1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on the user's browser when accessing a page. They allow recognising the user, remembering their preferences and improving the browsing experience. They can also be used for analytical or advertising purposes.
Other similar technologies exist (web beacons, tracking pixels, local storage identifiers) that perform equivalent functions; when this policy refers to "cookies", it includes all of them.
2. Types of cookies
Cookies are classified by different criteria:
- By who manages them: first-party cookies (managed by the Site owner) or third-party cookies (managed by other entities).
- By duration: session cookies (deleted on browser close) or persistent cookies (remain for a set period).
- By purpose: technical (necessary for the Site's operation), personalisation, analytical, advertising or behavioural advertising.
3. Cookies used by this site
The site villadalias.com does not install first-party cookies. Visit measurement is done via a cookieless analytics tool that does not identify users or use persistent identifiers on their device.
As a result, this Site does not need to show a cookie consent banner on initial load.
4. Third-party cookies
Even though this Site does not install first-party cookies, third-party content or services may be loaded that do use cookies on their own domains:
- Booking platforms (Booking.com, Airbnb, etc.): when clicking on booking buttons, the user is directed to the platform's site, which may install its own cookies.
- Embedded maps and videos (Google Maps, YouTube, Vimeo): if some page embeds maps or videos, those services may install cookies when loading the content.
The Site owner does not control cookies installed by third parties nor the use they make of the information collected.
5. How to manage cookies
The user can allow, block or delete cookies installed on their device through the browser settings. Instructions for the main browsers:
Note that disabling cookies may prevent some third-party services from working optimally.
