Cookie policy

The short version

The site uses technical cookies to work, and analytics cookies only if you consent. No advertising pixels, no ads. On your first visit a banner asks you to accept or reject Google Analytics, which we use to understand — anonymously and in aggregate — how the site is used. If you reject (or don’t choose), no analytics cookie is set and Google receives nothing. You can change your mind anytime (see “If you don’t want them”).

There are two external components — the Lodgify booking calendar and the assistant (concierge). The calendar sets its own technical cookies to work — the ones for picking dates and booking, nothing else. The assistant sets no cookies: when you write to it, it sends your question to our server and to Anthropic to generate the answer (details in the privacy policy).

Analytics: Google Analytics (only with your consent)

We use Google Analytics 4 for anonymous, aggregate statistics (most-viewed pages, traffic sources, devices): to improve the site, not to profile you. It runs only if you press “Accept” on the banner: before that, no Google server is contacted and no analytics cookie is set. If you consent, Google sets the Analytics technical cookies (_ga and similar) to tell visits apart anonymously. Processing is on our behalf; the legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

What they are, in two lines

Cookies are files a site leaves on your device so it can recognise it. They’re used for useful things (remembering a preference) and less useful ones (following you from site to site to sell you advertising). We do neither.

The booking calendar: Lodgify

To take bookings we use Lodgify, our property management system. Its calendar is a third-party component and, to work, it sets its own technical cookies: the ones for picking dates and completing a booking, nothing more — no analytics, no advertising.

The calendar is loaded directly on the pages where you book — the home and the house pages — so you can check availability straight away. Together with the assistant, it is one of the site’s only two external components: everything else (fonts, images) is hosted here, and the maps we mention are links.

What you will NOT find here

• No Google Analytics without your consent: it runs only if you accept
• No Facebook pixel, no advertising trackers
• No embedded maps: where we mention a map it’s a link, which opens only if you click it
• No fonts loaded from external servers: they’re hosted here

If you don’t want them

For analytics, just press “Reject” on the banner: nothing is installed. If you had accepted and want to reverse it, clear the site’s cookies in your browser settings (the banner will reappear on your next visit and you can reject), or block Google Analytics cookies.

Lodgify’s cookies are technical booking cookies, not tracking. If you’d rather not have them, you can block or delete them from your browser settings: the rest of the site stays fully readable, and you can always book by email, by phone, or on Lodgify’s own site.
