Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-11-07
This page lists every cookie that drivingfreedom.it sets or lets other services set, what each one is for and how long it stays in your browser.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. “First-party” cookies belong to the site you are on (drivingfreedom.it); “third-party” cookies belong to another company’s domain.
Cookies that make the site work and remember your choices

When you use “Sign in with Google” on the account page, Google’s sign-in window runs on Google’s own domain and may use Google’s cookies there; see Google’s privacy policy.

Measuring how the site is used (analytics)
We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand which pages are used and where they do not work well. They are set by our pages but belong to Google and Microsoft, who process the data under their own terms.

How long: MR 7 days, SM until you close the browser, ANONCHK 10 minutes
Since 31 October 2025, Microsoft does not set Clarity’s cookies for visits from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland unless the site sends a consent signal. This site does not send one, so for these visits Clarity works without cookies and gives each page view a new ID; it still records how the page is used (clicks, scrolling, mouse movement) for session replays. Error monitoring with PostHog is installed but switched off; if we switch it on, it sets one first-party cookie, ph_<project>_posthog, for 1 year.
How to control cookies
You can see, block and delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the cookies in the first group can stop sign-in, checkout or the language choice from working.
Google offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
