notice changes substantially (for example new third parties or new purposes), consent has expired (24 months), or cookies were deleted from the browser so the previous choice can no longer be verified. You can review your choice at any time from the “Cookie preferences” link, without waiting for the banner.

Transfers to non-EU countries

The provider of the third-party cookies, Google LLC, is based in the United States. For providers certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, transfers may rely on the related adequacy decision; in other cases the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission and the further safeguards provided by law are used, supplemented by additional measures where necessary. References are given in the cookie list.

Legal references

This Cookie Policy is provided under art. 122 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003 (Privacy Code), Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy) and arts. 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), in accordance with the Italian Data Protection Authority's Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools of 10 June 2021: free and specific consent per category, no non-technical cookie before the choice, refusal as easy as acceptance, withdrawal at any time, proof of consent retained.

Updates to this policy

Version cookie-2026-11, published on 2026-11-05. This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the services used or in the law; in case of substantial changes consent will be requested again through the banner.
