Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 12, 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and explains how KILO BYTE SERVICE SRL (“we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. Our website serves learners across Italy and supports course discovery, enrollment requests, and access to educational information. Cookies help us operate the site, measure usage in aggregate, and, with consent, run marketing that is relevant to our audience.
For the purpose of this policy, “cookies” also includes pixel tags, local storage, and identifiers written by scripts that perform a similar function. You can manage your preferences at any time via the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer, which opens our cookie banner and preference modal.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. On subsequent visits, the cookie allows the site to recognize your browser. Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting (first‑party) or by third parties (for example, analytics and advertising providers). Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a defined period).
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We organize cookies into three categories. Only Essential cookies are active by default. Analytics and Marketing cookies require your explicit consent and can be changed at any time using our preference controls.
- Essential (Strictly Necessary) — Required for core functionality such as page navigation, secure form submission, session continuity, and consent recording. These do not require consent.
- Analytics (Consent) — Help us understand aggregated traffic, popular pages, and general engagement so we can improve content and usability. Data is reported in aggregate with IP anonymization enabled when using analytics tools.
- Marketing (Consent) — Support advertising measurement and remarketing. These cookies help us show relevant ads and understand campaign effectiveness in a privacy‑respectful manner.
4. Detailed Cookie Table
The table below lists the primary cookies that may be used on this website. The exact set may change as we update our services and providers. Consent‑based categories are only activated after you choose to enable them in our preferences panel.
| Name | Purpose | Category | Type | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _site_session | Site session continuity and security context | Essential | First‑party | Session |
| cookie_consent | Stores your consent choices for categories | Essential | First‑party | 12 months |
| _ga | Analytics user identifier (GA4) | Analytics | Third‑party | 2 years |
| _ga_XXXXXXXXXX | Analytics session state (GA4 property) | Analytics | Third‑party | 2 years |

5. Consent and Control
Visitors in the EEA, including Italy, will see a consent banner on their first visit. Analytics and Marketing categories are off until you provide explicit consent. Your choice is stored in the cookie_consent cookie for 12 months. You can withdraw or modify consent at any time by selecting “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer, which reopens the preferences panel. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
6. Third‑Party Providers
Where enabled by your consent, we may work with providers such as Google (Analytics 4 and Google Ads) and Meta (Pixel and Conversions reporting). These partners receive limited information necessary to provide analytics and advertising measurement, such as cookie IDs, page events, and conversion metadata. We do not sell personal data. Providers are contractually restricted from using our site data for their own independent commercial purposes.
7. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. You can usually configure acceptance rules, clear stored cookies, and set controls per site. If you block Essential cookies, some parts of the website may not function correctly, including secure form submission and session continuity. For convenience, you can always change your on‑site preferences using our footer link without relying on browser‑level controls.
8. Retention
Essential session cookies expire when you close your browser, while the consent record typically lasts 12 months. Analytics identifiers (if enabled) may persist for up to 2 years, and marketing identifiers (if enabled) typically persist for up to 90 days. We periodically review our use of cookies and adjust retention to align with our operational needs and applicable laws in Italy and the EU.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our services or providers evolve. Material changes will be communicated by a notice on the website. The Last Updated date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
