Summary: This website does not track you, does not use analytics, and does not collect any personal data through forms or third-party services. The only cookies present are strictly necessary technical cookies set by WordPress.
1. Data Controller
The data controller for this website is:
Grid Consult
Email: grid@gridconsult.eu
Website: www.gridconsult.eu
2. Scope and Applicable Law
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors of gridconsult.eu and is drafted in compliance with:
- Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR)
- Italian Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, as amended by D.Lgs. 101/2018
- Guidelines and recommendations issued by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB)
Where visitors access the site from outside the European Economic Area (EEA), this policy is provided for transparency purposes. The level of protection offered meets or exceeds the GDPR standard.
3. Data We Do Not Collect
This website is designed with a minimal data footprint. Specifically, it does not:
- Use contact forms, registration forms, or newsletter sign-up forms
- Deploy web analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics, Matomo, or similar)
- Use advertising or remarketing cookies
- Embed third-party social media widgets that track users
- Collect, store, or process any personal data automatically upon visit
4. Cookies
This website uses only strictly necessary technical cookies, automatically set by the WordPress platform to ensure the correct functioning of the website. These cookies do not identify you personally and are not used for any tracking, marketing, or profiling purpose.
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
wordpress_test_cookie | Technical | Checks whether the browser supports cookies | Session |
wp-settings-{id} | Technical | Stores display preferences for the WordPress admin interface (only for logged-in administrators) | 1 year |
wp-settings-time-{id} | Technical | Records the time of the last settings update (only for logged-in administrators) | 1 year |
Because the cookies listed above are strictly necessary for the technical operation of the site, they do not require your prior consent under Article 5(3) of EU Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive) and Recital 25 of the same. No cookie banner or consent mechanism is therefore required.
5. Server Log Files
Like all websites, the web server hosting gridconsult.eu may automatically record standard technical information in server logs, including:
- The IP address of the requesting device (anonymised or truncated where possible)
- Date and time of the request
- URL of the page visited
- HTTP status code and volume of data transferred
- Referring URL and browser/OS type (user agent string)
This data is processed on the basis of legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for security monitoring, fault diagnosis, and server performance purposes. Logs are retained for a limited period (typically 30 days or less) and are not used to identify individual users or for any commercial purpose.

- Retention: Email correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to handle your request and for any subsequent legally required period
- Sharing: Your data will not be shared with third parties, sold, or used for marketing purposes
7. Data Transfers Outside the EEA
We do not intentionally transfer personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area. To the extent that server infrastructure or email services involve processors located outside the EEA, such transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses as per Article 46 GDPR).
