Cookie Policy

Last updated: 17 April 2026

This Cookie Policy describes the types of cookies and other tracking tools used by alchimiastudio.ai, the purposes pursued, and how users can give or withdraw consent, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 («GDPR»), Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003, and the Guidelines on cookies issued by the Italian Data Protection Authority on 10 June 2021 (doc. web no. 9677876).

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that the websites visited save on the user's device (computer, smartphone, tablet) during browsing. They allow the site to recognize the device on subsequent visits, store preferences, and improve the browsing experience.

The same rules apply to other «tracking tools» that perform functions similar to cookies: web beacons, pixels, persistent identifiers, fingerprinting techniques, local storage (localStorage, sessionStorage).

2. Types of cookies

According to the Garante's Guidelines of 10 June 2021, cookies fall into three main categories:

Technical cookies

Used exclusively to transmit a communication over an electronic network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the user. They include session cookies, navigation cookies, authentication cookies, and cookies that store consent choices. They do not require user consent but must be disclosed.

Analytics cookies

Used to collect aggregate information on site usage. They are treated as technical cookies and do not require consent if: they are first-party, used exclusively to produce aggregate statistics, have the IP address masked (at least the last octet obfuscated), and the data is not shared with third parties or used for purposes other than statistical measurement. Otherwise they require the user's prior consent.

Profiling cookies

Used to create user profiles and send personalized advertising messages. They always require the user's prior explicit consent under Articles 6 and 7 GDPR and Art. 122 of the Italian Privacy Code.

3. Cookies used by this site

alchimiastudio.ai uses only technical cookies. It does not use first- or third-party analytics cookies, nor profiling or marketing cookies.

First-party technical cookies

  • Session and security cookies generated by the hosting platform (Vercel Inc.); purpose: proper site delivery and abuse protection; duration: session or up to 12 months
  • Language preference cookie; purpose: remember the user's selected language; duration: 12 months

Third-party technical cookies: contact form anti-spam

On the /contact page, Cloudflare Turnstile is used to verify that form submissions come from human users. The service may set cookies that are strictly necessary for the security challenge, for purely technical purposes (no tracking or profiling):

  • Name: cf_chl_* and similar (Cloudflare challenge cookies)
  • Purpose: perform the anti-bot verification when the form is submitted
  • Duration: session or a few minutes
  • Controller: Cloudflare Inc., United States (certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework)

4. Consent

This site uses exclusively technical cookies, which under Art. 122 of the Italian Privacy Code and the Garante's Guidelines of 10 June 2021 do not require the user's prior consent. For this reason, no consent collection banner is displayed.

If analytics cookies without IP masking or profiling cookies are introduced in the future, users will be notified via an appropriate banner and asked for their consent, in compliance with applicable law.

5. Disabling cookies from the browser

Users can also disable cookies directly via their browser settings. Official guides:
