Cookies
What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.
Revised: 2 September 2026
Here we describe the cookies and comparable technologies Blavorina places when you read our travel guides, resort reviews, and hotel catalogue — what they do, why they exist, and what control you retain over them.
1. Cookies explained
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Site operators use them widely to keep platforms working efficiently, to remember navigational preferences, and to compile analytical reporting.
Cookies set by Blavorina are first-party cookies. Those set by anyone else are third-party cookies, and they support features such as embedded maps, web typography, and aggregated visitor measurement.
2. Our purposes
- Strictly necessary cookies
- Needed to deliver basic platform functions, protect forms, and move between pages.
- Measurement cookies
- These gather aggregate data on how visitors move through our reviews and ranking tables so we can refine the editorial presentation.
- Functionality cookies
- Preferences like currency display, layout, and destination filters are stored so you do not reset them each visit.
3. Detailed classification
| Category | What it does | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Session | Holds navigation state so pages render consistently. | Session |
| Analytics | Tracks reading time and interaction patterns in aggregate. | 12 months |
| User settings | Stores interface configuration and destination filter settings. | 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.
- Block cookies from named domains or ask to be warned before one is created.
- Erase every stored cookie automatically at the end of a session.
Be aware that turning off essential cookies will restrict some interactive ranking tables and catalogue functions.
