Effective Date: October 3, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Michele Volpi ("Michele Volpi," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit www.michelevolpi.com (the "Website").

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and can be used for different purposes, including making the website function properly, remembering preferences, understanding how visitors use the website, and improving the user experience.

We may also use technologies similar to cookies, including pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and other tracking technologies.

2. How We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Necessary Website Functionality

Some cookies or similar technologies may be necessary for the Website to operate properly.

They may help with:

  • website functionality;

  • security;

  • page navigation;

  • forms and interactive features;

  • remembering technical settings; and

  • delivering requested website features.

These technologies may be used even when you do not actively provide information to us.

Analytics and Website Performance

We may use analytics and measurement technologies to understand how visitors interact with the Website.

This may include information such as:

  • which pages are visited;

  • how visitors navigate the Website;

  • how visitors arrived at the Website;

  • how frequently pages are visited;

  • general device and browser information;

  • approximate geographic information; and

  • interactions with Website content.

We use this information to understand Website performance and improve the content, tools, and resources we provide.

Functional Technologies

Some cookies or similar technologies may allow the Website or third-party services to remember certain settings or preferences and provide enhanced functionality.

Third-Party Services

Some features of the Website may rely on third-party services.

These services may use their own cookies or similar technologies when you interact with their content or features.

Third-party services may include providers used for:

  • analytics;

  • website functionality;

  • embedded content;

  • social media functionality;

  • sharing tools;

  • forms;

  • email or newsletter services; and

  • other Website features.

The use of cookies by third parties is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies.

3. Third-Party Technologies

We may use third-party technologies to operate, measure, improve, or provide features on the Website.

For example, the Website may use services provided by companies such as Google or other technology providers.

The specific third-party services used on the Website may change over time.

Third parties may collect information about your device, browser, interactions with their technology, and your use of the Website, depending on the services enabled.

We do not control cookies or similar technologies placed directly by third parties.

4. Google Tag Manager

The Website may use Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google, to manage Website tags and related technologies.

Google Tag Manager itself is generally a tag-management system that allows website administrators to deploy and manage other scripts and tags.

The tags deployed through Google Tag Manager may, depending on how the Website is configured, collect information or place cookies.

The specific cookies or technologies used may therefore depend on the tags currently configured on the Website.

5. Analytics

We may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the Website.

Analytics information may help us understand:

  • how many people visit the Website;

  • which pages are most frequently accessed;

  • how visitors navigate the Website;

  • whether Website content is performing as intended; and

  • how we can improve the Website and its resources.

We will update this Cookie Policy if our use of analytics technologies materially changes.

6. Newsletter and Email Services

The Website provides visitors with the opportunity to subscribe to Michele Volpi's newsletter and receive career-related content and other communications.

The Website may use third-party email or marketing services to process newsletter subscriptions and deliver communications.

When you voluntarily subscribe to the newsletter, the information you provide may be processed by the relevant email service provider on our behalf.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link contained in the relevant email.

The Website also provides certain career assessment tools that require an email address to deliver results. For example, the Career GPS states that an email is required to receive results and that the email address will not be sold or added to a mailing list unless the user chooses to subscribe.

7. Career Assessments and Interactive Tools

The Website includes interactive career tools and assessments, including Career GPS and other career-related assessments.

These tools may collect information that you voluntarily provide, such as answers to assessment questions and your email address where you request results.

Cookies or similar technologies may also be used to support the technical operation of these tools.

Information collected through these tools is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

8. Social Media and Sharing Features

The Website may include links, buttons, or sharing functionality associated with social media platforms or other third-party services.

These services may place cookies or collect information when you interact with their features.

For example, social sharing functionality may allow you to share Website content through third-party platforms.

We do not control the privacy practices of these third-party platforms. You should review their respective privacy policies for more information.

9. Types of Cookies We May Use

Depending on the Website features and third-party services currently enabled, cookies may fall into the following categories:

The specific cookies and technologies used may change as Website features and third-party services change.

10. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

Cookies may be either:

Session Cookies

These cookies are temporary and are generally deleted when you close your browser.

Persistent Cookies

These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

The duration of individual cookies depends on the service that places the cookie and how that service is configured.

Because the Website's third-party services may change over time, the duration of individual cookies may also change.

11. How You Can Manage Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.

You can generally:

  • view cookies stored on your device;

  • delete existing cookies;

  • block cookies;

  • allow cookies only from certain websites; or

  • receive a notification before a cookie is placed.

You can find information about managing cookies through the help section of your browser.

Please note that disabling or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the Website.

12. Cookie Consent

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Where a cookie consent or preference tool is available on the Website, you may use it to manage your cookie preferences.

Strictly necessary technologies required for the Website to function may continue to operate where permitted by applicable law.

13. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting.

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, the Website may not respond to such signals in every circumstance.

  • changes to the Website;

  • changes to the technologies we use;
