Cookie policy
Last updated: 4 November 2026
This English version is provided for information only. In case of any discrepancy, the Italian version prevails.
This page explains which cookies are used by www.kmarchitect.eu. It is drawn up under Article 122 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003 (“Privacy Code”), as amended by Legislative Decree 101/2018, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and the Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools issued by the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) on 10 June 2021.
In short: the site uses technical cookies only. No profiling cookies, no analytics tools, no third-party content. This is why no consent banner is shown.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on the visitor’s device and reads again on later visits. Similar tools, such as the browser’s local storage, follow the same rules.
The Authority’s Guidelines distinguish two main families:
- technical cookies: needed for the site to work or to provide a service requested by the user. They do not require consent, only information;
- profiling cookies and other tracking tools: used to follow the user’s behaviour, for example for targeted advertising. They require prior, free and informed consent.
2. Cookies used by this site
At most, the site uses the following first-party technical cookies, that is, cookies set directly by the site:
| Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session and security cookies | Ensuring that the site works correctly and protecting it from abuse (for example WordPress technical cookies) | Session, or in any case short |
| Language preference cookie | Remembering the language chosen by the user (Italian, English or Albanian) | Not used: the language is shown in the page address (/en/, /sq/), so no cookie is stored |
Ordinary visitors receive no cookies. WordPress technical cookies (for example wordpress_logged_in_ and wordpress_sec_) are set only for those who log in to the private area of the site. Anyone who opens the login page of the private area also receives wordpress_test_cookie (checks that the browser accepts cookies, lasts until the browser is closed) and llar_login_flow (protection against repeated login attempts, lasts 24 hours). These are technical cookies and do not require consent.
The site does not use:
- profiling or advertising cookies;
- analytics tools such as Google Analytics;
- embedded third-party content that sets cookies, such as videos, maps, buttons or social media feeds;
- fonts loaded from external services: the site’s font is hosted on the same server, with no connection to services such as Google Fonts.
The links to Instagram and LinkedIn are simple links. These services may use their own cookies only after the user has left the site to visit them, according to their own policies.
3. Why there is no cookie banner
Under Article 122 of the Privacy Code and the Authority’s Guidelines of 10 June 2021, consent, and therefore a banner, is required only for cookies and tracking tools other than technical ones. For technical cookies it is enough to inform the user, as this page does.
Since this site uses technical cookies only, a banner is not necessary.
If tools requiring consent are introduced in the future, for example non-anonymous statistics or third-party content, the site will display a banner compliant with the Guidelines: allowing users to accept or refuse with equal ease and with no option pre-selected. This page will be updated accordingly.
4. How to manage cookies in the browser
Every browser lets users view, block or delete cookies in its settings, usually under “Privacy” or “Security”. Blocking technical cookies may prevent some parts of the site from working correctly.
5. Data controller and rights
The data controller is Arch. Klodian Mana, VAT no. (P.IVA) 04180180988, who can be contacted at km@kmarchitect.eu or at the PEC address mana.klodian@archiworldpec.it.
