Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 14, 2026
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to store information. Similar technologies —
such as pixels, tags, software development kits, and browser storage (for example, localStorage) —
perform comparable functions. They can be first-party (set by the site you are visiting) or
third-party (set by another provider), and session (deleted when you close your
browser) or persistent (remaining until they expire or are cleared). This Policy explains how
Francette, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company doing business as
“Ricerca”, uses these technologies on the website at ricercacredit.com (the
“Site”).
2. Our consent-first approach
We use Google Consent Mode v2 and take a consent-first approach. Analytics are denied by default, and no analytics scripts load and no analytics cookies are set until you click “Accept” on our cookie banner. If you decline (or take no action), non-essential technologies stay off. If no Google Analytics / Tag Manager identifier is configured for the Site, no analytics run and the banner does not appear at all.
Your choice is remembered locally in your browser under the key ricerca_consent_v1. This preference is
stored in browser storage on your device; it is not a tracking cookie and is used only to remember whether you
accepted or declined.
3. Categories we use
Strictly necessary
These are required for the Site to function and to honor your choices. This includes remembering your cookie
consent decision (stored under ricerca_consent_v1) and basic technologies used to deliver and secure
the Site. These cannot be switched off through the banner because the Site cannot work properly without them.
Analytics (only after consent)
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Tag Manager (GTM) to understand how visitors use the Site so we can measure and improve it. These technologies — and any cookies Google sets in connection with them — load only after you click “Accept.”
4. Categories at a glance
| Category | Purpose | Set / loaded | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Site function and remembering your consent choice | Always active | Ricerca (first-party) |
| Analytics | Aggregated usage measurement to improve the Site | Only after you click “Accept” | Google (GA4 / GTM) |
| Spam protection | Protecting our forms from spam and abuse | When you interact with a protected form (where enabled) | Cloudflare (Turnstile) |
5. Third-party cookies
Google sets cookies in connection with GA4/GTM only after you accept analytics. These help distinguish users and sessions and measure how the Site is used. Where our contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile for spam protection, Turnstile may set a token or similar identifier to verify that a submission is human and to fight abuse; this is used for security rather than advertising. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-context behavioral targeting.
6. How to change or withdraw your choice
- Reset your preference for this Site: clear the stored consent preference by deleting site data
/ browser storage for ricercacredit.com (which removes the
ricerca_consent_v1value). The banner will appear again on your next visit so you can make a new choice. - Use your browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies and similar technologies, and clear local storage. Refer to your browser’s help pages for instructions. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may affect how the Site works.
- Google Analytics opt-out: you can also install Google’s Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
