Cookie Policy
What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.
Last revised: 2 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Vostinera uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our resort guides, reviews, and hospitality catalogue. It sets out what those technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
1. About cookies
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 Vostinera first-party cookies. Third-party cookies originate elsewhere and power embedded maps, typography services, and aggregated measurement.
2. What we use cookies for
- Cookies we cannot switch off
- Needed to deliver basic platform functions, protect forms, and move between pages.
- Measurement cookies
- They collect aggregated information about how readers use our reviews, rankings, and guides, which helps us improve pacing and presentation.
- Cookies that remember your settings
- Preferences like currency display, layout, and destination filters are stored so you do not reset them each visit.
3. Cookie categories in detail
| Group | Primary purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Essential session | Maintains navigation state and prevents layout disruption. | Session |
| Measurement | Tracks reading time and interaction patterns in aggregate. | 12 months |
| User settings | Keeps interface options and filter selections between visits. | 6 months |
4. How to manage your cookies
You have an absolute right to accept or reject cookies. Preferences can be set through your browser, and most browsers allow you to:
- See which cookies are held on your device and delete them selectively.
- Refuse all third-party tracking cookies.
- Restrict cookies from specific domains, or request a prompt before any cookie is placed.
- Delete all cookies each time you close the browser.
Be aware that turning off essential cookies will restrict some interactive ranking tables and catalogue functions.

- Cookies and tracking
- Cookies and similar tracking tools can be managed or declined via your browser configuration or the consent controls published on this website.
- Marketing communications
- You can stop receiving promotional email or newsletters at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any message, or by contacting us directly.
