Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit it. They are used to make the site work, to remember your choices, or to collect statistics about how the site is used. Some cookies are set by the site you are visiting (“first-party”), others by external services (“third-party”).
This website, defensio.technology, is operated by Fidem S.r.l., Via Don G. B. Tessari 14/A, 37030 Lavagno (VR), Italy — VAT IT04438280234. Fidem® and Defensio® are registered trademarks of Fidem S.r.l.
This cookie policy explains which cookies and similar tools this site uses. The processing of personal data is governed by the privacy policy of Fidem S.r.l., available at fidemcybersecurity.com/privacy-policy, which this document complements. You may exercise your rights under Articles 15–21 GDPR and lodge a complaint with the Italian supervisory authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) as described in the privacy policy linked above.
This site uses only the items listed below. It does not use marketing or advertising cookies, profiling cookies, or social-media embeds that set cookies.
A first-party, strictly necessary cookie that records your consent choices per category (functional, analytics, marketing — acceptance or refusal). The banner offers the standard categories; at present only the analytics category is used by this site. It is set only when you make a choice in the banner and lasts 365 days. Because it is strictly necessary, it does not require consent.
The site uses Google Analytics 4 to produce aggregate statistics about how the site is used. It runs under Google Consent Mode v2 with all storage denied by default: the Google tag (gtag.js, Google Tag ID GT-KFGFPS3L, measurement ID G-4GD695LEDP) loads but sets no cookies and stores no identifiers until you grant consent through the banner. Before consent, the tag may send Google aggregate, cookieless signals that contain no identifiers. If you consent, Google Analytics sets the first-party cookies _ga and _ga_* for up to 2 years (Google’s default). Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses; for EU traffic they are used only transiently to derive coarse location and then discarded. The provider is Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC; data may be transferred to the United States under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, to which Google LLC is certified.
The site also collects aggregate visit statistics server-side through WP Statistics. This tool sets no cookies and uses no localStorage; IP addresses are stored only in hashed form, and no user-agent is stored. Since no identifier is stored on your device, no consent is required; it is listed here for transparency.
On your first visit, a cookie banner lets you accept all, reject all, or set your preferences per category. Nothing non-essential is set before you decide: until you give consent, analytics remains disabled (denied by default under Consent Mode v2), and the only cookie stored is the technical consent cookie, once you have made a choice. Your choice is kept for 365 days in the cookieadmin_consent cookie.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time:
Withdrawing consent stops Google Analytics: consent mode returns to “denied” and no further analytics cookies or identifiers are set.
You can also manage or delete cookies directly in your browser: block them, delete existing ones, or set per-site preferences. Instructions are available in each browser’s help section. Note that blocking the technical cookie may prevent the site from remembering your consent choice.
For details on how Google processes the data collected through Google Analytics, see Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
We may update this cookie policy when the tools used by the site change or when the legal framework evolves (the EU GDPR and ePrivacy rules, and the Italian Data Protection Authority’s cookie guidelines of 10 June 2021). The current version is always published on this page. If we introduce new non-technical cookies or new providers, the consent banner will be shown again so you can make a fresh choice.
Effective date: 31 July 2026.
This policy is published in English with a courtesy Italian translation. In case of any discrepancy between the two versions, the English text prevails.
