What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. localStorage, a storage area of the browser, works in a similar way. On this page, as the Italian Data Protection Authority guidelines do, we use the word cookies for both.
bimon.it uses no profiling or advertising cookies, either its own or third-party.
Technical storage: your consent choice
We save the key bimon-consent in localStorage to remember whether you chose "Accept" or "Reject" in the banner. It is strictly necessary and therefore does not require consent (Art. 122(1) of the Italian Privacy Code). It is valid for 6 months, after which we ask you to choose again.
Cookieless statistics
Some statistics tools are always on because they store nothing in your browser:
- Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights measure visits and site performance in aggregate form, without identifying individual visitors;
- PostHog in cookieless mode (PostHog Inc., data hosted in the EU, in Frankfurt) records pages viewed, clicks, scrolling, referring page, approximate country and type of device and browser. It uses no cookies, localStorage or sessionStorage, records no sessions and does not store your IP address. To count visits it uses a code calculated on the server from IP, user agent and a value that rotates daily: the code changes every day and is not stored in readable form.
Nothing is stored on or read from your device beyond what is technically necessary, with safeguards equivalent to those set out for analytics cookies in the Italian Data Protection Authority guidelines of 10 June 2021: that is why no consent is needed. You can still object by writing to info@bimon.it, or turn on your browser's tracking protection.
In the same way, we record anonymous usage of the free tools, for example the BIM Mandate Checker outcome and a value band, never the exact amount.
Analytics cookies, only with your consent
If you click "Accept" in the banner, PostHog switches to full mode: it recognises your browser when you come back and records browsing sessions with all form inputs masked.
To do so it stores the cookie ph_<project>_posthog and other keys with the prefix ph_ in cookies and localStorage, which last up to 1 year. We keep events for up to 12 months and session recordings for up to 30 days.
If you click "Reject", or until you make a choice, PostHog stays in cookieless mode and stores nothing in your browser.
List of cookies and storage items
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
bimon-consent | BIMON (localStorage) | Remembers whether you chose "Accept" or "Reject" in the banner. | 6 months | Not required |
— | PostHog | No cookie or browser storage. Anonymous statistics: pages viewed, clicks and visits counted with a daily code calculated on the server. | Not applicable | Not required |
ph_<project>_posthog, ph_* | PostHog (cookie, localStorage) | Only after "Accept": recognises the browser across visits and rebuilds sessions. | Up to 1 year | Required |
How to change your choice
You can change your mind at any time with the "Change cookie preferences" button at the top of this page or the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer: both reopen the banner with "Accept" and "Reject". If you reject after accepting, we delete PostHog's cookies and stored data from your browser and PostHog goes back to cookieless mode.
You can also delete or block cookies and localStorage in your browser settings, usually in the privacy and security section. If you delete bimon-consent, the banner appears again on your next visit.
Third-party content
The site does not embed third-party content, such as videos, maps or social widgets, that could set their own cookies.
