How to choose or withdraw consent
On your first visit the banner lets you accept all cookies, reject them or customise your choice by category. Rejecting does not limit your use of the site. You can change your mind at any time with the button below or the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of every page: if you withdraw consent, we delete that category's cookies from your browser.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. For Google Analytics there is also the official opt-out add-on.
External services
When you click links to external services (Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, the Stripe payment page, Substack) you leave our site and their cookie policies apply. We do not load their scripts on our site: video previews are served from our own server and the newsletter form sends your email straight to Substack without setting cookies.
Data transfers
Google and Meta may process data in the United States as well. Both are certified under the EU-US and Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures an adequate level of protection.
Legal framework
This policy follows the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and art. 45c of the Telecommunications Act, EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), art. 122 of the Italian Privacy Code and the Italian Data Protection Authority's cookie guidelines of 10 June 2021. For everything else about data processing see the privacy policy.
