Cookie Policy for audioforensicexpert.eu

Information on the use of cookies and other storage or tracking technologies

This Cookie Policy describes the declared configuration of the public pages of audioforensicexpert.eu and supplements the Privacy Policy. Technical logs generated by the server or security systems are not cookies and are governed by the Privacy Policy.

Last updated: 22 August 2026

1. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on or read from a user’s device. They can be used, for example, to provide a technical function, remember a choice, measure website use or create profiles.

The same rules may also apply to other technologies that read or store information on the user’s device, such as local storage, pixels, online identifiers and fingerprinting techniques. Classification depends primarily on the actual purpose: strictly necessary technical use, or non-essential use such as analytics not treated as technical, profiling or advertising.

2. Currently Declared Configuration

As of the date shown above, the Controller declares that ordinary browsing of the public pages of audioforensicexpert.eu does not intentionally use:

profiling or marketing cookies;
analytics cookies or statistical systems based on visitor identifiers;
advertising or conversion pixels;
device fingerprinting;
local storage or session storage for tracking purposes;
maps, videos, social posts or other third-party embedded content that loads automatically;
public user accounts, comments, newsletters or direct file-upload forms on the website.

Under this declared configuration, a consent banner is not displayed because no non-essential technologies requiring prior user choice are declared. The absence of a banner remains appropriate only while the actual technical configuration matches what is stated on this page.

3. Inventory of Technologies

Category	Declared status on public pages	Consent
Strictly necessary technical cookies	No cookies are declared for ordinary public browsing. Re-check after changes to WordPress, theme, plugins, hosting, cache or security systems.	Consent is not required where the cookie is genuinely necessary; transparent information remains required.
Analytics cookies	Not used.	Not applicable under the declared configuration.
Profiling or marketing cookies	Not used.	Not applicable under the declared configuration.
Advertising pixels or conversion tools	Not used.	Not applicable under the declared configuration.
Local storage, session storage and fingerprinting	Not used for visitor storage or tracking.	Not applicable under the declared configuration.
Embedded third-party content	Not loaded automatically.	Not applicable while these remain simple external links.

Cookies that may be used in the WordPress administration area, which is reserved for site management and not intended for visitors, do not describe ordinary browsing of the public pages.

4. Technical Logs and Network Data

Hosting, server, firewall or security systems may generate technical logs such as IP address, date and time, requested URL, user agent and response status. These data are not automatically cookies and are not stored on the user’s device by this page.

The purposes, legal bases, recipients and retention criteria for technical data are described in the Privacy Policy.

5. Links to WhatsApp and Other Websites

The website contains links to WhatsApp, institutional sources, technical documents and other domains. A simple external link does not automatically embed the third-party service into the page. When the user selects the link, they leave audioforensicexpert.eu and access the third party’s website or application, which may use cookies or other technologies under its own privacy notice.

In particular, use of WhatsApp is subject to the WhatsApp Privacy Policy and Terms. audioforensicexpert.eu does not control cookies set by the service after the user opens the relevant domain or application.

6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Users can inspect, delete or block cookies through their browser settings. A blanket block on technical cookies may affect the operation of other websites or services even where audioforensicexpert.eu does not use such cookies during ordinary public browsing.

The available controls vary by browser and device. For current instructions, consult the official help documentation for the browser being used.

7. Future Changes and Activation of New Technologies

Before enabling analytics, maps, embedded videos, social widgets, advertising tools or other non-essential technologies, the Controller will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, prevent the relevant technology from loading until valid consent has been obtained.

Any consent system should allow a free and specific choice, provide equivalent options to accept or reject non-essential technologies, retain evidence of the choice and allow that choice to be changed or withdrawn easily.

This Cookie Policy should also be reviewed when the theme, plugins, hosting, security systems, external services or resource-loading methods change.

8. Legal References

The use of cookies and similar technologies is governed, among other rules, by Article 122 of the Italian Personal Data Protection Code, the ePrivacy Directive and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 where the processing concerns personal data.

For the Italian regulatory framework, a key operational reference is the Italian Data Protection Authority guidance on cookies and other tracking technologies.
