Cookie Policy
This page explains which cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage, treated the same as cookies under ePrivacy rules) fungodate.com uses, for what purposes, and how you can manage your preferences.
Last updated: 26 August 20261. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site saves on your device to remember information between visits (e.g. the contents of your cart) or to collect statistical information. The same rules apply to other local storage technologies, such as local storage.
2. Necessary cookies (always active)
These cookies are indispensable to the site's operation and therefore exempt from the consent requirement (Art. 122 Italian Data Protection Code).
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| fdt_cart_id | Technical (HTTP cookie, httpOnly) | Remembers your cart contents between pages | 30 days |
| fdt_cookie_consent | Technical (local storage) | Remembers your cookie choice, its date and the policy version, so we don't ask again until something changes | Until revoked or the browser data is manually cleared |
| fdt_market_choice_v2 | Necessary preference (local storage) | Remembers the market selected in the location prompt; no analytics or advertising | Until revoked or the browser data is manually cleared |
| cf_clearance / Turnstile session | Technical / security (Cloudflare) | Invisible anti-bot check on the newsletter and withdrawal forms, to block automated abuse — see Privacy notice, point 4 | Session / a few hours |
3. Statistics cookies (only after you accept)
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand anonymously which pages work best (an aggregate view of visits and paths through the site — never used to identify you individually). Refusing or withdrawing consent removes these cookies and stops any further data collection for this purpose.
Your choice on this "Statistics" category is also passed to the Customer Privacy API that Shopify (our e-commerce platform) runs on every page, and to Google Consent Mode, so both stay consistent with the consent you express here — that signal never enables advertising or data-sale categories, which this site does not use.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes visitors for aggregate statistics | 2 years |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics 4 | Keeps track of your session state within the measurement tool | 2 years |
4. No advertising cookies
The site does not use profiling cookies for advertising purposes, whether our own or third-party (e.g. social media remarketing).
5. How to manage your preferences
You can change your mind at any time by reopening the cookie preferences panel with the button below, or via the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of every page.
You can also block or delete cookies directly from your browser settings; the exact steps vary from browser to browser, and you'll find instructions in the relevant help page (search "manage cookies" in the settings of Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge). If you block technical cookies, some site functions — like the cart — may not work correctly.
