When you visit the Website, the web server automatically records certain information (server logs), which may include:

This information is collected for security, maintenance, and analytical purposes.
It's possible that the Website saves some user preferences directly in the browser, using a technology called local storage. These preferences are stored only after a voluntary user interaction.
This data is stored only on the user's device, is not transmitted to the web server, and is not shared with any third parties. It is used solely to restore preferences during future visits.
In particular, some preferences are saved in order to enhance the reading experience of the ebooks embedded in the pages of the Website. The stored information includes:
- The last page viewed

- Page margin settings
- Maximum number of pages per view
- Layout preference (scrolled or paginated)
- Selected color theme and any applied color filters

A data processing agreement has been signed to define the methods by which Aruba processes personal data on behalf of the Data Controller,
in full compliance with applicable data protection regulations.
5. Data Retention
Server logs are retained for a limited time, necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined above,
typically no longer than 30 days unless required longer for investigating security incidents
or to comply with legal obligations.

I do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties, except:
- With my data processor (Aruba) for hosting and security purposes
- If required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests
