Last updated: 28 October 20261. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in the visitor's browser and reads again on later visits. Similar tools, such as the browser's local storage , work in a similar way and are treated in the same way in this policy.
2. Technical cookies (always active)
They are necessary for the website to work and to remember your choices. They do not require consent (Art. 122(1), Italian Privacy Code).
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
argar_consent | argartechnology.com (first party, local storage) | Stores your cookie choices so the banner is not shown on every page | 6 months, then you are asked again |
The website's fonts, images, videos and scripts are hosted on our own server: simply browsing does not send data to third-party services such as Google Fonts or YouTube.
3. Statistics cookies (only with your consent)
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited, to collect aggregate statistics on how the website is used (pages visited, visit duration, origin, device). We do not use the data to profile you or for advertising, and we do not combine it with other data. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store full IP addresses.
Until you accept, the Google Analytics script is not loaded and no data is sent to Google.

4. How to manage your choices

- At any time: use the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of every page, or the button above, to change or withdraw your consent. If you withdraw consent, Google Analytics cookies are deleted.
- From your browser: you can block or delete cookies in the settings of Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. Blocking technical cookies may prevent the website from remembering your choices.
