Cookie Notice
What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.
Last updated: 2 September 2026
This policy covers Valpurena'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. What cookies are
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 Valpurena first-party cookies. Third-party cookies originate elsewhere and power embedded maps, typography services, and aggregated measurement.
2. Our purposes
- Cookies we cannot switch off
- Required for core functionality, security verification, and navigation across the publication.
- Measurement cookies
- They collect aggregated information about how readers use our reviews, rankings, and guides, which helps us improve pacing and presentation.
- Functionality cookies
- Preferences like currency display, layout, and destination filters are stored so you do not reset them each visit.
3. Cookie categories in detail
| Category | Primary purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Core session | Maintains navigation state and prevents layout disruption. | Session |
| Measurement | Records how long pages are read and how readers move between them. | 12 months |
| Preferences | Remembers your layout choices and saved destination filters. | 6 months |
4. Controlling cookies
The choice to allow or refuse cookies is yours alone. Your browser provides the controls, and most will let you:
- Inspect stored cookies and remove them one at a time or per website.
- Refuse all third-party tracking cookies.
- Deny cookies from particular sites, or configure a warning before each new cookie.
- Erase every stored cookie automatically at the end of a session.
If you block essential cookies, certain interactive ranking tools and catalogue features will not work correctly.
Your opt-out options
You have the right to control how your personal information is collected and used. Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may exercise the following opt-out choices:
- Data sharing and sale
- 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.
- Cookies and tracking
- Use your browser's settings, or the consent tool on this site, to manage or reject cookies and other tracking technologies.
- Marketing communications
- Promotional email and newsletters can be discontinued through the unsubscribe link in any message or by contacting us directly.
- 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. Revisions to this policy
This policy may be updated periodically as our operations, technology, or legal obligations change. Please revisit this page from time to time.
