Cookies
What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.
Updated: 2 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Vespirona uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our resort guides, reviews, and hospitality catalogue. It sets out what those technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on the device you browse with. They are used throughout the web to keep platforms running smoothly, hold navigational preferences, and generate analytics.
Cookies set by Vespirona are first-party cookies. Those set by anyone else are third-party cookies, and they support features such as embedded maps, web typography, and aggregated visitor measurement.
2. What we use cookies for
- Strictly necessary cookies
- Needed to deliver basic platform functions, protect forms, and move between pages.
- Performance and analytics cookies
- They tell us in aggregate which reviews and guides are read and for how long, informing how we structure future coverage.
- Preference cookies
- Preferences like currency display, layout, and destination filters are stored so you do not reset them each visit.
3. The cookies we set
| Type | What it does | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Session | Maintains navigation state and prevents layout disruption. | Session |
| Measurement | Measures reading duration and page interaction patterns. | 12 months |
| Reader preferences | Stores interface configuration and destination filter settings. | 6 months |
4. Managing cookies
The choice to allow or refuse cookies is yours alone. Your browser provides the controls, and most will let you:
- See which cookies are held on your device and delete them selectively.
- Block third-party tracking cookies entirely.
- Restrict cookies from specific domains, or request a prompt before any cookie is placed.
- Clear all stored cookies when the browser window closes.
Be aware that turning off essential cookies will restrict some interactive ranking tables and catalogue functions.
Your opt-out options
Control over the collection and use of your personal information rests with you. Where local law provides for it, the following choices apply:
- Sharing and sale of your data
- You may opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information with third parties where laws such as the CCPA/CPRA in California, or comparable legislation elsewhere, provide for it. While we do not sell personal information in the conventional sense, some data may be shared with trusted partners in order to provide or improve the service.
- Cookie controls
- Cookies and similar tracking tools can be managed or declined via your browser configuration or the consent controls published on this website.
- Marketing communications
- Promotional email and newsletters can be discontinued through the unsubscribe link in any message or by contacting us directly.
- Consent withdrawal
- Consent given earlier can be withdrawn whenever you choose, without affecting the lawfulness of any processing that took place while the consent was in force.
Requests to exercise these rights, or to opt out, can be sent to [email protected] or submitted through our contact form.
5. Revisions to this policy
Vespirona may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect operational, technological, or legal change. We encourage readers to check this page periodically.
