Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies GridTechInsider uses, why, and how you can control them.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage — these are referred to collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
2. Cookie Categories
3. TCF v2.2 (IAB Transparency & Consent Framework)
GridTechInsider implements the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework version 2.2 (TCF v2.2) for third-party vendor consent management. When you interact with the cookie banner, your consent choices are encoded in a TC String that is shared with participating vendors (primarily Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager) to ensure downstream compliance.
Key TCF v2.2 purposes we rely on:
- Purpose 1: Store and/or access information on a device (Consent)
- Purpose 2: Select basic ads (Legitimate Interests — you may object)
- Purpose 3: Create a personalised ads profile (Consent)
- Purpose 4: Select personalised ads (Consent)
- Purpose 7: Measure ad performance (Consent)
- Purpose 8: Measure content performance (Consent)
- Purpose 10: Develop and improve products (Consent)
You can withdraw or modify consent at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the site footer.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services appearing on our pages. We do not control these third-party cookies. The main third parties are:
- Google LLC — Analytics 4, AdSense, Fonts. Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
- YouTube (if embedded videos are present) — Sets cookies when video players are loaded. Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

6. Cookie Consent Mechanism
On your first visit to idrogenocasa.it, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You have three choices:
- Accept All: Enables all cookie categories (necessary, analytics, advertising, functional).
- Reject: Only strictly necessary cookies are set. No analytics or advertising cookies are activated.
- Manage Preferences: Choose which categories of cookies you accept.
Your preference is stored in localStorage under the key grid_consent for 365 days. You can change your preference at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer.
7. Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. GridTechInsider does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for what websites should do when they receive these signals. We rely on our cookie consent mechanism instead.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
