Cookies are small text files that the websites visited send to the user’s device, where they are stored to be retransmitted to those sites on subsequent visits. Equivalent to cookies are other tracking technologies such as pixels, web beacons and device identifiers. This Cookie Policy also applies to such technologies.
On the website www.portasicilia.com we use the following categories of cookies:
They are necessary for the operation of the Site and do not require the user’s consent under Article 122 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003.

They improve user experience by storing preferences such as selected language, region and other display settings. They are installed only with the user’s consent.
They allow aggregated information about the use of the Site (pages visited, duration, traffic sources) to be collected in order to improve its functionality. We use Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC). They are installed only with consent; the IP is anonymised and advertising parameters are obfuscated via Google Consent Mode v2 with ads_data_redaction enabled.
They are used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and display personalised content. The Platform currently does not use advertising profiling cookies; should any be activated in the future, explicit consent will be requested through the CMP and this notice will be updated.
Cookies and tracking technologies may also be installed by third parties, acting as independent data controllers. The full list of activated services and related cookies is available in the "Cookie settings" panel of the CMP. Main providers:
