This page explains which cookies and similar tools are used by the Villa Acqua Marina website, in accordance with Article 122 of the Italian Privacy Code and the Italian Data Protection Authority's Guidelines of 10 June 2021.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites save on your device. Similar tools, such as the browser's localStorage, make it possible to remember certain settings. They can be technical, needed for the website to work, or profiling and analytics cookies, which require your consent.
2. This website does not use profiling cookies
The website does not use profiling, advertising or analytics cookies and does not install any third-party tracking tools. Fonts, images and flags are hosted directly on the website. For this reason no consent banner is needed.
3. Technical tools used
The website only saves the following technical information in your browser, without sending it to anyone:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| vam-lang | localStorage | Remember the chosen language | Until deleted |
| vam-intro | sessionStorage | Show the opening animation only once per visit | Until the browser is closed |
| vam-maps | localStorage | Remember that you chose to load the Google map | Until deleted or withdrawn |
The hosting provider may also use technical cookies strictly necessary for the security and proper operation of the service. These tools do not require consent.
4. Third-party content: Google Maps
On the Surroundings page the Google Maps map is not loaded automatically: it only appears if you press “Load the map”. From that moment Google may set cookies and collect data according to its own privacy policy. You can withdraw this choice at any time with the button below.
Done: the map will no longer load automatically.
5. Links to other websites
The website contains links to external services, such as the Di Casa in Sicilia booking page, WhatsApp and Google Maps. When you open them, the cookie policies of those websites apply.
6. How to manage cookies
You can delete the data saved by the website at any time and block cookies in your browser settings (for example Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge, under Privacy and security). For any question you can write to info@dicasainsicilia.it. More information on data processing is available in the Privacy policy.
