Cookie Notice
What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.
Last updated: 2 September 2026
This policy covers Vermolina'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
A cookie is a small file stored on your device by a website you visit. Operators rely on them to make sites function properly, to retain user preferences, and to produce aggregate reporting.
We call cookies placed by Vermolina first-party cookies. Third-party cookies originate elsewhere and power embedded maps, typography services, and aggregated measurement.
2. How we use cookies
- Essential cookies
- Needed to deliver basic platform functions, protect forms, and move between pages.
- Performance and analytics cookies
- They collect aggregated information about how readers use our reviews, rankings, and guides, which helps us improve pacing and presentation.
- Functionality cookies
- They remember your display region, layout preference, and any filters you have applied, so those persist between visits.
3. The cookies we set
| Category | Primary purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Core session | Maintains navigation state and prevents layout disruption. | Session |
| Platform analytics | Tracks reading time and interaction patterns in aggregate. | 12 months |
| Preferences | Keeps interface options and filter selections between visits. | 6 months |
4. How to manage your 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.
- Restrict cookies from specific domains, or request a prompt before any cookie is placed.
- Erase every stored cookie automatically at the end of a session.
Please note that rejecting or disabling essential cookies may limit or degrade access to interactive ranking tables and catalogue features.
Your opt-out options
How your personal information is gathered and used remains under your control. Subject to your location and the applicable legislation, you may exercise these opt-outs:
- 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.
- 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 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.
To exercise any of these rights, or to make an opt-out request, please contact us at [email protected] or use our contact form.
5. Updates
Vermolina may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect operational, technological, or legal change. We encourage readers to check this page periodically.
