This Cookie Policy explains how margaretchiavini.com (“the website,” “we,” “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies, what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help a site work properly, remember your choices, and understand how visitors use it. Some cookies are set by us (“first-party cookies”) and some are set by services we use, such as Google and YouTube (“third-party cookies”).
When you first visit the website, a cookie banner asks for your consent. You can accept all cookies, deny non-essential cookies, or choose which categories to allow. Necessary cookies always run because the website can’t work without them. Everything else stays off until you agree.
You can change your mind at any time by clicking Cookie settings in the footer of any page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the website may not work as intended if you do.
We use Google Consent Mode, which means Google Analytics does not store analytics cookies on your device unless you allow analytics cookies.
These cookies keep the website secure and remember your cookie choices. They can’t be switched off.

These cookies help us understand how visitors find and use the website, such as which pages are visited, which videos are watched, and which buttons are clicked, so we can improve it. We also use Microsoft Clarity, which creates heatmaps and session recordings that show how people scroll, click, and move through pages. Clarity masks what you type into forms. These cookies only run if you allow analytics cookies.
