Cookie Policy

Last Updated: July 15, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Tommaso Mangiagalli and Gabriele Bellan ("we", "us", or "our") use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website (https://www.lazoneclimbing.com) and interact with our web services.

To ensure transparency and put you in control of your data, this policy outlines the types of cookies we use, what they do, who sets them, and how you can manage or opt out of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

  • First-Party Cookies: Set directly by us (the domain you are visiting). Only our website can read them.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Set by external services we use (such as Google Firebase/Analytics).
  • Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted automatically when you close your web browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a pre-determined period or until you delete them manually.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We keep our cookie usage minimal and privacy-focused. We classify the cookies used on our Platform into two categories:

A. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary to provide you with services available through our Platform and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas. Because these cookies are required for the website to function safely and correctly, they cannot be turned off and do not require prior consent under EU law.

  • Authentication & Session: Used by our Laravel framework to keep you securely logged into your account as you navigate between pages.
  • Security: Used to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
  • Consent Storage: Stores your choices and preferences made on our Cookie Consent Banner (so the banner doesn't keep popping up).

B. Analytical & Performance Cookies (Optional)

These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous information about how visitors use our website. They help us understand which pages are popular, trace software crashes, and measure the speed of our site so we can improve the user experience.

  • Provider: Google Firebase Analytics / Google Analytics.
  • Data Processed: IP addresses (anonymized), device/browser characteristics, and page interaction events.
  • Requirement: These cookies are blocked by default and will only run on your browser if you explicitly click "Accept All" or opt-in via our consent banner.

Note: LaZone does not use any marketing, profiling, or behavioral advertising cookies.

3. Cookie Overview Table

Cookie Name Provider / Source Purpose Type Expiry
laravel_session First-party (LaZone) Identifies your unique web session to keep you logged in. Session Browser close
XSRF-TOKEN First-party (LaZone) Prevents malicious cross-site security attacks on our forms. Session Browser close
lazone_cookie_consent First-party (LaZone) Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies. Persistent 180 Days (6 months)
_ga / _gid Google Analytics Collects anonymous, aggregated metrics on how our site is navigated. Persistent Up to 2 years

4. How to Opt Out and Manage Your Preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject optional cookies.

A. Via Our EU Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our site, our Cookie Banner will appear at the bottom of the screen.

  • Clicking "Accept All" allows us to load our performance/analytical cookies.
  • Clicking "Reject All" (or closing the banner without consenting) ensures only essential cookies are loaded.
  • You can change your mind or withdraw consent at any time by clicking the small "Cookie Settings" tab in the footer of our website.

B. Via Your Web Browser Settings

You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject strictly necessary cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to secure account areas (like logging in) will be broken.
