Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that may be stored on a user's device when visiting a website.

Websites may also use similar technologies, including local storage, pixels or other identifiers.

2. Current approach of StefanoAlcantaraTattoo.com

StefanoAlcantaraTattoo.com aims to minimize the use of non-essential tracking technologies.

Strictly necessary technologies may be used where required for:

• website security;
• technical operation;
• consent preferences;
• prevention of abuse;
• essential functionality.

Non-essential technologies should not be activated before the required visitor choice has been obtained.

3. Embedded YouTube content

Some pages may contain YouTube videos using a privacy-enhanced and click-to-load implementation.

Before the visitor presses Play, the website is designed not to load the YouTube iframe.

When the visitor chooses to activate a video, content is loaded from YouTube and Google may process information relating to the visitor's device or interaction in accordance with Google's own policies.

Activating the video constitutes a deliberate interaction with the external embedded service but does not replace any consent required by applicable law for other purposes.

4. Advertising cookies — Google AdSense

StefanoAlcantaraTattoo.com may use Google AdSense in the future.

If Google AdSense is enabled, Google and other advertising technology providers may use cookies, IP addresses, web beacons or similar identifiers to:

• serve advertisements;
• measure advertising performance;
• prevent invalid traffic and fraud;
• personalize advertising where legally permitted and consented to.

Google advertising cookies may be associated with Google or DoubleClick domains.

Advertising technologies requiring consent will not be activated until the necessary choice has been obtained.

5. Consent Management Platform

Before Google AdSense advertising is enabled for users in territories where Google requires it, StefanoAlcantaraTattoo.com will use a Consent Management Platform certified by Google and compatible with the applicable IAB Transparency and Consent Framework requirements.

The consent interface will provide clear controls, including options to accept or reject non-essential technologies.

The Reject option will not be made less prominent or harder to use than the Accept option.

Visitors will also be able to reopen their privacy preferences after making a choice.

The consent platform will control whether non-essential advertising technologies are loaded.

Analytics

StefanoAlcantaraTattoo.com does not intentionally use non-essential analytics cookies unless an analytics service is expressly implemented.

If analytics is added later, this Cookie Policy and the consent configuration will be updated before activation.

7. Current cookie list

The definitive list of cookies, storage technologies, vendors, purposes and retention periods will reflect the technologies actually active in production.

Once the certified consent platform is installed, the live cookie/vendor list presented by it should be treated as the current technical record.

8. Managing cookie preferences

Where a consent platform is active, visitors will be able to:

• accept optional technologies;
• reject optional technologies;
• configure preferences by purpose or vendor where available;
• change or withdraw their choice later.

9. Browser controls

Visitors can also delete or block cookies through their browser settings.

Blocking certain essential technologies may affect website functionality.

10. Updates

This Cookie Policy may be updated when technologies, advertising providers, embedded services or legal requirements change.
