Privacy Policy
How we handle your data — no legalese, just the facts.
Last updated: March 2026
The short version
We collect minimal data to understand how people use our website. We don't sell your information. We don't share it with advertisers. No tracking happens until you say it's okay.
Who we are
Optimus Via is a boutique management and investment consultancy headquartered in Rome, Italy. This policy covers our website at optimusv.com.
If you have questions about how we handle your data, email us at info@optimusv.com.
What we collect
We only collect data through two tools — Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Neither loads until you click “Accept” on the cookie banner. If you decline, zero tracking takes place.
Google Tag Manager (GTM)
GTM is a tag management system. It doesn't collect data by itself — it's the container that loads other tools (in our case, GA4). Think of it as a switchboard: it decides which scripts run, but doesn't read or store your information directly.
It only loads after you give consent.
Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
GA4 is our analytics tool. It tells us things like how many people visit the site, which pages they look at, and what country they're browsing from. Here's what GA4 collects:
- Page views — which pages you visit and how long you stay
- Device info — browser type, screen size, operating system
- Rough location — country and city level, not your exact address
- Referral source — how you found us (search engine, direct link, social media)
- Site interactions — clicks, scrolls, form submissions
What GA4 does not collect
GA4 does not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any personally identifiable information — unless you voluntarily submit it through our contact form.
We have IP anonymization enabled. Google truncates your IP address before storing it, so we never see your full IP.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Here's exactly what we use:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
ov-cookie-consent | Remembers your cookie preference | Persistent (localStorage) |
_ga | GA4 — distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
_ga_* | GA4 — maintains session state | 2 years |
If you decline cookies, only ov-cookie-consent is stored (to remember that you said no). No Google cookies are set.
Your consent and choices
When you first visit our site, a banner asks whether you accept or decline analytics cookies. No tracking runs until you choose. This is compliant with GDPR (EU) and PDPA requirements.
You can change your mind at any time using the button below:

Alternatively, you can install Google's browser opt-out add-on to disable Google Analytics across all websites.
Who sees your data
Analytics data is processed by Google under their privacy policy. We access aggregated reports — trends, totals, percentages. We do not sell, rent, or share your data with any other third party.
Contact form
If you submit our contact form, we receive your name, email, and message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry. We don't add you to marketing lists or share your details with anyone.
Your rights under GDPR
If you're in the EU or EEA, you have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
To exercise any of these rights, email info@optimusv.com. We'll respond within 30 days.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your data, we'll update this page and the date at the top. For significant changes, we'll reset the cookie consent banner so you can review and decide again.
