Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 17, 2026

Data controller

The data controller for this website is Alberto Reineri, based in Italy. For any privacy-related question or to exercise your rights, contact hello@simplewplugins.com.

What data we process

This site is intentionally minimal. We don’t run any contact form, account system, or database of visitor data. The only two ways your data reaches us are:

  • Email you send us. The Contact page is a plain mailto: link — writing to us puts whatever you include (your email address, name if you sign it, message content) directly into our inbox. We use it only to reply to you, and keep it only as long as needed to handle the conversation.
  • Analytics cookies, only if you consent. See below.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use this site — which pages get read, roughly how much traffic we get, and from where. GA4 can set cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*) and send data, including your IP address, to Google servers, including outside the European Economic Area.

This only happens if you click “Accept” on the cookie banner. Until you do, Analytics stays fully switched off — no cookies are set and no data is sent to Google. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser (which resets the banner) or by using your browser’s tracking-protection settings.

The legal basis for this processing is your consent (art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Google acts as our data processor for this service; you can read Google’s own privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. To exercise any of these rights, email hello@simplewplugins.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority — in Italy, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
