No tracking
This website uses no analytics, advertising pixels, or profiling tools of its own. It may set first-party functional cookies under separate conditions: playback preferences for each ad, language, and version, and a preference when you open a prepared WhatsApp or email message after the questionnaire. They are described below; none saves answers. Their number may increase as you watch different ads or versions. Images, logos, fonts, and videos are served locally. Google Maps is optional and stays off until your specific choice.
Website theme
Only when you explicitly choose a light or dark theme does your browser save the preference in your device’s localStorage under the key lisco-theme, with the value light or dark. This functional preference restores your theme on future visits; it is not sent to Alessandro or used to identify you or track browsing. It remains until changed or cleared in your browser. Choosing System removes the key and follows your device settings.
Questionnaire: temporary answers and completion preference
Questionnaire answers are not sent to a server or saved in cookies, localStorage, or other persistent storage. They remain in page memory: closing the panel or reloading the page clears them. Only after all four steps and choosing to open the prepared message in WhatsApp or your email app, including a conversation-only result without a package, does the site set the first-party functional cookie lisco_questionnaire_done with the fixed value 1. Actual sending takes place in the external service and cannot be verified by the website. Viewing a result, copying the message, or opening the Instagram profile does not set the cookie. It only prevents the Questionnaire tab’s initial ten-second expansion and its two periodic bounces every thirty seconds; the button remains available and a new attempt starts with empty answers. The cookie contains no answers, health data, readiness, result, package, message text, or personal identifier and is not used for analytics, profiling, or advertising. It lasts up to 180 days (Max-Age=15552000), with Path=/ and SameSite=Lax, plus Secure on HTTPS. It is shared across this site’s language routes; the browser sends it with applicable requests. You can delete it in browser settings to allow the reminders again. On desktop, the edge tab stays hidden while the questionnaire in the Home hero is visible below the navigation header. The initial ten-second period and thirty-second cycle start when the tab first appears. Returning to the hero can hide the tab again without restarting that cycle. After the contact choice described above, the hero questionnaire is hidden and the quiet edge tab remains available. With reduced motion, the tab expands for ten seconds when it first appears and then retracts without bouncing. Preferences already set by earlier versions remain valid until deleted or expired. If you open a contact service or copy the message, that text follows the settings and privacy notices of the service or device.
Introductory video and playback preference
When an introductory video is hosted on this site, it may open in a floating panel, muted. You can minimize, pause, or reopen it using Watch the Ad. Before you act, the ad repeats muted. Your first click on the video or sound control restarts it from the beginning with sound; the first opening from the tab on each page also starts from the beginning with sound. After this first audio start, minimizing pauses playback and reopening resumes the same position; automatic looping stops. The panel minimizes five seconds after the video ends. Starting with sound requires your action and remains subject to browser rules. When playback crosses the end of the final spoken word with audio on (unmuted and with volume above zero), after the content has played through that point, the site sets a first-party functional cookie for that specific ad, language, and media version. Its name follows lisco_ad_completed_{adId}_{language}_{revision}; the current Italian example is lisco_ad_completed_time-for-you_it_2, with only the fixed value 1. It remembers completion of the spoken message in that clip to avoid later automatic openings of the same version. Another ad, language, or version uses a separate preference: a different cookie does not mark the current clip as seen. These cookies contain no personal identifier and are not used for analytics, profiling, or personalized advertising. Each lasts up to 180 days (Max-Age=15552000), with Path=/ and SameSite=Lax, plus Secure on HTTPS. The browser sends them to this site with applicable requests, and you can delete them in browser settings. The former lisco_intro_seen and lisco_ad_seen_* cookies are no longer read to decide whether to open the ad: if present, they may remain until their original expiration or browser removal. The video does not embed Instagram’s player. The selected language loads only its matching video; the video starts automatically muted even when reduced motion is requested; interface animations respect that preference. The theme remains in localStorage. When no video is available, no playback preference is set for that language. Partial playback before the speech ends, early closing, skipping to that point, or crossing it while muted does not set this cookie. Turning sound on only afterward is not enough. You do not need to wait through the final wordless tail. The cue comes from an automated word-timed transcription and is observed by the player: it cannot establish your device’s physical output volume or that you listened to the entire clip. Played ranges are checked only in the player’s memory, without storing a viewing history.
Optional Google Maps map
The map does not load automatically. If you agree using the dedicated control, your browser connects to Google Maps and Google may use cookies or identifiers under its own terms and settings. This choice concerns the map only: it does not activate website analytics or advertising. Service notices: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
Your settings
You can change the theme at any time or clear website data in your browser settings. Your choice to activate Google Maps applies to the current page and is not saved in localStorage. You can leave the map disabled and continue using the website normally. After activation you can close it; any Google cookies already saved can be managed in your browser or Google privacy controls.
Understand your browser choices.
What happens when you open a page
The website is made from static pages, images, fonts and styles hosted alongside its own files. It does not load an analytics system to measure how you move between sections, or embed an Instagram feed. Reading a package card, switching language or visiting the biography does not require activating a profiling service in the website code. This does not mean that an Internet connection involves no technical data: hosting and network operations are separate from systems that analyze visitors’ behavior. The privacy notice describes the general processing information and purposes. Read it alongside this page to distinguish the website’s functions from the underlying delivery of pages and from services you decide to open elsewhere.
Light, dark and the system setting
The appearance control has three options. Light and Dark are explicit visitor choices, while System follows the preference communicated by your device. When you select a manual theme, the website can store that choice in your browser’s local storage under the key lisco-theme. It is a presentation preference, rather than an identifier designed to recognize you across different websites. Returning to System removes that saved preference through the website code. If your browser prevents storage, the selection can still work on the current page. Whether local storage is available depends on your browser, device settings and any private browsing mode. Those settings may also affect whether your choice remains available on a later visit.
Local storage and cookies are different mechanisms
The theme preference uses local browser storage, which is technically distinct from a cookie transmitted in requests to a server. Both concern information on your device, but describing them as if they always behaved identically would be misleading. The website does not use the appearance preference to build a visit history or an advertising audience. Removing the website’s data through browser settings can also remove the saved theme. Command names vary between applications and operating systems, so look for website data management as well as browsing history. Deleting history alone does not guarantee that every kind of local storage has been removed. Check what your browser says will be deleted before confirming an operation.
A local preview before Google Maps
The Virgin Active section initially displays a vector map hosted by this website, accompanied by OpenStreetMap attribution and the club address. This preview is not a hidden Google map that has been loaded ahead of your choice. Google’s interactive content is added only after the explicit load control beside the explanation about connecting to an external service. You can keep reading without pressing that button. The address remains available, and you can decide whether to use a navigation service separately. The website does not save a map-consent preference that automatically activates Google on later visits. Activation depends on your action in the particular page you are currently viewing, rather than on scrolling past the map section.
Close the map and manage the external service
After activating Google Maps, use Close map to remove the interactive content and restore the local preview. This control acts on the current page. It is not a request to delete information already received by Google, and it cannot guarantee removal of cookies an external service may have set. Consult the provider’s information and your browser settings to manage those aspects. The directions link also opens an external service, in a separate tab. Choosing directions avoids embedding the map inside this page, but it does not mean you remain on this website or prevent communication with the service you have decided to open. Consider both choices in light of which destination you want to use.
Social buttons, messages and the address book
Instagram, WhatsApp and professional profile links are voluntary actions to other destinations. The website does not embed their content simply because it displays a button. Once you open a destination, its processing is also governed by that service’s information and your account settings. The QR code and vCard instead use the public professional details contained in the local file: saving them does not provide access to your address book or create a subscription. To clarify how one of these tools works, contact Alessandro through the email in the privacy notice. You can use the essential information on the page without opening social accounts, interactive maps or a messaging application.
