Cookie Notice

What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.

Last updated: 2 September 2026

This policy covers Arbelinta'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. Cookies explained

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.

Cookies we set ourselves are described as first-party. Third-party cookies come from other providers and enable things like interactive maps, font rendering, and aggregate visitor statistics.

2. How we use cookies

Strictly necessary cookies
These support essential operation, security checks, and navigation through our editorial pages.
Performance and analytics cookies
These gather aggregate data on how visitors move through our reviews and ranking tables so we can refine the editorial presentation.
Functionality cookies
They remember your display region, layout preference, and any filters you have applied, so those persist between visits.

4. Controlling cookies

Whether to accept cookies is entirely your decision. Browser settings give you control, and most browsers let you:

  • Review the cookies already stored and delete them individually or by site.
  • Block third-party tracking cookies entirely.
  • Block cookies from named domains or ask to be warned before one is created.
  • Clear all stored cookies when the browser window closes.

Please note that rejecting or disabling essential cookies may limit or degrade access to interactive ranking tables and catalogue features.

Opt-out and your choices

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.
Cookie controls
You can manage or refuse cookies and tracking technologies through your browser settings, or through the cookie consent tools provided on this site.
Promotional email
You can stop receiving promotional email or newsletters at any time by using 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

We may amend this Cookie Policy to keep pace with operational, technical, or regulatory developments. Reviewing this page occasionally is the best way to stay informed.
