Cookies and tracking
This site sets no cookies. There is nothing stored on your device by itacatech.com, so there is nothing for you to accept, refuse, or clear, and nothing for a banner to ask you about. We would rather build a site that does not need a consent banner than build one, and this page explains what we do instead.
What we measure instead
We count traffic with Plausible, configured so that it:
| It does | It does not |
|---|---|
| Count page views | Set any cookie |
| Count a few interactions: a form opened, a form submitted, a link followed | Store your IP address |
| Report which site you arrived from | Build a profile of you |
| Report country, region, city, browser, and device type in aggregate | Follow you to other websites |
| Keep totals | Keep anything traceable to a person |
Plausible counts a visit by hashing your IP address and browser together with a salt that it deletes and replaces every 24 hours. The hash cannot be turned back into your IP address, and once the salt is gone the old hashes stop matching anything, so nothing here can recognise you from one day to the next.
Plausible is a European company, and it processes and stores these counts in the European Union, on servers in Germany. Your IP address reaches it to produce the hash and to look up the country, and is discarded rather than stored.
We use this to see which service pages get read and how many people who open the contact form actually send it. It cannot tell us who you are.
What loads from another domain
One thing, and only on the two pages that have a form:
| From | Where | What it does | Cookies |
|---|---|---|---|
Cloudflare Turnstile, challenges.cloudflare.com | Contact form, job application form | Confirms you are not a bot before we accept a submission, without making you solve a puzzle | None on this site |
Cloudflare receives your IP address to run that check. This is the alternative to a CAPTCHA that we judged least invasive, and without it the forms would be filled by scripts within a week. If you would rather not use it, call +1 786 568 8890 or write to compliance@itacatech.com and we will take it from there.
Everything else on this site is served from our own domain: fonts, images, styles, and scripts. The analytics script is one of them. Your browser asks itacatech.com for it and sends the counts to itacatech.com, and our server passes them to Plausible, so there is no request to a third-party address for us to explain. Nothing loads from an advertising network, a social platform, a font service, or a tag manager, because there is none of that here.
What we removed to get here
We audited every request the site makes and cut what was not load-bearing:
- hover screenshots on the compliance citations, which fired eight requests to an external API on every homepage load and, for both ISO links, showed a bot-check page instead of the standard
- an embedded Google map on the contact page, now a self-hosted still built from OpenStreetMap, because the embed was already non-interactive
- placeholder images still served from a third-party demo CDN, now self-hosted
None of that cost us a feature. All of it made the pages load faster.

If this changes
If we ever add something that stores data on your device, we will build the consent mechanism first, ask before we load it, and change this page before the change ships. We will not add a tracker and describe it afterwards.
