# selenium 4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service as FirefoxService
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.webdriver import WebDriver
from webdriver_manager.firefox import GeckoDriverManager

driver: WebDriver = webdriver.Firefox(service=FirefoxService(GeckoDriverManager().install()))

url = "https://albo-on-line.comune.verona.it/web/servizi/albo-pretorio"

driver.get(url)
driver.implicitly_wait(10)

cookies = driver.find_element(By.xpath('//*[@id="cookie-privacy-close"]')).click()

determinazioni = driver.findElement(By.xpath('//*[@id="_menucontroller_WAR_maggiolialbopretorioportlet_MenuItem9"]')).click()

There are several thing here to improve:

Your syntax is wrong.
Instead of driver.find_element(By.xpath('//*[@id="cookie-privacy-close"]')) it should be driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="cookie-privacy-close"]')
You should use WebDriverWait expected_conditions explicit waits, not implicitly_wait
Since you locating these elements by their ID it's better to locate these elements by ID, not by XPath.

The following code works:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")

webdriver_service = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, service=webdriver_service)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)

url = "https://albo-on-line.comune.verona.it/web/servizi/albo-pretorio"
driver.get(url)

wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'cookie-privacy-close'))).click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, '_menucontroller_WAR_maggiolialbopretorioportlet_MenuItem9'))).click()

The result is:
