Cookies
What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.
Last reviewed: 2 September 2026
This policy covers Ombrelisa's use of cookies and related technologies across our resort reviews, destination guides, and hospitality catalogue: what they are, the purposes they serve, and your rights over their use.
1. About cookies
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Site operators use them widely to keep platforms working efficiently, to remember navigational preferences, and to compile analytical reporting.
We call cookies placed by Ombrelisa first-party cookies. Third-party cookies originate elsewhere and power embedded maps, typography services, and aggregated measurement.
2. Our purposes
- Essential cookies
- Needed to deliver basic platform functions, protect forms, and move between pages.
- Measurement cookies
- These gather aggregate data on how visitors move through our reviews and ranking tables so we can refine the editorial presentation.
- Cookies that remember your settings
- These retain preferences such as regional display settings, layout choices, and saved filters between sessions.
3. The cookies we set
| Type | Primary purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Session | Keeps your place in the site and preserves page layout. | Session |
| Analytics | Tracks reading time and interaction patterns in aggregate. | 12 months |
| Preferences | Remembers your layout choices and saved destination filters. | 6 months |
4. How to manage your cookies
Whether to accept cookies is entirely your decision. Browser settings give you control, and most browsers let you:
- See which cookies are held on your device and delete them selectively.
- Block third-party tracking cookies entirely.
- Block cookies from named domains or ask to be warned before one is created.
- Delete all cookies each time you close the browser.
If you block essential cookies, certain interactive ranking tools and catalogue features will not work correctly.
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
- Under the CCPA/CPRA and equivalent statutes elsewhere, you may refuse the sale or sharing of your personal information with third parties. Although we do not sell personal information in the traditional sense, limited data may reach trusted partners so that we can provide or improve our services.
- Tracking technologies
- You can manage or refuse cookies and tracking technologies through your browser settings, or through the cookie consent tools provided on this site.
- Marketing messages
- Opt out of promotional messages and newsletters using the unsubscribe link in any communication, or by writing to us.
- Withdrawing consent
- Any consent you have given may be withdrawn at any point. Doing so does not render unlawful the processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Requests to exercise these rights, or to opt out, can be sent to [email protected] or submitted through our contact form.
5. Changes to this policy
Ombrelisa may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect operational, technological, or legal change. We encourage readers to check this page periodically.
