Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 28, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on www.giuseppecorcella.com.
1. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on a user’s browser or device.
Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, pixels, scripts, embedded content, tags, and other tools that can store or access information on a user’s device.
For simplicity, this Cookie Policy refers to cookies and similar technologies together as “cookies” or “tracking technologies”.
2. Types of Cookies
Cookies may be used for different purposes.
2.1 Strictly necessary / technical cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Website to work properly, securely, and efficiently.
They may be used to:
- load and display pages;
- maintain website security;
- prevent technical errors;
- remember cookie preferences, if a cookie banner is used;
- provide basic website functionality.
Strictly necessary or technical cookies do not require prior consent, but they are described in this Cookie Policy for transparency.
2.2 Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies are used to collect information about how visitors use a website.
The Website does not knowingly use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Plausible, Umami, Matomo, PostHog, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, or similar services at this time.
If analytics tools are added in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated with the relevant information, including provider, purpose, category, duration, and consent requirements.
2.3 Third-party media cookies
Third-party media cookies or similar technologies may be used when embedded content is loaded on the Website.
This may include, for example:
- an embedded ReelCrafter audio playlist or music player;
- YouTube videos, if added in the future;
- other embedded audio, video, or social media content.
These third-party services may collect technical information, set cookies, use similar technologies, or track user interactions according to their own policies.
Where third-party embedded media uses non-essential cookies or tracking technologies, it should be blocked by default and loaded only after the user has given consent.
2.4 Advertising and remarketing cookies
The Website does not knowingly use advertising cookies, remarketing pixels, Meta Pixel, Google Ads tags, or similar marketing technologies.
If these technologies are added in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated and the relevant technologies will only be used where legally permitted and, where required, after the user has given consent.
3. Cookies Currently Expected on the Website
Based on the current structure of the Website, the Website is intended to use only limited technologies necessary to display the Website and its content.
The following categories may apply:
| Category | Purpose | Consent required |
| Strictly necessary / technical | To make the Website work, maintain security, and remember cookie preferences | No |
| Third-party media | To load embedded audio or video content, such as ReelCrafter or YouTube | Yes, where non-essential cookies or trackers are involved |
| Analytics | Not knowingly used at this time | Not applicable unless added |
| Advertising / remarketing | Not used | Not applicable |
A final technical audit should be performed before publication to identify the exact cookies, local storage items, session storage items, scripts, and third-party requests used by the Website.
4. ReelCrafter Audio Player
The Website may include an embedded ReelCrafter audio player or playlist.
ReelCrafter is a third-party service. When the ReelCrafter player is loaded, ReelCrafter may process technical data, use cookies, or use similar technologies according to its own policies and technical settings.
For this reason, if the ReelCrafter embed uses non-essential cookies or tracking technologies, the player should not be loaded until the user has accepted the relevant third-party media cookie category.
If a technical audit confirms that the ReelCrafter embed does not set non-essential cookies or tracking technologies before user interaction, the cookie banner configuration may be adjusted accordingly.
5. YouTube Videos and Other Embedded Content
The Website may include links to YouTube videos or other external pages.
A simple link to YouTube or another external website does not, by itself, set cookies through this Website.
However, if YouTube videos or other third-party media are embedded directly into the Website through iframes, scripts, widgets, or players, they may use cookies or similar technologies.
If YouTube videos or other third-party media are embedded in the future, they should be configured in a privacy-friendly way where possible and should not be loaded before the user has accepted the relevant third-party media cookie category, if required.
6. External Links to Third-Party Websites
The Website may include images, placement cards, posters, thumbnails, buttons, or text links that redirect users to third-party websites, such as YouTube, IMDb, official television show pages, broadcaster websites, production company websites, music platforms, or social media profiles.
These external links do not, by themselves, set cookies on this Website or allow those third-party websites to place cookies through this Website, unless third-party content is embedded or loaded directly on the page.
When users click an external link, they leave this Website and the third-party website may use its own cookies, tracking technologies, and privacy practices.
Users should review the privacy and cookie policies of the third-party websites they visit.
7. Third-Party Providers
The Website may use or link to third-party services. These providers may process data according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
Potential third-party providers include:
- ReelCrafter, if the embedded audio player or playlist is active;
- YouTube / Google, if YouTube videos are embedded in the future;
- IMDb, official broadcaster pages, television show websites, production company websites, music platforms, or social media platforms, if users click external links;
- hosting, deployment, domain, and infrastructure providers used to publish and maintain the Website.
Users should review the policies of third-party providers for more information about their processing activities, cookies, and opt-out options.
8. Managing Cookie Preferences
If the Website uses a cookie banner, users can accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies through the banner.
Users should be able to change or withdraw their consent at any time through a visible link, such as “Cookie Settings” or “Manage Cookie Preferences”, available on the Website.
Rejecting non-essential cookies should be as easy as accepting them.
9. Browser Controls
Most browsers allow users to:
- see which cookies are stored;
- delete cookies;
- block cookies;
- block third-party cookies;
- clear browsing data;
- configure cookie preferences for specific websites.
Disabling some cookies may affect the functionality or display of certain parts of the Website, especially embedded third-party media.
10. Updates to this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated if the Website changes, if new services are added, or if the technical setup is modified.
The updated version will be published on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
11. Current cookie and storage audit
The current Website does not knowingly install analytics, advertising, remarketing, profiling, or social-media tracking technologies.
