How we use cookies (and how we don't).

This site installs no tracking, advertising or analytics cookies of its own. The only third-party integration is the Google Map on the Contact page (see below).

Cookies are small text files saved by your browser on your device. They can be used to remember preferences, track browsing behaviour or show personalised advertising. Not all cookies serve the same purpose.

The site does not use its own session cookies. The only form of local storage used is described in the next section.

When you select a language using the footer language switcher, the site saves a key named «sgh-lang» in your browser's localStorage with the chosen language code (e.g. «it», «en»). This value:

• lives only in your browser;

• is never sent to any server;

• does not constitute a cookie under applicable law;

• can be removed at any time by clearing site data in your browser settings.

The site embeds no social widgets or video players. The only exception is the Google Map on the Contact page, which on load may set Google LLC cookies (see the dedicated section).

The Contact page embeds a Google Map that loads automatically when the page opens. From that point your browser connects to Google LLC's servers, which may set cookies and receive browsing data (including your IP address). Google LLC's privacy policy and cookie policy apply.

If an analytics system is introduced in the future, we will use a cookieless service (e.g. Fathom, Plausible or equivalent) that does not install cookies and requires no consent banner. This policy will be updated before any such change.

Every modern browser lets you view, delete and block cookies and locally stored data. Official guides:

• Chrome: Settings › Privacy and security › Cookies

• Firefox: Preferences › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data

• Safari: Preferences › Privacy › Manage Website Data

• Edge: Settings › Privacy, search and services
