1. What cookies and similar technologies do
Cookies are small pieces of data stored by the browser. The site may also use local storage for requested functions, such as the guestbook’s temporary limit. We distinguish necessary functions from two optional categories: analytics and external videos. Simply browsing, scrolling or closing a notice does not constitute acceptance of analytics.
2. Necessary
These enable site use, authorised login, security and privacy preferences. Strictly necessary functions do not require consent. Some are created only when you use the function, not on every anonymous visit.
| Name or family | Function and when used | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| af_privacy_v1 | Stores analytics and external-video choices, date and choice version. First-party. | Six months |
| WordPress login cookies, including wordpress_logged_in_* and wordpress_sec_* | Recognise the session after authorised login. Not used for Analytics. | Session or account authentication period, depending on Remember me; end at logout or applicable expiry |
| wordpress_test_cookie; wp_lang when used | Technical cookie check during login; login interface language where used. | Session |
| af_guestbook_last · local storage | Limits repeated guestbook submissions after a message is sent. Does not contain message text. | The active check covers 60 seconds; the local value remains until overwritten or deleted by the browser |
| af-fighter-audio · local storage | Remembers the audio preference selected for the temporary page game. | Until overwritten or deleted by the browser |
Administration tools and previews may use additional technical staff cookies. af_privacy_preview_v1 is preview-only and separates tests from public-site choices.
3. Optional analytics with Google Analytics 4
The service is provided by Google Ireland Limited and Google entities involved in its delivery. We use the property already associated with AlexFantini.com to understand views, visited sections and articles, traffic sources, scrolling, time with the page visible, interest in courses and products, contact clicks and video interactions.
For internal search we record usage and result counts without transmitting the free text entered. Links are classified by content or destination, without sending confidential address parameters. We do not send passwords, personal emails, form content or guestbook messages. Login and account management pages and staff activities are excluded from measurement. These choices are not used for personalised advertising, Google Signals, User-ID or screen recording.
| Name | Function | Configured duration | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes browsers/users with a pseudonymous identifier. | Up to 12 months from first issue; the browser may apply shorter limits | Only after analytics consent and service activation |
| _ga_* | Stores session information for the GA4 property. | Up to 12 months from first issue, according to tag configuration | Only after analytics consent and service activation |
These identifiers do not automatically make data anonymous. The service may involve international transfers: details are in the Privacy Notice and the mechanisms declared by Google. Provider information: GA4 cookies e data use on sites using Google services.
4. Choosing and changing your mind
The banner offers Reject optional cookies, Customise e Accept all. Closing with X means continuing without analytics and external videos. These may be authorised separately. Optional preferences start disabled. The Analytics tag does not load before consent; refusal does not prevent browsing or accessing content you are authorised to view.
You can reopen Cookie preferences at the bottom of the pages, withdraw consent and save. This stops measurement, removes Analytics cookies accessible for the domain and reloads the page. Withdrawal does not automatically erase previously processed data; to exercise your rights contact privacy@alexfantini.com.
Your choice is remembered for six months, unless cookies are deleted or relevant changes require a new decision. An essential record of the choice and notice version is kept for 365 days, without IP, user agent, email or Analytics identifiers. Disabling all cookies in your browser may stop necessary functions such as login from working.
5. Videos and external links
Course videos are delivered from the site’s restricted archive without a YouTube player. Normal YouTube links open the external service. The separate category External videos · YouTube authorises the player and thumbnails on the temporary page. Before consent we load no Google/YouTube APIs, player or thumbnails. Without consent the direct channel link remains available.
The player uses youtube-nocookie.com in Google’s described privacy-enhanced mode. This does not mean no communication with the provider. Once authorised, the service may use its own cookies and storage for delivery, security and preferences according to its configuration and any Google user session; names and durations may vary. See the player documentation, the Google cookie rules and the service privacy policy.
If you withdraw this choice, the site removes the embedded player and blocks new loads. It cannot directly delete cookies on Google/YouTube domains; manage these in browser or service settings.
6. Further information
Google Analytics configuration was activated on 18 October 2026. Collection occurs only after separate analytics consent; refusal and withdrawal prevent subsequent loads. For purposes, legal bases, recipients, retention and rights, see the Privacy Notice at the bottom of the pages.
