The website uses statistical analysis tools, including Google Analytics, to understand how users interact with the website and to improve the content, structure and functionality of its pages.
Where statistical tools are configured in such a way as not to allow direct identification of the user and are considered equivalent to technical cookies under the applicable legislation, processing may take place without consent.
Where, on the other hand, analytics tools involve non-technical tracking, profiling or processing by third parties that is not fully anonymised, processing must take place with the user’s prior consent, in accordance with the methods required by the applicable legislation.

These services may involve the processing of personal data by their respective providers, according to the methods described in their own privacy policies.
Legal basis: user consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, where required by the applicable legislation; legitimate interest of the Data Controller in ensuring the proper functioning and better usability of the website, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, only where the processing is strictly necessary and does not involve non-technical tracking.

The data sent through the form is not stored in the website database, but is sent exclusively by e-mail to the company addresses responsible for managing requests.
The provision of the data requested in the form is necessary in order to submit the request and receive a response. Failure to provide the mandatory data will make it impossible to use the contact form correctly.
The data will be retained for the time necessary to respond to the request and manage any subsequent communications. Where the request leads to a commercial relationship, the data may be retained for the periods required by the applicable tax, accounting and civil law regulations.
5. Cookies, tracking tools and third-party services
The website www.damien.it may use cookies and similar tools to ensure the proper functioning of the pages, improve the browsing experience, collect statistics on the use of the website and integrate content or services provided by third parties.
5.1 Technical cookies
The website may use technical cookies necessary for the proper functioning of the pages, browsing security and the provision of the services requested.
These cookies do not require the user’s consent, as they are necessary for the operation of the website.
5.2 Google Analytics
The website uses Google Analytics, a statistical analysis service provided by Google, which allows information to be collected on the use of the website by users, such as pages visited, session duration, device used, approximate geographical origin and methods of interaction with the content.
Google Analytics is used for statistical and website improvement purposes.
The service may involve the processing of data by Google and the use of cookies or similar technologies. Where Google Analytics is not configured in a fully anonymised manner and cannot be considered equivalent to a technical cookie, such processing requires the user’s prior consent.
5.3 Google Tag Manager
The website uses Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google that allows scripts, tags and monitoring tools on the website to be managed centrally.
Google Tag Manager does not, in itself, create user profiles, but it allows the activation of other tools that may involve the processing of personal data or the installation of cookies. Such tools must be managed in compliance with the user’s privacy preferences and with the applicable legislation.
5.4 Google Fonts
The website uses Google Fonts to display typefaces and ensure the correct graphic appearance of the pages.
When fonts are loaded from Google servers, the user’s browser may establish a connection with Google servers, with the possible transmission of technical data, including the user’s IP address and information relating to the browser used.
Where technically possible, the Data Controller recommends hosting fonts locally on its own server, in order to reduce or avoid automatic communication of data to third parties.
5.5 YouTube
The website may embed videos from YouTube, a platform provided by Google.
Viewing YouTube content may involve connection to Google servers and the processing of data relating to the user’s browsing, including through cookies or similar technologies.
Embedded videos are preferably configured in enhanced privacy mode, where available. Where YouTube content involves the installation of non-technical cookies or tracking activities, its activation requires the user’s prior consent.
5.6 Cookie management
Users may also manage or disable cookies through their browser settings.
Disabling technical cookies may affect the proper functioning of the website or some of its features.
For further information on the cookies used, their purposes, retention periods and the third parties involved, please refer to the website’s Cookie Policy, where available.
