This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on the website www.andreapiani.com, which types of cookies are present, and how you can manage or disable them.
In short: www.andreapiani.com is a static website hosted on a content delivery network, with one single serverless function (/api/lead) that runs only when you submit a contact form, in order to email its content to the Controller (see Privacy Policy). There is no database. Since 5 August 2026 the Site sets no cookies at all, performs no analytics and no tracking, and loads no third-party assets.
Cookies are small text files that visited websites send to the user's device (computer, smartphone, tablet), where they are stored to be retransmitted to the same websites on the next visit.
In general, cookies can be used to:
This Site sets no cookies at all (see §2). Nothing is used to collect statistics or to track you.
These are essential cookies for the website to function. Without these cookies, some functionalities cannot be provided. According to the Italian Data Protection Authority Provision no. 229/2014, they do not require user consent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
None. Until 4 August 2026 the Site set one cookie, cookie_consent, whose only job was to remember your answer to the cookie banner. Since the Site runs no analytics and no tracking, that question had no object and both the banner and the cookie have been removed. If the cookie is still present in your browser from an earlier visit, it is deleted automatically on the first page you open. |

Note: the Site is served as static files, with one serverless function (/api/lead) that runs only when you submit a contact form. It uses no server-side session cookies.
The Site stores a small number of technical user-interface preferences in your browser's localStorage. These are not cookies, are never transmitted to any server, and contain no tracking identifiers. They exist solely to remember your display choices between visits.

The Site collects no statistics at all. There is no analytics service — neither first-party nor third-party (e.g. Google Analytics) — no tracking, no event logging and no collection or logging of visitor IP addresses by the Site. Accordingly, no analytical or profiling cookies are set. Since there is nothing to consent to, no cookie banner is shown. The consent mechanism remains implemented in the Site's code but is dormant: it re-activates automatically on every page if a tool requiring consent is ever configured. Should that happen, this Cookie Policy will be updated and explicit consent under Art. 6.1.a GDPR will be requested beforehand, with the tool loaded only after acceptance.
The Site sets no third-party cookies. However, in order to serve the website's content, the following third parties may technically receive your IP address (an unavoidable consequence of any HTTP request to their servers). None of them is used by the Owner for analytics or profiling:
| Service | Role / Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel Inc. (USA) | Static hosting and content delivery network (CDN). May process technical server logs to deliver the pages and protect the infrastructure. | Link |
| Resend Inc. (USA) & Google (Gmail) | Deliver the contact-form email to the Controller's mailbox. They set no cookies and are not involved in ordinary browsing: they come into play only when you submit a form. | Resend · Google |
| Meta / WhatsApp (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.) | Contacted only if you click a WhatsApp link or send a pre-filled WhatsApp message from a form. No WhatsApp content is loaded otherwise. | Link |
Note: We do not have direct control over how these third parties process the technical data they receive. We invite you to consult their respective privacy policies.
Serving the Site may involve transfers of technical data (your IP address) to the United States, namely to Vercel Inc. (hosting), and — only upon your own action — to Resend Inc. and Google (delivery of the email generated by a form you submit) or to Meta Platforms (when you use a WhatsApp link). No data is transferred to China or to any other non-EU country. These transfers are safeguarded under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
No cookie banner is shown, because there is no cookie and no tracking tool for which consent could be asked (see §2). For the same reason the "Manage Cookies" link no longer appears in the footer: there are no preferences to manage.
The mechanism remains in the code and re-activates automatically on every page should a tool requiring consent ever be introduced. In that case the banner would let you:
Not needed: the Site sets no cookies and shows no banner (see §2 and §5).
You can disable cookies directly from your browser settings:
⚠️ Warning: completely disabling local storage may switch off convenience features such as remembering your light/dark theme.
No analytics tools (first-party or third-party) are active on the Site (see §2), so there is nothing to opt out of. Should any analytics service be introduced in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated and an appropriate opt-out mechanism will be provided.
If you browse from smartphone/tablet, you can manage cookies via:
