Information about cookies on Italy Wine Explorer
Last updated: May 1, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Italy Wine Explorer (“we”, “our”, or “us”) uses them on https://italywineexplorer.com/ (the “Website”), and how you can manage your preferences.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies can be:
We use cookies for essential functionality and, where you agree, for analytics (Google Analytics and Ahrefs Web Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it.
Where required by law (for example in the EU/EEA or UK), we use non-essential cookies such as analytics only after you consent via the cookie banner.
We store your choice (accept or decline) in your browser using localStorage under the key
cookiesAccepted so we do not ask you on every visit. This preference is not used to identify you personally
beyond what is described for analytics cookies below.
These are necessary for the Website to function and for security. They may include strictly necessary cookies set by our hosting or application stack, or similar technologies required to deliver pages and protect the site.
They help us:
Legal basis: legitimate interests / strictly necessary processing (as applicable).
Consent required: no (when genuinely strictly necessary).
If you click Accept on the cookie banner, we load Google Analytics 4 (Google tag /
gtag.js) with measurement ID G-876HJWGVRK and Ahrefs Web Analytics. Google may set
cookies (for example names starting with _ga) to distinguish visitors and remember session information.
These cookies help us collect aggregated information such as:
We use this information to improve content and performance. Google Analytics does not store your full IP address in the same form as raw access logs in all configurations; for details, see Google’s documentation for Google Analytics 4.
Providers: Google LLC and Ahrefs Pte. Ltd.
Legal basis: consent (where required).

We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies on this Website at this time. If that changes, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, ask for your consent before enabling such cookies.
Some cookies or similar technologies may be set by third parties when you use the Website — for example when loading map tiles, fonts, or libraries from external networks (such as MapTiler, Leaflet/CDN providers, or Google Fonts). We do not control those cookies directly. Please refer to the respective providers’ privacy and cookie notices.
When you first visit, you can Accept or Decline analytics cookies. If you decline,
we do not load analytics scripts on that browser. If you change your mind later, you can remove the saved choice by
clearing site data for this Website in your browser (including localStorage for
cookiesAccepted), then reload the page — the banner will appear again.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how the Website or map features work.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect legal or technical changes. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
