The Data Controller acts through Dr. Fabio Cozzolino as the person responsible for managing the website and the contacts received through it.

2. Types of data processed

The website may process the following personal data:

  • identification and contact data voluntarily provided by the user through the contact form, such as name, surname, email address, telephone number, and message content;
  • technical browsing data, such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, date and time of the visit, pages visited, and other data automatically transmitted by information systems;
  • statistical data collected through traffic analysis tools such as Google Analytics, where consent is required;
  • data connected to the interaction with third-party content or services embedded in the website, such as Google Maps.

3. Purposes of processing

Personal data are processed for the following purposes:

  • to ensure proper browsing and technical operation of the website;
  • to respond to requests sent by users through the contact form or contact details available on the website;
  • to analyse website usage in aggregated form in order to improve content, structure, and performance;
  • to display external content, such as interactive maps, useful for locating the physical office or getting directions;
  • to comply with legal obligations or protect the rights of the Data Controller.

4. Legal basis for processing

Depending on the circumstances, processing is based on:

  • the performance of pre-contractual measures or the user’s request, when the user contacts the Data Controller through the website;
  • the user’s consent, for the use of analytics cookies and the loading of third-party content subject to consent;
  • the Data Controller’s legitimate interest in website security, abuse prevention, and technical management of the web infrastructure, within the limits permitted by law;
  • compliance with legal obligations, where applicable.

5. Processing methods

Data are processed using manual and electronic tools, strictly in line with the purposes set out above, and appropriate security measures are adopted to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal data.

6. Provision of data

Providing data through the contact form is optional, but necessary for the Data Controller to respond to the user’s request; failure to provide the requested data may make it impossible to handle the request.

Providing data for statistical purposes or for the loading of third-party tools depends on the choices expressed by the user through the cookie banner or the consent management system adopted on the website.

7. Recipients of the data

Personal data may be processed by entities providing services necessary for the operation of the website, such as hosting providers, technical support, maintenance, analytics services, and integrated third-party services.

In particular, the website is hosted by Serverplan, which may process technical data necessary for the service delivery.

Such entities act, as appropriate, as processors, authorised persons, or independent controllers.

8. Transfers outside the EEA

The use of third-party services, including Google Analytics and Google Maps, may involve the transfer of data to countries outside the European Economic Area, including the United States, in accordance with the terms and notices provided by the respective service providers.

9. Retention period

Data submitted through the contact form are kept for the time strictly necessary to handle the user’s request and, thereafter, for a period not exceeding 24 months, unless legal obligations or the need to protect the Data Controller’s rights require a longer retention period.

Data collected through statistical tools are retained according to the settings configured in the relevant services, within the limits established by the provider and the configuration adopted by the Data Controller.

10. Data subject rights

The data subject may exercise at any time the rights provided under Articles 15 et seq. of the GDPR, including the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection, withdrawal of consent, data portability where applicable, and the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority.

To exercise these rights, please write to: studiodentisticocozzolino@gmail.com.

11. Cookies and tracking tools

The website may use technical cookies, analytics cookies, and third-party technologies. Cookies are small text files that visited websites send to the user’s device to improve browsing experience, enable certain functions, or collect statistical information.

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are necessary for the proper operation of the website and usually do not require the user’s prior consent.

Analytics cookies

The website may use Google Analytics to collect statistical information about website usage, such as number of visitors, pages viewed, visit duration, and user interaction with content.

Google states that Google Analytics uses cookies such as _ga, which is used to distinguish visitors and may last up to 2 years; other identifiers may be used depending on the service configuration.

Such cookies should be activated only after the user has given consent through a dedicated banner or consent management tool, with the possibility to accept, reject, or customise preferences.

Google Maps

The website may integrate a Google Maps map to show the practice’s physical location and help users find directions.

Interaction with Google Maps may involve the processing of technical data and the installation of cookies or similar technologies by Google; for greater caution, the map should be loaded only after consent or a voluntary action by the user, if technically implemented that way on the website.

Google Search Console

The website may use Google Search Console as a technical tool to monitor site performance in search results; this service is normally intended for the website operator and does not, by itself, constitute a user-side profiling cookie like Google Analytics, but it may be mentioned among the tools used to manage and optimise the website.

12. Cookie and consent management

On first access, the user should see a banner allowing them to:

  • accept all cookies;
  • reject non-essential cookies;
  • select or modify preferences in a granular way.

The user must be able to change or withdraw cookie preferences at any time through the dedicated link or control available on the website.

The user may also manage cookies through browser settings, although disabling technical cookies may affect website functionality.

13. Useful links to third-party services
