PRIVACY & COOKIES

Legal information for the official Thomas Canto website, including privacy, cookies, and personal data.

PRIVACY POLICY

Personal data may be collected when a visitor contacts the studio, submits an inquiry, requests information, or subscribes to communications. Data is used only to respond to requests and manage studio communication. The data controller is the website operator identified in the LEGAL NOTICE.

COOKIES AND AUDIENCE MEASUREMENT

On your first visit, a banner asks you to accept or refuse cookies. Refusing is as easy as accepting, and the website works the same way in both cases. Your choice is stored on your device for 6 months (key tc_cookie_consent, in the browser local storage, or in a cookie of the same name if local storage is unavailable). After 6 months the banner appears again. You can change your choice at any time with COOKIE SETTINGS in the footer.
Purpose: audience measurement only. If you accept, the website loads Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited, Google LLC), which measures the pages viewed, the time spent and the origin of visits, in order to understand how the website is used and to improve it. No advertising use is made of this data. If you refuse, or as long as you have not chosen, nothing is requested from Google and no analytics cookie is set.
Cookies set after acceptance: _ga and _ga_VW5C1EHC8H, which distinguish visitors and sessions. Their lifetime is limited to 13 months by the website configuration. Retention of the analytics data itself in Google Analytics: 14 months. Data processor agreement and international transfer framework with Google: Google processes this data on our behalf under the Google Ads Data Processing Terms, which apply to Google Analytics and were accepted in our Google Analytics account on 23 October 2026 (privacy.google.com/businesses/processorterms). For transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area to the United States, Google relies on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and, where it does not apply, on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (business.safety.google/adsdatatransfers).
The cookie banner choice is the only storage the website writes without your consent, because it is strictly necessary to remember your refusal or acceptance. It contains no personal data.
