Data collected and purposes

This site collects data in a limited way, through the following tools:

Cloudflare (hosting and CDN)

This site is hosted on Cloudflare Workers (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). Cloudflare automatically processes connection data — IP address, HTTP headers, browser, operating system — to deliver the service, ensure security, and protect against abuse.

This data is processed by Cloudflare as a data processor under the Data Processing Agreement. Transfers to the USA are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Google Analytics 4 (via Cloudflare Zaraz)

This site uses Google Analytics 4 for aggregate statistical analysis of traffic. GA4 is integrated via Cloudflare Zaraz, a server-side loading system that acts as an intermediary between the visitor's browser and Google.

Thanks to Zaraz, the browser never connects directly to Google's servers: Cloudflare sends the analytics data after anonymising the IP address. Google (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) receives aggregated data with no direct identifiers.

Data is used solely to understand which content is most read and how the site is navigated, with no advertising purpose whatsoever. Transfers to the USA are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the DPA with Google.

PostHog (product analytics)

This site uses PostHog to collect anonymous navigation events (pages visited, links clicked). PostHog may use technical cookies (ph_*) and localStorage to distinguish sessions. Data is not shared with third parties or used for profiling.

Theme preference (localStorage)

The light/dark preference is saved in the browser's localStorage. It is not a cookie, is never transmitted to any server, and contains no personal data.

Legal basis for processing

  • Cloudflare: legitimate interest (service delivery, security)
  • Google Analytics 4: legitimate interest (aggregate anonymised statistics, with IP anonymised by Zaraz)
  • PostHog: legitimate interest (site improvement, anonymous data)

Data retention

Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 14 months in Google Analytics and according to project settings in PostHog. Cloudflare logs are typically retained for a few days.

Your rights

Under EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), you have the right to:

  • access your personal data
  • request rectification or erasure
  • object to processing
  • request restriction of processing
  • request data portability
  • lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (garanteprivacy.it)
