Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Cookies are small text files that the websites you visit save on your device. This page explains which cookies and similar technologies the Villa Natìa website uses and how to manage them.

1. Technical cookies (necessary)

These are essential for the website to function and do not require consent. The website uses only a preference stored locally (localStorage) to remember your cookie consent choice:

• va_consent — stores your choice ("essential only" or "accept all"). Duration: persistent until manually removed.

2. Third-party cookies

These are activated only after your consent:

• Google Maps (Google Ireland Ltd.) — the interactive map is loaded only if you accept third-party cookies or click "Load the map". Google may set cookies and process data such as your IP address. Find out more: policies.google.com/privacy.
• Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) — measures which pages are visited and how visitors reach the site. It is loaded only if you choose "Accept all"; it sets its own cookies and processes data such as your IP address, which is anonymised. Advertising and profiling are switched off. Find out more: policies.google.com/privacy.

3. Visit statistics without cookies

The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics (Cloudflare, Inc.) to know how many people visit the site, which country they come from, which pages they read and on which device. This tool does not use cookies, stores nothing on your device and does not follow you over time, so it does not require your consent. Data is collected in aggregate form and cannot identify you. Find out more: cloudflare.com/web-analytics.

4. Typographic fonts

The fonts used by the website are hosted locally on our server: loading them does not involve any transfer of data (such as your IP address) to third-party services.

5. Managing your consent

On your first visit, a banner is shown that lets you accept all cookies or only the essential ones. You can change your mind at any time: at the bottom of every page there is a Manage cookies link, which forgets your choice and shows you the banner again. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.

You can also manage or disable cookies from your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
