title: "Cookie policy" description: "Which cookies we use, which are optional, and how to change your mind at any time." updated: 2026-09-21
This policy supplements the privacy policy and covers cookies and similar technologies used on affittostudentipavia.com, under Article 122 of the Italian Privacy Code and the Italian DPA guidelines of 10 June 2021.
In short
We use few cookies and none of them profile you for advertising. Technical cookies are essential and do not require consent. Statistics tools are loaded only if you consent through the banner, and you can withdraw that consent whenever you like.
What cookies are
They are small text files a site stores on your device. They remember things between pages: that you are signed in, which language you prefer, that you already answered the banner.
The same category covers technologies using browser storage (localStorage, sessionStorage) for similar purposes.
Technical cookies — always on
These make the site work. Without them you could not sign in or keep your choices. They do not require consent.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
sb-*-auth-token | Keeps the session of a signed-in user | 1 year |
NEXT_LOCALE | Remembers whether you prefer Italian or English | 1 year |
cookie-consent | Records your banner choice so we do not ask again every visit | 6 months |
__cf_bm, cf_clearance | Anti-bot protection on forms, set by Cloudflare | 30 minutes to 1 year |
Statistics — only with your consent
These help us understand which pages are useful and which are not. They load only after you press "Accept" on the statistics section of the banner.
We use tools configured not to track people across different sites and not to build individual profiles: IP addresses are not stored in clear and there is no connection to advertising networks.
| Tool | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Usage statistics | Aggregate count of visits and page views | up to 24 months |
If you do not consent, these tools are not loaded at all: it is not that they load and collect nothing, they simply never start.
What we do not do
- No advertising or profiling cookies.
- No social network pixels.
- No sharing of data with advertising networks.
- No cookie wall: if you decline, the site works exactly as before.
Changing your choices
You can change your consent at any time from the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of every page. Withdrawal takes effect immediately.
You can also manage or delete cookies from your browser settings. Note that deleting the cookie-consent cookie brings the banner back, and that blocking all technical cookies will stop you staying signed in.
Instructions for the main browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge.
Third-party content
Some pages show external content, for example OpenStreetMap maps or Instagram posts. When you load them, the provider may receive your IP address. Maps load only on the pages that need them, and only when you scroll to them.
