Cookie Policy

Effective Date: May 17, 2026 · Villa Graziella French Riviera

1. Introduction & Consent

This Cookie Policy explains how Villa Graziella uses cookies and tracking vectors to optimize your reservation browsing performance. By continuing to navigate our architectural portfolios, grounds, and reservation interfaces, you acknowledge the functional deployment of these essential scripts.

We believe in absolute minimalism. To protect your private data metrics, this website does not perform aggressive programmatic tracking, nor do we run corporate advertising retargeting modules or sell individual analytics pipelines to third-party databases.

2. What are Cookies?

Cookies are ultra-light strings of data blocks stored directly inside your device's browser memory cache. They help our server configuration recognize your preference states, verify secure layout distributions, and preserve custom criteria inputs (such as calendar dates selected inside your booking workflow queries).

3. The Comprehensive Cookie Inventory

Below is a precise specification registry of all cookies utilized across this website deployment, structured according to international transparent documentation requirements:

A. Essential & Functional Technology (Always Active)

These data parameters are strictly required to let the page function safely, process booking fields, and maintain layout states.

Cookie Name	Provider / Source	Purpose Description	Retention
wp-settings-*	WordPress Engine	Preserves your admin panel preferences and active structural rendering choices inside the layout framework.	1 Year
wordpress_sec_*	WordPress Engine	Maintains highly protected secure session authorization channels across the property's system endpoints.	Session
elementor	Elementor Template	Stored to remember structural element rendering layouts and responsive kinetic movement triggers.	Persistent

B. Analytics Optimization Tokens (Anonymized)

These lightweight, self-contained server cookies keep track of broad traffic flows (like determining if our visitors are originating from France or the UK) without connecting your IP address to any real-world identity files.

Cookie Name	Provider / Source	Purpose Description	Retention
_ga	Google Analytics	Generates anonymized numerical tracking strings to map total page visibility metrics safely without identifying individual properties.	2 Years
_gid	Google Analytics	Records a random identifier block to cluster user actions over a single afternoon stay on the site map.	24 Hours

4. How to Control or Erase Stored Elements

If you prefer to browse without any tracking history blocks, you can cleanly manage or erase cookies directly within your local device browser settings panel:

Apple Safari: Navigate to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Privacy > Block All Cookies.
Google Chrome: Click the lock symbol inside the URL block row > Site Settings > Clear Browsing Cache Data.
Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > History > Clear Data Nodes.

Please note that wiping functional session items may require you to re-enter selection parameters if you reload your booking forms at a later time.
