Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience, and to give website operators information about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by other websites that serve content on the page you are viewing (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies," meaning they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are "persistent cookies," meaning they survive after your browser is closed and can be used by the website to recognize your device when you return.

This website, operated by F.G. SRL (registered at Via Amerigo Vespucci, 18, 20124 Milano, Italy), uses cookies as described in this policy. For questions about our cookie practices, you may contact us at [email protected].

F.G. SRL uses cookies for several purposes on this website. These purposes include ensuring the website functions correctly, understanding how visitors interact with our pages, measuring the effectiveness of our educational content, and, where you have given consent, delivering relevant advertisements on other platforms.

We categorize the cookies used on this website into three distinct tiers. Each tier serves a specific purpose, and your consent requirements differ depending on the category. You can read about each category in the sections below.

When you first visit this website, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of your screen. You are presented with three options:

• Accept All — Activates essential, analytics, and marketing cookies.
• Reject Non-Essential — Activates only essential cookies. Analytics and marketing cookies remain inactive.
• Manage Preferences — Opens a panel where you can toggle analytics and marketing cookies independently. Essential cookies are always active and cannot be disabled.

By clicking "Accept All Cookies," you consent to the storing of cookies on your device for analytics and advertising purposes, including personalized advertising delivered by Google and Meta. You may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie preferences panel without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

Your consent choice is stored in your browser's local storage for a period of 12 months. After this period, you will be asked to renew your choice.

If you dismiss the banner without making a selection, only essential cookies will be active.

Users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom receive the consent notice described above in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. Marketing and analytics cookies are activated solely after explicit, informed, freely given consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a). Consent is recorded with a timestamp and may be audited upon request.

You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Manage cookie preferences" in the website footer, or by clearing cookies via your browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred while consent was valid.

You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time using the following tools and resources:

• Google Ads Settings
• Your Online Choices (EU)
• Network Advertising Initiative
• Digital Advertising Alliance
• Meta Ad Preferences (Facebook / Instagram)

Opting out does not remove ads entirely. You will continue to see non-personalized advertisements. Additionally, you can manage your preferences directly on this website by clicking the button below.

We share certain data with advertising partners for campaign delivery and measurement. Recipients and the data categories shared include:

• Google LLC: Cookie identifiers, conversion events, anonymized behavioral data, remarketing lists. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• Meta Platforms, Inc.: Pixel events, conversion data, custom audiences. Governed by Meta's Data Policy.

We do not sell personal data. All transfers to Google and Meta operate under Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable. Data is processed for ad targeting and campaign measurement only and is not resold to unaffiliated third parties.

Google and Meta may use this data across their own platforms in accordance with their respective policies. We encourage users to review those policies directly.

In addition to using the cookie preferences panel on this website, you can control cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from websites. Please note that if you block all cookies (including essential cookies), some features of this website may not function correctly.

This website uses the following Google services:

• Google Analytics 4: Collects anonymized usage data, device information, and behavioral signals. IP anonymization is enabled. Data retention is set to 14 months. Users may opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Google Ads Conversion Tracking: Records when a user completes a defined action (such as a form submission) after clicking one of our ads. This data is used solely for measuring ad campaign performance.
• Google Remarketing: Allows us to show ads to previous visitors across Google's network. Remarketing lists are not created from sensitive data categories (health, finance, religion, sexual orientation).
• Google Tag Manager: Deploys tracking tags on our behalf. No personal data is collected by GTM itself; it acts as a container for the tags listed above.

Google's advertising products are governed by: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

This website uses the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. The pixel may record:

• Page views and time on site
• Specific conversion events (form submissions)
• Custom audience membership for retargeting purposes

We do not use the Meta Pixel to collect sensitive personal data, nor to target users based on health status, financial situation, religion, political views, sexual orientation, or any other special-category attribute prohibited under Meta's advertising policies.

Meta acts as an independent data controller for data collected via its Pixel and processed within its own platform. Refer to Meta's Data Policy.

This website is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors through cookies or any other means. If we discover that data has been collected from a person under 16 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete it promptly.

When we make material changes, we will post a notification on our homepage at least 14 days before the changes take effect. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was most recently revised.
