Cookie Policy
The Ericeira Seaside Escape website uses cookies to improve the browsing experience, ensure reservation security, and analyze website traffic.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to "remember" your actions and preferences (such as login, language, selected dates for reservation) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you browse between pages.
2. What types of Cookies do we use?
As our website is built on the Lodgify platform, we use different categories of cookies:
2.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential) These cookies are fundamental for the website's operation. Without them, services such as the booking engine, availability calendar, and secure payment area cannot be provided.
- Examples: Session cookies, security (protection against cyber attacks), and maintaining the state of the reservation "cart".
- Legal basis: Contract execution and legitimate interest. No prior consent is required.
2.2. Performance and Analytical Cookies We use these cookies to collect information on how visitors use the website (e.g., which pages are most visited, time spent). This data is anonymous and serves only to improve the functioning of our online accommodation.
- Tools: Google Analytics.
- Consent: These are only activated if the user accepts them in the cookie banner.
2.3. Functionality Cookies These allow the website to memorize choices the user makes (such as preferred currency or language) to provide a more personalized experience.
2.4. Advertising/Marketing Cookies These may be used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you on other platforms. If we use integrations with social networks (such as Facebook or Instagram), these entities may place cookies on your device.
3. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to Lodgify's own cookies, our website may use trusted third-party services, such as:
- Google Analytics: For traffic statistics.
