Privacy and Cookie Policy

Last updated: 12 August 2026

This Privacy and Cookie Policy describes how personal data relating to users visiting www.novaragospel.it is processed and is provided pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), Italian Legislative Decree No. 196/2003, as subsequently amended and supplemented, and the applicable legislation concerning cookies and other tracking technologies.

The website also uses a Consent Management Platform (CMP) provided by iubenda, configured to allow users to accept, reject or customise the use of non-essential cookies and other tracking technologies.

Data Controller

The Data Controller responsible for personal data collected through this website is:

Brotherhood Gospel Choir ETS
Email: info@novaragospel.it
Website: www.novaragospel.it

For any request concerning personal data protection or the exercise of rights under applicable data protection legislation, users may contact the Data Controller at the email address indicated above.

Categories of data processed

When users browse the website, technical data and information relating to the use of the website may be processed, including IP address, browser and device type, operating system, date and time of the request, pages visited, traffic source, interactions with the website and other technical information required for website operation, security, performance measurement and, where consent is required, analytics and marketing activities.

When users voluntarily contact the Data Controller by email or through other communication tools made available on the website, the information directly provided by the user will also be processed in order to handle and respond to the relevant request and fulfil any related obligations.

Purposes and legal bases of processing

Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

• technical operation and website security: to display pages correctly, prevent abuse, anomalies or unauthorised access, and ensure the security of systems;
• handling user requests: to respond to communications, requests for information or assistance;
• statistical analysis: to understand how the website is used and improve its content, performance and functionality;
• marketing, advertising measurement and remarketing: to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and, subject to consent, use third-party advertising and profiling technologies.

Processing required for the operation and security of the website may be based on the provision of services requested by users and/or on the legitimate interest of the Data Controller in maintaining the security and proper operation of its infrastructure.

The use of cookies and tracking technologies that are not strictly necessary, particularly for non-exempt analytics, advertising, remarketing or profiling purposes, is instead based on the user's consent whenever such consent is required by applicable law.

Cookies and other tracking technologies

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on a user's device while browsing a website. The website may also use equivalent technologies or other technical identifiers required for the operation of the services used.

The website mainly distinguishes between the following categories:

• strictly necessary cookies and technologies: required for website operation, security and storage of the user's privacy preferences. They do not require consent when used exclusively for these purposes;
• analytics cookies and technologies: used to measure website usage, traffic and user interactions;
• advertising and marketing cookies and technologies: used for campaign measurement, remarketing, advertising personalisation and similar purposes.

Consent management through iubenda

The website uses iubenda Privacy Controls and Cookie Solution as its Consent Management Platform (CMP).

On the user's first visit, where required by applicable legislation, a consent banner is displayed allowing the user to:

• accept all optional cookies and tracking technologies;
• reject non-essential cookies and tracking technologies;
• customise preferences according to purpose;
• obtain further information about the services being used.

The user's choice is stored by the consent management platform in order to respect the preferences expressed and document the management of consent.

Consent preferences may be changed or withdrawn at any time using the following link:

Google Consent Mode v2

The website uses Google Consent Mode v2 in conjunction with its consent management platform.

Consent Mode allows the Google services used by the website to adjust their behaviour according to the preferences expressed by the user. The main consent signals used are:

• analytics_storage: consent to storage for analytics purposes;
• ad_storage: consent to storage for advertising purposes;
• ad_user_data: consent to sending user data to Google for advertising purposes;
• ad_personalization: consent to personalised advertising.

When consent is not granted, the relevant consent signals are set consistently with the user's choice and the use of cookies and identifiers for those purposes is restricted.

Depending on the Consent Mode implementation used by the website, Google tags may either be completely blocked until consent is granted or, when advanced Consent Mode is used, may send technical signals to Google without the usual advertising or analytics cookies. Any such processing is performed in accordance with the preferences expressed through the CMP.

Google Analytics 4

The website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a service provided by Google, to obtain statistical information about website usage, including pages visited, interactions, traffic sources, technical characteristics of the user's device and other browsing-related information.

Google Analytics is integrated with Google Consent Mode v2. When the user authorises analytics purposes, the service may use cookies or other identifiers required for measurement.

Where the relevant consent has not been granted, Google Analytics behaviour is restricted according to the settings transmitted through Consent Mode and the consent management platform.

Information collected through Google Analytics is processed according to the settings selected by the Data Controller and the applicable Google terms and privacy policies.

Google Tag Manager

The website may use Google Tag Manager as a technical system for centrally managing measurement and tracking tags used on its pages.

Google Tag Manager is used to manage the activation of analytics and marketing services according to the user's consent preferences. The individual services managed through Tag Manager retain their respective purposes, legal bases and processing conditions.

Meta Pixel

The website uses the Meta Pixel, a technology provided by Meta, to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, understand actions performed by users after viewing or interacting with an advertisement and, where permitted, support remarketing and personalised advertising activities.

The Meta Pixel is configured to be activated, through the tag and consent management system, only when the user grants consent to the relevant advertising or marketing purposes, where such consent is required.

Information processed through Meta Pixel may include technical information relating to the browser and device, IP address, pages visited, events and interactions performed on the website and identifiers associated with Meta services.

Recipients and third-party providers

For the operation of the website and the services described above, certain information may be processed by third-party technology providers, including, depending on the services actually enabled:

• iubenda, for consent and privacy preference management;
• Google, for Google Analytics, Consent Mode and Google Tag Manager;
• Meta, for Meta Pixel and related advertising measurement services.

These parties process information according to their respective roles, contractual terms and applicable data protection legislation.

International transfers of personal data

Some of the technology providers used by the website may process personal data in countries outside the European Economic Area. Where applicable, such transfers must be carried out in accordance with the mechanisms provided for under Chapter V of the GDPR and the safeguards adopted by the relevant providers.

Data retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and, subsequently, for any additional period required by applicable legislation.

The duration of cookies and identifiers used by third-party services may vary depending on the type of service and the settings selected by the Data Controller and the relevant provider.

Updated information concerning cookies and tracking technologies currently in use can be accessed through the iubenda preference panel.

Data subject rights

Where provided for under the GDPR, users may exercise the rights granted under Articles 15 and following, including the right to:

• obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed;
• obtain access to their personal data;
• request correction or updating of their data;
• request deletion of their data where the applicable requirements are met;
• request restriction of processing;
• object to processing where permitted by law;
• request data portability where applicable;
• withdraw consent previously granted at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Requests may be sent to: info@novaragospel.it.

Right to lodge a complaint

If users believe that their personal data is being processed in breach of applicable data protection legislation, they have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali), without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy available under applicable law.

Third-party websites and services

The website may contain links to websites and services operated by third parties. When users follow such links, they leave the www.novaragospel.it domain and any processing performed by the destination website is governed by its own privacy and cookie policy, over which the Data Controller of this website has no control.

Changes to this Privacy and Cookie Policy

The Data Controller may periodically update this Privacy and Cookie Policy to reflect changes in legislation, changes to the services used or technical developments affecting the website.

If material changes are made to cookies, tracking technologies or purposes based on consent, users may be asked to express their preferences again through the consent management platform.
