Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2026
This page describes the use of cookies and similar technologies on the artide.studio website, in compliance with the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive and the Guidelines of the Italian Data Protection Authority (2021).
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites store on the user's device. They can be "technical" (necessary for operation) or "profiling/third-party" (for statistics or marketing), which require the user's prior consent.
2. Technical cookies (necessary)
Always active: essential to deliver the site and ensure its security. They do not require consent.

5. Cookieless statistics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, an aggregate analytics solution that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data or perform fingerprinting. For this reason it does not require consent.
6. Google Tag Manager and Consent Mode v2
The site uses Google Tag Manager to manage tags (e.g. Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads). Google Tag Manager is a management tool and does not itself install profiling cookies. The site implements Google Consent Mode v2: Google tags start in a "denied" state and are activated only after your consent. Without consent, no statistics or marketing cookies are installed.
7. Managing consent
You can change or withdraw your choices at any time via the button below or the "Manage cookies" link at the bottom of every page. Alternatively, you can manage cookies from your browser settings.
