Cookie Policy
What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.
Current as of: 2 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Estarvio uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our resort guides, reviews, and hospitality catalogue. It sets out what those technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
1. Cookies explained
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on the device you browse with. They are used throughout the web to keep platforms running smoothly, hold navigational preferences, and generate analytics.
We call cookies placed by Estarvio first-party cookies. Third-party cookies originate elsewhere and power embedded maps, typography services, and aggregated measurement.
2. What we use cookies for
- Essential cookies
- Required for core functionality, security verification, and navigation across the publication.
- Measurement cookies
- These gather aggregate data on how visitors move through our reviews and ranking tables so we can refine the editorial presentation.
- Preference cookies
- These retain preferences such as regional display settings, layout choices, and saved filters between sessions.
3. Detailed classification
| Group | Primary purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Core session | Holds navigation state so pages render consistently. | Session |
| Measurement | Records how long pages are read and how readers move between them. | 12 months |
| Reader preferences | Remembers your layout choices and saved destination filters. | 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:
- Review the cookies already stored and delete them individually or by site.
- Prevent third-party tracking cookies from being set at all.
- 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.
Please note that rejecting or disabling essential cookies may limit or degrade access to interactive ranking tables and catalogue features.
Choices you can exercise

- Sale or sharing of personal information
- Under the CCPA/CPRA and equivalent statutes elsewhere, you may refuse the sale or sharing of your personal information with third parties. Although we do not sell personal information in the traditional sense, limited data may reach trusted partners so that we can provide or improve our services.
- Cookies and tracking
- Cookies and similar tracking tools can be managed or declined via your browser configuration or the consent controls published on this website.
- Promotional email
- Promotional email and newsletters can be discontinued through the unsubscribe link in any message or by contacting us directly.
