Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you browse them. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and provide information to the site owners.
2. Does This Website Use Cookies?
No first-party cookies are set by Antiquity Illustrated. Our static website does not install any of its own cookies on your device.
We do not use:
- Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Tracking cookies or pixels (e.g., Facebook Pixel)
- Profiling cookies for advertising purposes
- Session cookies to track your navigation
3. Third-Party Cookies (Embedded YouTube Videos)
Our website contains links to YouTube videos. The YouTube platform is operated by Google LLC. When you click a link to watch a video, you leave our site and are directed to YouTube’s website. At that point, YouTube may set its own cookies on your browser in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy.
Important note: We do not embed YouTube videos directly on our pages. We only provide clickable links. Therefore, no YouTube cookies are loaded until you voluntarily leave our site and visit YouTube. For this reason, this website does not require a cookie consent banner under Italian law, as we install no cookies ourselves. The necessary information about cookies is provided in this policy to ensure full transparency.
4. Managing Cookies
Since we do not set any first-party cookies, you do not need to manage any cookie settings on our site. For third-party cookies set by YouTube after you leave our site, you can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies from any website. Most browsers allow you to:
- See what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block all cookies from being set
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
You can find instructions for managing cookies in your browser’s “Help” section or through the following links:
5. Legal Basis
Under Italian law (Article 122 of the Privacy Code and GDPR), technical cookies that are strictly necessary for website functionality do not require prior consent, only an information notice. Since this site uses zero cookies, no consent is required. Nevertheless, we provide this Cookie Policy to comply with the principle of transparency and good faith. As stated by the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante), the prior consent of the user is not required for technical cookies; for profiling cookies consent is mandatory; this website uses none of either type.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “last updated” date.
