2. Data processed when you visit the website

When you visit this website, limited technical information may be processed to deliver the requested pages, protect the website and understand its general use and performance.

This information may include:

• the requested page or URL path;
• the date and time of the request;
• browser, operating system and device category;
• referring website;
• approximate country-level location;
• page-loading and performance measurements;
• technical information required to detect errors or attacks.

Cicci Research does not use this information to create advertising profiles or to follow visitors across unrelated websites.

3. Cookies and similar browser technologies

This website does not intentionally use advertising or profiling cookies.

Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies or browser storage such as localStorage to collect website-usage statistics. It is used to obtain aggregated information about page views, website performance, device categories, referring websites and approximate geographic distribution.

Strictly necessary technical cookies or similar technologies may be used by the hosting and security infrastructure where required to deliver the website, protect it from malicious traffic or maintain the correct operation of a requested service.

4. Local browser storage used by the live monitor

The ESTETiCO live-monitor page uses the browser's localStorage to cache public measurement data already downloaded from the monitoring database. This avoids downloading the same daily measurement data repeatedly and improves chart loading.

The cached values contain measurement timestamps and electrical measurement values. They do not intentionally contain names, email addresses, account identifiers, advertising identifiers or a record of the visitor's browsing activity.

These cached values remain in the browser until they are replaced by newer data or the visitor clears the website's stored data through the browser settings.

5. Cloudflare

This website is delivered, protected and measured using services provided by Cloudflare, Inc. Cloudflare may process limited technical information on behalf of Cicci Research for website delivery, security, performance and aggregated web analytics.

Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies or localStorage for usage analytics and does not fingerprint individual visitors. Raw, unsampled Web Analytics beacon data is retained by Cloudflare for seven days and is then aggregated for longer-term statistics. The Web Analytics dashboard currently makes data available for the previous six months.

More information is available in theCloudflare Privacy Policyand theCloudflare Web Analytics documentation.

6. Google Firebase live-monitor data

The ESTETiCO live-monitor page retrieves public measurement data from a Google Firebase Realtime Database hosted in the European Union. When the browser requests this data, Google may receive the technical information normally associated with a network request, such as the IP address, request time and browser information.

Cicci Research does not intentionally send names, contact details or user-account information to Firebase through the live-monitor page.

More information is available in Google'sPrivacy and Security in Firebaseinformation.

7. Purposes and legal basis

The technical information described above is processed to:

• provide and display the website;
• protect the website against attacks and misuse;
• identify errors and technical problems;
• measure aggregate website traffic and performance;
• display and cache the requested live-monitor measurements;
• improve website usability and reliability.

Processing for website delivery and security is necessary to provide the requested online service. Aggregate analytics and technical improvement activities are carried out on the basis of Cicci Research's legitimate interest in operating, protecting and improving its website, subject to applicable data-protection requirements.

8. Data retention

Cloudflare Web Analytics data is retained as described in section 5. Security and diagnostic information is retained only for the period reasonably necessary to investigate errors, prevent abuse, respond to security incidents or comply with legal obligations.

Public live-monitor measurement data is retained according to the scientific and project requirements of the ESTETiCO monitoring activity. Browser-cached copies are controlled by the visitor and can be removed through the browser's site-data settings.

9. External links

This website contains links to external websites and services, including documentation platforms, research organisations, LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, Google Maps and other third-party websites.

External services are not loaded merely because a text link is shown. When you choose to follow an external link, the destination website applies its own privacy and cookie policies. Cicci Research does not control processing performed independently by those websites.

10. Your rights

Where applicable under data-protection law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to the processing of your personal data.
