Cookie Policy

Last updated: 15 June 2026

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Below is the complete list of cookies and similar technologies (e.g. browser local storage) used on WorkshopFotografico.com. For each item we indicate: name, first/third party, provider, purpose, duration, category and whether your consent is required. Technical (necessary) cookies are essential for the site to work and do not require consent; third-party analytics cookies are activated only after you have given your consent. We do not use advertising profiling cookies.

2. Statistical / analytics cookies (only with prior consent)

Note on Google Consent Mode v2. On WorkshopFotografico.com Google Analytics is configured with Google Consent Mode v2 set by default to «denied»: when you land on the page, the analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization parameters are all set to «denied». This means that, until you give consent via the banner, Google Analytics writes no _ga / _ga_* cookies and does not collect your IP address. Only after you accept on the banner does analytics_storage switch to «granted» and the analytics cookies are activated. ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization always remain «denied»: we do not use advertising profiling cookies.

3. Managing your consent

On your first visit we show a banner to accept or reject analytics cookies. You can give or withdraw consent at any time by clicking «Cookie preferences» at the bottom of every page, or by deleting cookies from your browser settings. For more information on how Google Analytics uses data, see Google's policy at policies.google.com/privacy and support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.
