Cookie Policy
Last updated: 08/09/2026
This page lists, honestly and completely, everything https://lucaprata.com/ stores in your browser. It is written under art. 122 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003, the Garante’s Guidelines on cookies of 10 June 2021, and articles 6 and 7 GDPR.
There are no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies and no third-party trackers on this Site. What follows is the whole list.
1. What a cookie is, and what else counts
A cookie is a small file a site asks your browser to keep and send back on the next request. The same rules cover anything that works like one: localStorage, sessionStorage, pixels, fingerprinting. Where this Site uses something other than a cookie, it is listed below all the same.
2. Strictly necessary — no consent required
These make the Site work. They cannot be switched off from here; a browser can block them, and then parts of the Site stop working.
| Name | Set by | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
langa_consent |
lucaprata.com | Remembers the choice you made in the cookie banner, so you are not asked on every page. | 6 months |
pll_language |
lucaprata.com | Remembers the language version of the Site to serve. The Site is published in English. | 12 months |
wordpress_*, wp-settings-* |
lucaprata.com | Session and preferences for a logged-in administrator. Never set for a visitor. | session to 12 months |
PHPSESSID |
lucaprata.com | Server session, where a page needs one. Deleted when the browser closes. | session |
3. Functional storage — not a cookie, kept on your device only
| Key | Where | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
lp-theme |
localStorage |
Remembers whether you chose the light or the dark version of the Site. | until you clear your browser storage |
This never leaves your device: it is not sent to the server and it identifies nothing.
4. Third parties that your browser contacts
4.1 Google Fonts
The Site loads its typefaces from Google Fonts. Your browser therefore requests files from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, and Google Ireland Ltd receives your IP address and the technical headers of that request.
No cookie is set by this. It is still a connection to a third party and a transfer of an IP address, which is why it is written here rather than left out. If you would rather it did not happen, blocking those two hosts in your browser prevents it and the Site stays usable, in a fallback typeface.
4.2 The payment page
When you pay, the payment page of easy Gateway (easy.langa.tv, operated by LANGA Corporation S.r.l.) opens inside this Site or as a full page. That page is a different site and sets its own strictly necessary cookies to hold your payment session, plus whatever the payment provider you choose — Stripe, PayPal, Satispay — needs for its own fraud checks. Those are governed by the notices of easy Gateway and of that provider, not by this page.
Nothing is set by the payment page until you actually start a payment.
4.3 Links out
The Site links to GitHub, X, LinkedIn, ORCID, Zenodo and langa.tv. Following a link puts you on someone else’s site, under their rules. Nothing of theirs runs on this one.
5. What is not here
- No Google Analytics, no Tag Manager, no Meta Pixel, no advertising network.
- No heatmaps, no session recording, no A/B testing tools.
- No social plugins, embedded feeds or share buttons that load third-party code.
- No fingerprinting, and no profiling of visitors of any kind.
If any of that ever changes, this page changes first and consent is asked before it runs.
6. Managing your choice
The banner appears on your first visit. Accept, Deny or open the preferences to choose by category. Since the Site currently uses only strictly necessary and functional storage, denying costs you nothing but the remembered theme.
You can change your mind at any time here: Manage cookie preferences
You can also delete cookies from your browser directly. The instructions are with the browser makers:
Chrome ·
Firefox ·
Safari ·
Edge.
Blocking everything, including strictly necessary cookies, will stop the Site from remembering your consent choice, so the banner will come back on every visit.
7. Who to write to
The controller for anything on this page is set out in the Privacy Policy. Write to info@lucaprata.com.
8. Changes
This page is updated whenever what the Site stores changes. The date at the top is the date of the current version.
