Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Artiva Design uses them on www.artiva.it, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy (Part I above).

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to store certain information about your preferences or actions.

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies — temporary files deleted when you close your browser.

  • Persistent cookies — files that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

  • First-party cookies — set by the website you are visiting.

  • Third-party cookies — set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.

2. Cookies Used on This Website

2.1 Strictly Necessary / Technical Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and the consent management platform. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest; no consent required (Italian DPA guidelines, Provision of 10 June 2021).

Examples:

  • WordPress session and authentication cookies (e.g., wordpress_logged_in_*, wp-settings-*).

  • Consent management cookies that store your cookie preferences (e.g., CookieConsent, cookielawinfo-*).

2.2 Preferences / Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as language, region, or display preferences) and provide enhanced, personalised features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent, or Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interest where strictly functional.

2.3 Analytics / Statistics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages. All information is aggregated and therefore anonymous. This helps us understand and improve how the Website works.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent (unless the data is fully anonymised, in which case no consent is required per the Italian DPA’s 2022 guidelines on Google Analytics and similar tools).

Examples:

  • Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat) — used to collect aggregated statistics on Website usage. Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC. Retention: up to 26 months. Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

2.4 Marketing / Profiling Cookies

These cookies track your browsing activity across websites to enable advertising networks to show you relevant advertisements. They may also limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — explicit consent required.

At the time of drafting this policy, Artiva Design does not actively use first-party marketing cookies. However, embedded content from social platforms (Instagram, Behance, Facebook, X/Twitter) linked from the Website may set third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective platform’s cookie policies for further information.

3. Third-Party Services

The Website may embed or link to content and services provided by third parties, which may set their own cookies independently. These include:

  • WordPress / Automattic — platform and hosting.

  • Google Analytics / Google LLC — audience measurement.

  • Instagram / Meta Platforms — social media links and embeds.

  • Behance / Adobe Inc. — portfolio links.

  • Facebook / Meta Platforms — social media links.

  • X (Twitter) / X Corp. — social media links.

Artiva Design is not responsible for the cookies set by these third parties. We encourage you to review their respective privacy and cookie policies.

4. Managing Cookie Preferences

4.1 Consent Management Platform

When you first visit the Website, a consent banner will ask you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You may change your preferences at any time by clicking the ‘Manage Consent’ link available in the footer of every page.

4.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that disabling or refusing certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.

For guidance on managing cookies in the most common browsers:

  • Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647

  • Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer

  • Apple Safari: support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies

  • Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies

4.3 Opt-Out for Analytics

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your browsing activity tracked. Because there is currently no industry-standard response to DNT signals, the Website does not currently respond to DNT browser settings.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Artiva Design may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies used, applicable laws, or our practices. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised date. Where significant changes are made, a notice will be displayed on the Website.
