Cookie Policy

Pursuant to Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy) and EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) — Last updated: May 2026

What are cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on the user's device by websites. Similar technologies include Web Storage (localStorage and sessionStorage), which works similarly but without automatic expiry and without being automatically sent to the server with each HTTP request.

Technologies used by this website

The website studiokarishma.it does not use HTTP cookies of any kind. The only local storage technology used is localStorage, solely to remember the user's preferred language between visits.

Name	Technology	Purpose	Type	Duration	Third party
preferredLang	localStorage	Stores the user's preferred language (it / en / pt) to maintain the selection across visits.	Technical – Essential	Persistent (until manually deleted)	No
karishma_cookie_consent	localStorage	Records that the user has acknowledged the cookie information banner, to avoid showing it on every visit.	Technical – Essential	Persistent (until manually deleted)	No
accessibilityPrefs	localStorage	Stores the user's chosen accessibility preferences (high contrast, large text, dyslexia-friendly font, reduced motion) to maintain them across visits.	Technical – Essential	Persistent (until manually deleted)	No

Third-party cookies

The website does not embed widgets, iframes, or external scripts that could set third-party cookies during normal browsing. The map in the Contact section is a self-hosted static image that does not transmit any data to third parties. Links on the site (WhatsApp, Google Maps, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Treatwell) lead to external websites: any cookies set by those sites are the exclusive responsibility of their respective data controllers, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Note on font loading: This website uses Google Fonts to display typeface files. When the user's browser downloads font files from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, the user's IP address is processed by Google LLC (headquartered in the USA, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework). For further details, please refer to the Privacy Policy.

Legal basis and consent

The three localStorage entries listed above are classified as technically essential, as they are strictly necessary for the website to function as requested by the user (language switching, not repeating the information banner, and maintaining accessibility preferences). Under the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante) Cookie Guidelines of 10 July 2021 (in force from 9 January 2022, Provision no. 231) and the EDPB Guidelines 05/2020 on consent, essential technical storage technologies strictly necessary for the website to function do not require prior user consent.

How to delete or manage localStorage

Users can delete localStorage data at any time by following the instructions below for their browser or mobile device.

• Chrome / Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → select “Cookies and other site data”
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
