3c. Functional media and application

With your permission, we load Wistia to play programme and testimonial videos and Typeform to open the application inside the website.

3d. Marketing

Meta Pixel is a piece of code provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. ("Meta") that lets us measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. When you submit an enquiry form ("Lead" event) or view a page ("PageView" event), a signal may be sent to Meta's servers to help us understand which ads lead to enquiries.

Meta Pixel does not load and no data is sent to Meta unless you explicitly accept Marketing cookies.

Meta may use this data for advertising measurement and, where you have separately consented on Meta's platforms, for remarketing. Meta may process data outside the EEA. See Meta's Privacy Policy →

4. Consent and withdrawal

When you first visit ithacape.com you are presented with a consent banner. You can accept all categories, reject non-essential cookies, or choose individually which categories to enable.

Your choice is stored for 365 days. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the button below or the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page.

Withdrawing consent prevents any further data collection. Cookies already set are deleted automatically for Analytics and Marketing categories. If Meta Pixel has already loaded in your current browser session, please also clear your browser cookies to ensure no residual data is sent.

5. How to block cookies via your browser

In addition to our consent tool, all major browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from functioning correctly.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when we add or remove services. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. If we make material changes that affect how your previously-given consent applies, we will re-display the consent banner.

7. Contact

For any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, email giovannipagano01@gmail.com.
