Controller and scope
The controller is Focus Europe ETS, Via Giovanni Verga 10, 95041 Caltagirone (CT), Italy. Privacy contact: privacy@focuseurope.org. This page supplements the new website privacy notice: privacy.html. The app, forms and separate services have their own notices.
Cookies and browser storage
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by a browser. sessionStorage and localStorage also store information on a device: the applicable rules depend on the purpose, not just the technology’s name. Storage strictly necessary for a requested service does not require prior consent; optional storage is enabled only following an informed choice.
The website configuration does not include Google Analytics, advertising pixels or profiling tools activated by Focus Europe. Links to social media, YouTube, WhatsApp and app stores are ordinary links. Images and public archive data may load from Wix and Netsons infrastructure, processing the technical data needed for that connection.
Cookies and storage used by this website
The table covers the Wix technical cookie observed on website pages and the storage used by the interface. These relate to the browser in use and do not contain the visitor’s name or contact details.
| Name and technology | Purpose and activation | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sec-fetch-unsupported · Wix technical cookie on the website domain | Indicate browser limitations that prevent certain security features; set by the platform when needed | Session |
| focus-europe:app-welcome:session · Website sessionStorage | Remember that a visitor closed the app notice or followed one of its links, avoiding repetition during the same session | Browser tab session, depending on browser behaviour; removable through browser settings |
| focus-europe:app-welcome:v2 · Website localStorage | Remember the optional “Do not show for 30 days” choice. Written only when that control is selected after information about storage on the device | Maximum 30 days from the choice, or earlier if removed. An expired preference no longer applies and is removed when next read |
| focus-europe:blog:visitor:session · sessionStorage | Keep the anonymous Wix technical session used to retrieve published blog content and refresh it when necessary. No name, email address, membership or newsletter subscription is created. | Browser tab session; removable through browser settings |
Ordinary closure and the 30-day choice
Using the X, pressing Esc, continuing to the website or opening an app link does not enable 30-day storage. Closure is remembered during the tab session. “Do not show for 30 days” is a separate, optional choice limited to that purpose.
The choice does not enable advertising or statistics and is not used to recognise visitors across other websites. Accepting it is not required to read the content.
Manage the app preference
The following control removes the app notice preference for this website in this browser. The notice may appear on subsequent website pages. Withdrawal does not affect what happened before the preference was removed.
Infrastructure and ordinary caching
Ordinary browser caching of website resources is controlled by the browser and server headers. The website does not maintain its own persistent copy of the archives in localStorage or sessionStorage.
Wix delivers the pages and some images. The Wix technical cookie listed in the table may depend on browser support. Any platform tools needed for security or transmission are separate from the interface preferences listed above. Wix’s general published list covers multiple services and does not mean that every listed cookie is present here: https://support.wix.com/en/article/cookies-and-your-wix-site. Provider, transfer and technical data retention information is in the privacy notice.
Browser settings and external services
You can remove or restrict cookies and website data through your browser settings. Removing website storage also removes the app preference; technical restrictions may reduce some functionality. Data relating to services opened through external links are managed with those services.
External media in articles are not loaded until you select “Load multimedia content” in that article. The choice is not saved as a general preference: leaving or reloading the page requires another choice. Previously transmitted data are not deleted by closing the page. No analytics or advertising consent is implied.
