Plain-language detail on the cookies and trackers we use — and the controls we give you, on every device.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, to keep you signed in, to measure how the site is used, or to deliver third-party features such as embedded calendars and videos.
Alongside cookies, modern sites use related technologies — local storage, session storage and pixel beacons — which we treat as equivalent for the purpose of this policy.
This site applies the strict-opt-in model required by the Italian Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali — specifically the “Linee guida cookie e altri strumenti di tracciamento” of 10 June 2021 — and the equivalent expectations of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) of the United Arab Emirates.
Strictly necessary technologies operate without consent. Every other category — analytics, marketing, third-party embeds — is loaded only after you give explicit, informed, unambiguous consent (GDPR Art. 7; UAE PDPL Art. 6). Continued scrolling, hovering or the mere closing of the banner is not, and will not be treated as, consent.
Necessary (always on; cannot be turned off): kyma-cookie-consent — a localStorage entry that records your consent choice for up to 12 months so the banner does not reappear on every page view; NEXT_LOCALE — a first-party cookie that remembers your preferred language (EN, IT or AR) for up to 12 months. Neither is shared with any third party.
Analytics (opt-in): Vercel Web Analytics — first-party, cookieless tracking implemented through anonymous fetch beacons. It collects the page path, the referrer, an approximate country derived from the IP address and the device class. No personal data is shared with any third party and no cross-site profile is built.
Marketing and third-party embeds (opt-in): the Cal.com booking iframe — loaded only when you click “Open calendar” AND have given consent. Once loaded, Cal.com may set its own session cookies on the cal.com domain to operate the booking widget; those cookies are governed by Cal.com’s own privacy notice at https://cal.com/privacy.
When you first visit the site you are presented with a banner offering a clear binary choice — “Accept” or “Decline” — both on equal visual footing, as required by the Garante.
You can change your mind at any time through the persistent “Cookie preferences” link in the footer, which is available on every page. Clearing your browser’s localStorage for kymatalk.com also resets the choice and re-shows the banner on the next visit.
Under GDPR Art. 7 and UAE PDPL Art. 6, withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it. Selecting “Decline” in the preferences panel immediately stops the loading of non-essential trackers and removes those already set, where technically possible.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.
The only third-party domain involved on this site is cal.com, and only after you actively open the booking widget AND have given consent. Cal.com may set its own session and preference cookies on the cal.com domain. Those cookies, and the personal data Cal.com collects, are governed by the Cal.com Privacy Policy available at https://cal.com/privacy.
We do not embed Google Analytics, Meta pixels, TikTok pixels, LinkedIn Insight Tag or any advertising network on this site.
All modern browsers also let you block or delete cookies directly. Brief pointers: Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Safari — Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
Please note that disabling strictly necessary technologies may prevent the language selector from remembering your choice and will cause the cookie banner to reappear on each visit.
