Privacy & Cookies
This page explains what information this website collects and how you can control it. The site is run by the organisers of the Vasto Accretion Meeting 2027 (VAM 2027). For any question about this notice, or to exercise your data protection rights, email vasto.accretion.meeting@gmail.com.
Analytics cookies
With your consent, we use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are most useful, so that we can improve the site. Google Analytics is off by default: nothing is loaded from Google and no analytics cookies are set unless you click “Accept” in the cookie banner. The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.
If you accept, Google Analytics sets the following cookies:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga |
Distinguishes visitors | 2 years |
_ga_M1SPW1LG0Y |
Keeps track of the current visit | 2 years |
Google Analytics collects information such as the pages you visit, your approximate location, and your device and browser type. It does not log or store IP addresses. We do not use this data to identify you, and we do not use advertising features. Google acts as our data processor, and data may be processed outside the EU under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Changing your choice
Your choice is stored in your browser so that we don’t ask you on every page. You can change it at any time; if you withdraw consent, the analytics cookies are deleted.
Third-party content
Some pages include content from other services, which receive your IP address when the page loads and may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies:
- Google Maps embedded maps (Travel, Arrivals & Departures) and Google Forms (Registration) – Google Privacy Policy
- Google Fonts for the site typefaces – Google Privacy Policy
- Formspree, which delivers messages sent through the contact form on the home page – Formspree Privacy Policy
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete personal data held about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority, such as the Italian Garante per la protezione dei dati personali or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
