What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that visited websites send to the user’s browser, where they are stored and then sent back to the same sites on subsequent visits. Some cookies are essential for the site to function, while others are used for personalization, statistics or marketing purposes and require your prior consent.
Data Controller
SmartMedia S.r.l. — Via della Lucchina, 96, 00135 Rome (RM), Italy — VAT 08168931007 — informazioni@smartmediaworld.net. For full details on the processing of personal data, see the Privacy Policy.
How consent works on this site
On your first visit, you are shown a banner that lets you accept all cookies, reject the non-essential ones, or customize your choices by category. No cookie other than technical ones is installed before you make an explicit choice: third-party scripts and content (maps, videos) remain blocked until you enable the relevant category. Your choice is saved in a proprietary technical cookie (sm_consent) and remains valid for 6 months, after which you will be asked again. You can change it at any time by clicking “Cookie Preferences” in the site footer.
Technical cookies (always active)
Essential for the site to function. They do not require consent (art. 122 paragraph 1 of the Italian Privacy Code) and cannot be disabled.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
sm_consent | Stores the cookie consent preferences expressed by the user | 6 months |
wordpress_test_cookie | Checks whether the browser accepts cookies | Session |
Platform session cookies (e.g. wp-settings-*) | Necessary for the correct functioning of the site’s admin area | Session / 1 year |
Preference cookies
Allow the site to remember information that changes how it behaves or looks, such as your language or region. They require your consent and can be disabled at any time from the preferences panel.
Statistics cookies
Help us understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting information anonymously and in aggregate (e.g. Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity). They require your consent; they are loaded only after the “Statistics” category is accepted.
Marketing cookies and third-party content
Used to display third-party content (maps, videos) and, if activated in the future, to show you relevant advertising based on your interests (e.g. Meta Pixel). They require your consent; until you give it, you will see a box explaining this and a button to enable it instead of the content.

How to change or withdraw consent
You can change your mind at any time: click “Cookie Preferences” at the bottom of every page of the site to reopen the panel and change your choices category by category, or to fully withdraw consent already given.
