Cookie Notice
What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.
Last revised: 2 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Arintova 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 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.
We call cookies placed by Arintova first-party cookies. Third-party cookies originate elsewhere and power embedded maps, typography services, and aggregated measurement.
2. Our purposes
- Cookies we cannot switch off
- Needed to deliver basic platform functions, protect forms, and move between pages.
- Measurement cookies
- They collect aggregated information about how readers use our reviews, rankings, and guides, which helps us improve pacing and presentation.
- Cookies that remember your settings
- They remember your display region, layout preference, and any filters you have applied, so those persist between visits.
3. Cookie categories in detail
| Group | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Core session | Holds navigation state so pages render consistently. | Session |
| Platform analytics | Tracks reading time and interaction patterns in aggregate. | 12 months |
| User settings | Keeps interface options and filter selections between visits. | 6 months |
4. Controlling 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.
- Restrict cookies from specific domains, or request a prompt before any cookie is placed.
- Clear all stored cookies when the browser window closes.
Be aware that turning off essential cookies will restrict some interactive ranking tables and catalogue functions.
Opt-out and your choices
Control over the collection and use of your personal information rests with you. Where local law provides for it, the following choices apply:
- Sharing and sale of your data
- Where the CCPA/CPRA in California or similar laws in other jurisdictions apply, you can opt out of your personal information being sold or shared with third parties. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of the term, though some data is shared with trusted partners to deliver or improve the service.
- 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.
- Marketing communications
- Opt out of promotional messages and newsletters using the unsubscribe link in any communication, or by writing to us.
- Withdrawal of consent
- Any consent you have given may be withdrawn at any point. Doing so does not render unlawful the processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Write to [email protected], or use the contact form on this site, to exercise any right or lodge an opt-out request.
5. Updates
Arintova may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect operational, technological, or legal change. We encourage readers to check this page periodically.
