Premise
This cookie policy is drawn up pursuant to regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), taking into account the most recent provisions of the Italian Data Protection Authority, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Commission, including the EU-US Adequacy Decision of 10 July 2023 on the Data Privacy Framework.
The website www.lauraclarke.it uses cookies to make its services simple and functional for users.
Users viewing the website will see small amounts of information placed on their devices, both computer and mobile, consisting of small text files called “cookies”, which are saved in the directories used by the user’s web browser and retransmitted to the same website on the following visit.
“Third-party” cookies, on the other hand, are set by a domain different from the one a user is currently visiting.
This is because each site may contain elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that are hosted by servers other than that of the site visited.
There are different types of cookies, each with different functionalities. Some are used to maximise the efficiency of the site (technical cookies), others to enable some functions (analytics cookies and profiling cookies).
Types of cookies
Technical cookies.
This type of cookie allows correct functioning of some sections of the site.
There are two categories: persistent and session:
– persistent: once the browser is closed, they are not deleted but remain until a reset expiry date;
– session: they are deleted every time the browser is closed.
These cookies are always sent from this domain and are necessary to correctly view the website and in relation to the technical services offered; they will therefore always be used and sent, unless the user changes the settings in their browser (thus eliminating the possibility of viewing the pages of the website).
Analytics cookies
Cookies in this category are used to collect statistical information in an aggregate and anonymous form on the use made by users of the website. The site uses Google Analytics 4 with IP address anonymisation enabled, without cross-site tracking and without sharing data with Google for its own purposes. Analytics cookies do not allow the identification of the user and fall within the legitimate interest of the data controller pursuant to Art. 6, par. 1, lett. f) of the GDPR. They do not require prior consent as they do not involve profiling activities.
Cookies in this category are used to collect information on the use of the website. This information is used for anonymous statistical analysis in order to improve the website and make the content more interesting and relevant. This type of cookie collects data anonymously on the user’s activity and how he or she arrived on the website. Analytical cookies are sent from the website itself or from third-party domains.
Third-party service analysis cookies
The website uses tools made available by third parties, such as Google Analytics 4 and Google Fonts. Google Analytics 4 allows monitoring of visits in an anonymous and aggregate form. The user’s IP address is anonymized before saving. Google Fonts is used to improve the visual experience, and involves a request to the Google server, which can record the user’s IP address. Data can be transferred to the United States exclusively to providers adhering to the Data Privacy Framework recognized by the European Commission (Decision 10 July 2023).
These cookies are used to collect information on the use of the site by users in an anonymous form, such as: pages visited, browsing time, origin of the traffic, geographical origin, age, gender and interests for the purposes of marketing campaigns. These cookies are sent from third-party domains external to the site.
Cookies to integrate third-party products and functionalities
This type of cookie integrates features developed by third parties on the pages of the website, such as icons and preferences expressed on social networks in order to share the content of the website or for the use of third-party software services (such as software to generate maps and additional software that offers additional services). These cookies are sent from third-party domains and from partner sites that offer their features on the pages of the website. The management of information collected by “third parties” is regulated by the relevant policy to which you are kindly requested to refer.
Profiling cookies (not used by this website)
Profiling cookies are used to create a user profile based on the preferences and tastes expressed by the user while browsing the internet, and to display advertising consistent with this profile. In this way, the advertising that the user will see on this website may be more interesting. Current privacy legislation requires the user to give prior consent for the installation of these cookies.
Consent
When a user visits the website for the first time, a banner appears on the screen to say that the website uses cookies. The banner asks the user if they want more information and contains a link to this page and an accept button.
The acquisition of consent for technical and analytics cookies is not required, as they are necessary to provide the services requested. For all other types of cookies, the user may revoke consent using one or more of the following methods:
– through specific configurations of the browser used or of the relative computer programmes used to navigate the pages of the website.
– by changing the settings of use of third-party services.
Both of these solutions could prevent the user from using or viewing parts of the website.
Types of cookies used
- A) technical cookies (necessary)
These cookies are essential to allow correct navigation of the website and the use of its features, including the contact form. They do not require the user’s consent.
- B) analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4)
The website uses Google Analytics 4 with active IP anonymisation and without sharing data with Google for its own purposes. The data collected is aggregated and does not allow the user to be identified. Consent is not required.
Third-party tools
Cookies that may be installed by third-party plugins:
Information and configurations.
The pages of the website may use widgets from various service providers (e.g. Google, Facebook) which, in order to provide their services, may insert cookies into the browser used to visit the website.
The data controller undertakes to identify these cookies before they are used in order to allow the user to decide whether they wish to accept them or not.
Further information relating to these cookies is available on the website of the third party in question.

- A) Google Fonts
The fonts used by the website are loaded via Google Fonts. The service can record the user’s IP address. The legal basis is the legitimate interest of the data controller (art. 6, par. 1, lett. F) GDPR).
- B) Links to Linkedin and Instagram
This website may contain links to profiles or pages managed on third-party social platforms, such as Linkedin (managed by Linkedin Ireland unlimited company) and Instagram (managed by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited). These links are provided for the sole purpose of facilitating the retrieval of professional or informative content related to the activity of the owner.
The data controller does not share personal data directly with these platforms by inserting links on the website, nor does she incorporate social plugins that determine the release of cookies or tracking tools by these third parties while browsing this site.
However, by clicking on such links, the user will be redirected to external domains (e.g. Linkedin.com, Instagram.com) that operate as independent data controllers. Access to such pages may involve the collection of personal data by the respective platforms, such as the IP address, access time, type of device or browser, and other technical or behavioural information, according to the relevant cookie policies and privacy policies.
Users are therefore advised to consult the policies in question, available at the following links:
Instagram: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy
Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
Transfer of data to third countries
Any transfer of personal data to third countries takes place in compliance with articles 44–49 of the GDPR. For Google services (e.g. Analytics, Fonts), the transfer may take place to the United States on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023 relating to the Data Privacy Framework. The providers involved are included in the official list of the programme managed by the US Department of Commerce.

Users can manage their cookie preferences directly from their browser, preventing the installation of third-party cookies or deleting those already installed. Disabling technical cookies could compromise the functioning of the website.
