Google Analytics | Tell one visitor from another so visits can be counted | Only if you accept statistics | Up to two years |
The first two are technical cookies: they make the site work the way you asked and do not need consent.
Visit statistics
We use Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, to see how many people read the site and which articles are read most. It is loaded through Google’s own tools (the Google tag or Google Tag Manager).
- It only switches on if you accept. Until you answer, or if you reject, Analytics is not loaded and stores no cookies.
- No advertising. We do not use the data for ads or advertising profiles: those features stay switched off.
- You can change your mind. The “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of every page reopens the notice. If you reject after accepting, the Analytics cookies are deleted.
After six months the notice is shown again.
Statistics without cookies
Besides Analytics, the site counts page views with a system of our own that uses no cookies and stores nothing on your device: that is why it is not in the table, and it works even if you reject. It does not record the IP address, uses no identifier that lasts longer than a day and honours your browser’s privacy signal (Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track). Details are in the privacy notice.
What we do not use
- No advertising or profiling cookies.
- No social buttons that track your browsing.
How the language is chosen
On your first visit the site takes you to the edition that matches your browser language. If that language is not Italian or Spanish, it shows the English edition. You can switch edition at any time from the menu at the top: from then on your choice applies.
How to remove them
You can delete cookies from your browser settings. On your next visit the language will be chosen automatically again and the statistics notice will reappear.
If anything changes
If the site uses other cookies in future, this page will be updated and, where required, you will be asked for consent first.
