Last updated: .
1. Controller and contact details
The controller is TIA COSTRUZIONI S.R.L.S., based at Via dei Braschi 7, 20161 Milano (MI), Italy, Italian VAT number 14810510967, REA registration number MI-2808425, share capital EUR 1,000.00.
For privacy information and rights requests, write to privacy.office@tiacostruzioni.it. The quotation email address is lavori@tiacostruzioni.it; the certified email address (PEC) is tiacostruzionisrls@pec.it.
The Privacy Policy provides information about personal data, legal bases, recipients, transfers and rights.
3. Tools used by the website
| Tool | Purpose and provider | Retention and choice |
|---|---|---|
tia-language, in localStorage | TIA; remembers Italian or English, including when the default language is applied | Technical preference with no programmed expiry. Remains until changed, site data is cleared or the browser intervenes; does not require advertising consent |
| Fonts and icons | Resources served by the website to display its content | Do not add advertising cookies; any cached copies depend on the browser and service. Google Fonts and UNPKG are not contacted for the website's fonts and icons |
| Map loading choice | TIA; authorises only the map on the open page | Remains in page memory, without a consent cookie or persistent preference; ends on withdrawal, reload or departure |
| Google Maps | Google; displays the business location | Optional external content, blocked before the choice. Its technologies may vary according to the browser, account and service settings |
| Contact form | TIA; collects the fields needed for the enquiry | Does not save fields in cookies or persistent browser storage. The email button prepares a mailto link to open the visitor's email application. The visitor decides whether to send the message. The mailto link itself does not set website cookies. |
Basic Linux hosting and ordinary email are provided by Aruba S.p.A. Technical logs and web space backups (one daily and one weekly overwriting copy) are server-side processing, separate from cookies. They do not describe mailbox retention periods. Information and documentary limitations concerning logs and backups appear in the Privacy Policy, section 7.
The language preference contains no form data. Any technical data processed by the server for security and antispam is separate from browser cookies and quotation enquiry files.
4. Google Maps: optional loading and withdrawal
Before your choice, the map panel shows only website content, without connecting to Google. Selecting “Load Google map” connects your browser to the provider, which receives technical data and may use cookies and other identifiers. Additional Google resources needed by the map, including any fonts, also load after this action.
The choice concerns only Maps and does not authorise TIA analytics or marketing. “Revoke map” removes the content and restores blocking; reloading, leaving or returning to the page also requires a new choice. No authorisation is saved between visits.
Withdrawal does not erase data already received or Google cookies, and does not guarantee cancellation of requests already started. You can use “Open map” to visit the external service directly, without loading the map within the TIA website.
For the service's processing, see the Google Privacy Policy and Google cookie information. You do not have to load Maps to use the contact channels. Google identifies Google Ireland Limited as controller for EEA user data, subject to the specifics in its notice. This information concerns both the embedded Google Maps content and a visit to the external service.
5. External service cookies
Opening Google Maps on the provider's website may involve cookies on Google domains, not the TIA domain. Those observed when the service was opened voluntarily include:
| Name | Domain and provider | Available information | Observed duration |
|---|---|---|---|
SOCS | .google.com, Google | Stores cookie choices, according to provider documentation | Approximately 13 months |
__Secure-ENID | .google.com, Google | Google describes the ENID family as serving preferences and some analytics uses; a single purpose for this specific issuance was not established | Approximately 13 months |
OTZ | consent.google.com, Google | Observed on the Google service; its specific purpose was not established. It is not classified as a TIA technical cookie | Approximately 30 days |
These durations refer to observations made on 16 October 2026 and are not guaranteed for every visitor. Cookies, identifiers and behaviour may vary with the service, browser, location and account. The absence of cookies alone cannot establish the absence of other processing. Cookie expiry does not determine retention of provider logs or other data.
Opening the Google website is separate from loading the embedded map. No cookies were retained for the latter under the conditions observed, but this does not guarantee the same outcome with every account or browser.
TIA's WhatsApp contact uses a standard WhatsApp account. WhatsApp is an optional link, not a service loaded automatically. The form button may communicate the enquiry text to the service when the link opens, before the message is finally sent. WhatsApp's information applies to the service's technologies; no unverified cookie names or lifetimes are assigned.
Using Maps or WhatsApp may involve transfers outside the EEA, including to the United States. Recipients and mechanisms stated by the providers, with their respective limitations, are described in the Privacy Policy, section 6. Voluntarily loading the content does not amount to indiscriminately accepting every transfer.
6. Analytics, advertising and choices
Google Analytics for statistics and Google Ads tools for advertising campaigns and measuring their results are planned for a later stage. These services are planned for the future; the technologies currently used are those listed in section 3. Any processing by the Google or WhatsApp services already described is not equivalent to activating TIA advertising measurement tools.
The website currently uses the technical language preference and the specific Maps control, without a general cookie banner. Simply browsing or scrolling does not authorise optional content. Before the planned services are introduced, information about purposes, data processed, providers, retention and relevant transfers will be updated. Controls will be provided to accept, refuse and later withdraw consent to optional analytics and advertising tracking tools, which will remain blocked until consent. The choice relating to Maps remains separate.
7. Managing browser data
You can change the language using the selector and delete tia-language by clearing site data. A language parameter in a link may still determine the page language.
Browser settings let you view, restrict and delete cookies and other storage, according to the available features. TIA cannot directly delete cookies on Google domains or cookies protected from website access. Deletion from the browser does not automatically erase data already received by providers: you can use their controls and the procedures described in their notices for that data.
The 12 months from the last communication retention period for unsuccessful quotation enquiries concerns enquiry data, not cookies. See the Privacy Policy for retention of communications, logs and other data. For requests concerning TIA, write to privacy.office@tiacostruzioni.it.
