This site has no cookies
siami.profblu.com sets no cookies and carries no advertising pixels. It stores these things, and none of them is a cookie:
| What is stored | Why | How long | Does it need your permission? |
|---|---|---|---|
| A one-time value that completes your sign-in and is deleted as soon as it finishes | to let you sign in with your account | in your browser, only while the tab is open; in practice, the seconds it takes to sign in | No, it is essential for this to work |
| What keeps you signed in without typing your password again, if you have an account | not asking for your password on every page | in your browser, only while the tab is open; it also stops working when you sign out | No, it is essential for this to work |
| The language you chose | showing you the site in that language next time | in your browser, until you delete it | No, it is essential for this to work |
| The country you chose on the home page | showing you that country again next time | in your browser, until you delete it | No, it is essential for this to work |
| Your last location, rounded to a few kilometres, only if you allowed your browser to use your location | opening the site near you without waiting for the browser to locate you again | in your browser, until you delete it; it updates when you move | No other one is needed: without your browser's location permission nothing is stored |
| That you chose «Everywhere» or a place in «Where you're looking from» | not putting «Near me» back on you while you browse | in your browser, only while the tab is open | No, it is essential for this to work |
If you sign in, the sign-in page also sets a session cookie of the central sign-in (prosecco_sso), read only by the server: it avoids asking for your password again for a few hours, lasts 12 hours or until you sign out, and needs no permission because it is essential to sign in.
What lets you request each page once signed in is not stored anywhere: it lives only in the browser's memory while the tab is open, and disappears if you reload the page or sign out.
What is loaded from elsewhere
Nothing. Fonts, images and code are served from this same site. Maps are links: another company's map only opens if you tap the link, and from then on its own cookies apply. The same goes for the websites of schools, shops and events, and for each person's social accounts.
Visit measurement
We count visits with a program called Umami, which runs on our own server. It leaves no cookie or identifier in your browser. From your IP and browser it computes a visit identifier that changes every month —the IP is not stored— and records which pages were seen, which site you came from, the type of browser and device, the language and the approximate country and city. We use it only for totals: how many people arrive, from where and what they look at.
There is no Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager on the Siami website.
Why we do not ask for consent
Everything above is strictly necessary to provide a service you asked for: signing in if you have an account, remembering your language and where you look from, opening the site near you if you already allowed your browser to use your location, or measuring visits without cookies or identifiers. This is exactly what Article 122 of the Italian Privacy Code and Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC exempt.
How to delete them
From your browser settings, like any other local data. Keep in mind that if you delete what keeps you signed in, you will have to sign in again.
