This Cookie Policy describes the use of cookies and similar technologies on the website mabellguesthouse.com.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites can store on the user’s device during browsing.
For example, cookies allow you to keep a session active, remember user preferences, protect forms, manage a booking, or enable external services to work.
Technologies with similar functions, such as local storage, pixels, identifiers, and scripts, are considered tracking tools and are governed by this notice.
2. Types of cookies used
Technical cookies and strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to work and do not require the user’s prior consent.
They may be used to:
- ensure the website’s security;
- manage the browsing session;
- remember the data entered during the booking process;
- keep the cart or the booking summary active;
- prevent fraudulent requests;
- manage cookie preferences;
- enable the functioning of forms;
- complete payment through Stripe.
By disabling these cookies through your browser settings, some website features may not be available.
Cookies and tools related to Stripe
The website uses Stripe to handle online payments.
Stripe may use cookies and necessary technical tools for:
- processing the payment;
- authenticating the transaction;
- preventing fraud and unlawful use;
- protecting payment data;
- complying with applicable legal obligations.
These tools are generally necessary to provide the payment service requested by the user.
The website does not directly store complete card payment data.
Google Maps
The website may integrate a map provided by Google Maps to show the property’s location.
Google Maps may use cookies and other tools to collect information such as:
- IP address;
- browser and device type;
- interactions with the map;
- navigation data;
- any information related to the user’s Google account, when connected.
The map must be loaded only after the user has given their consent through the banner or the cookie management panel.
Before consent is given, a static image or a box prompting the user to authorize the map to load may be shown.
The website may include a button or a link to WhatsApp.
A simple external link normally does not install WhatsApp cookies until the user selects it. When the link is opened, the user accesses an external service that may collect data according to its own terms and notices.
If the website integrates a script or an advanced WhatsApp widget, this must be classified and managed through the consent system based on its actual functioning.
3. Analytics and advertising cookies
As of the date this notice was updated, the website does not declare that it uses:
- Google Analytics;
- Meta Pixel;
- advertising profiling tools;
- remarketing systems;
- cookies for personalized advertising.
If such tools are introduced, the Cookie Policy and the consent system must be updated before they are activated.
4. Consent management
When the user accesses the website for the first time, they can view a banner that allows them to:
- accept all non-essential cookies;
- reject all non-essential cookies;
- choose cookie categories individually;
- continue using only technical cookies.
Refusing optional cookies must not prevent normal browsing of the website or the use of essential functions.
Consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time through the link “Manage cookie preferences”, which must be kept accessible in the website footer.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
5. Duration of cookies
The duration varies depending on the cookie’s function.
Cookies can be:
- session cookies, when they are deleted when the browser is closed;
- persistent cookies, when they remain stored until the expected expiry date or until they are manually deleted.
Consent preferences should be requested again if the cookies used change significantly, and in the absence of changes, according to the timing provided by the instructions of the competent authority.
The updated technical list of individual cookies, including name, provider, purpose, and duration, must be generated by the consent management system actually installed on the website.
6. Management via browser
The user can delete or block cookies also through their browser settings.
Disabling technical cookies can compromise the correct operation of online booking, payment, or other essential functions.
Settings are generally found in sections dedicated to privacy, security, cookies, or site data of the browser being used.
7. Third-party services
For more information about the processing carried out by external providers, the user can consult the notices made available by:
- Stripe;
- Google;
- WhatsApp and Meta.
The policies of these providers may be updated independently and without any involvement from Mabell Guest House.
