How consent works
Necessary storage is used only to provide requested functions. Audience measurement and personalized advertising are separate optional purposes, disabled by default. Rejecting them does not restrict access to the site.
Cookie and tracker inventory
| Name or tool | Purpose | Provider | Duration | Activation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| eu-consent Necessary |
Stores the consent version, date and choices for each optional purpose. | BitOrBear.com | 6 months | After the requested setting |
| bb_language Necessary |
Stores the language explicitly selected by the visitor. | BitOrBear.com | 12 months | After the requested setting |
| Umami Audience measurement |
Measures page views, events and browser performance without receiving email addresses or URL query strings. | BitOrBear.com / monitoring.filippoceli.com | No client cookie expected; server data up to 25 months | Only after audience consent |
| analytics_hits Audience measurement |
Stores aggregate first-party page statistics, with salted hashes for IP address and user agent. | BitOrBear.com | No client cookie expected; server data up to 25 months | Only after audience consent |
| _ga, _ga_* Audience measurement |
Measures visits and events. Advertising signals stay disabled unless advertising consent is also granted. | Google Analytics | Up to 13 months | Only after audience consent |
| Google AdSense Advertising |
Selects, limits and measures personalized ads only after advertising consent and activation of a certified consent platform. | Google and disclosed advertising partners | Defined by the provider and disclosed before activation | Blocked until the advertising safeguards are configured |
Newsletter opening pixel
The optional newsletter opening pixel is separate from web cookie choices. It is inserted only for subscribers who tick the dedicated, non-required checkbox. Subscription and delivery continue without it.
Change or withdraw your choice
Use “Cookie settings” in the footer on any page. Withdrawal stops future loading of optional scripts, removes known first-party analytics cookies and reloads the current page. Choices expire after six months so that consent can be renewed.
Providers and advertising readiness
Audience providers are BitOrBear.com, the self-hosted Umami instance and, only when configured, Google Analytics. Google AdSense code and ad slots are prepared but remain disabled. Before serving Google ads in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, BitOrBear.com also requires a Google-certified TCF consent platform and an updated provider list.
