Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy complements our Privacy Policy (ditap.io/en/privacy) and explains, in verifiable detail, which cookies and local storage technologies ditap.io actually uses — not a generic list, but what actually runs on this site today.

While browsing the site, the consent panel asks before activating any cookie that isn't strictly necessary, in line with the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC, GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the Italian Garante's Provvedimento 231/2021.

2. What cookies and similar technologies are

A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. Beyond cookies, this site also uses browser local storage (`localStorage`), which serves an equivalent purpose: saving a preference on your device so we don't ask again on your next visit. For the purposes of this policy, we treat both technologies the same way.

We don't use cookies to sell you anything you didn't ask for, or to build a cross-site advertising profile without your consent.

3. Cookies and storage we actually use today

This table reflects what the site's code actually triggers — not an aspirational list:

NameTypePurposeCategoryDuration
`NEXT_LOCALE`First-party cookieRemembers your language (es/en/it) so you're not redirected again on your next visit.Strictly necessary1 year
`ditap-theme`Local storageRemembers whether you chose light or dark mode.Strictly necessaryUntil cleared
`ditap-cookie-consent-v1`Local storageStores which cookie categories you accepted or rejected.Strictly necessary180 days, then re-prompted
`_ga`, `_ga_*`, `_gid`Third-party cookie (Google)Measures traffic and aggregate site behavior (Google Analytics 4, ID G-LX5Z6C9RR6).Analytics — requires your consentUp to 14 months
Sentry session identifierTechnical, non-persistent storageApplication error diagnostics and site stability. Does not build an advertising profile.Strictly necessary (technical legitimate interest)Session duration

"Marketing" category in the consent panel: the panel includes a marketing category (intended for tools like Meta Pixel or Google Ads) reserved for future use. We currently load no marketing script or third-party advertising cookie on the site — toggling that category on has no effect yet. If we add marketing tools in the future, we'll update this table before activating them.

4. Categories and legal basis

Strictly necessary. Do not require your consent (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR / technical legitimate interest, and the Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive exemption for cookies essential to deliver the service you requested). Without them, basic functions like language or theme won't persist between visits.

Analytics. Require your prior, explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Denied by default: we use Google Consent Mode v2, which starts with `analytics_storage: denied` until you choose "Accept all" or enable the "Analytics" category under "Customize".

Marketing. Same as analytics, requires prior consent. Currently has no practical effect since no marketing scripts are active (see Section 3).

5. Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 (property G-LX5Z6C9RR6) to understand which pages are visited and improve the site. It only loads in production and only if you've given consent:

  • Anonymized IP: we set `anonymize_ip: true` in the configuration.
  • Consent Mode v2: all consent signals (`analytics_storage`, `ad_storage`, `ad_user_data`, `ad_personalization`) start as `denied` and only switch to `granted` once you explicitly authorize it.
  • Retention: up to 14 months, configured in the Analytics property.
  • How to opt out regardless: you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) in addition to rejecting the category in our panel.

    • More detail on this provider as a sub-processor is in Section 4 of our Privacy Policy (ditap.io/en/privacy).

    6. Technical monitoring (Sentry)

    We use Sentry to detect application errors and measure stability (for example, if a page throws an exception in your browser). It's an engineering tool, not a marketing one: it doesn't build advertising profiles and isn't shared with advertisers.

    Sentry may use short-lived technical storage in your browser to correlate events within the same session while your visit lasts. It's not a persistent cross-site tracking cookie. We treat it as strictly necessary based on our legitimate interest in service security and stability (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, Recital 49).

    7. How to manage your preferences

    You have full control, at any time:

  • This site's panel: the button below on this page reopens the consent panel so you can accept, reject or customize each category.
  • Browser settings: every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies from its privacy settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause the site to lose your language or theme between visits.
  • Clearing local storage: you can clear `localStorage` from your browser's developer tools (Application → Local Storage) if you want to manually remove `ditap-theme` or `ditap-cookie-consent-v1`.

    • Withdrawing consent doesn't affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

    8. Updates to this policy

    If we add a new tool that uses cookies or local storage — for example, if we activate marketing in the future — we'll update the table in Section 3 and the "Last updated" date before that tool starts running, and we'll ask for your consent again where required.
