This Cookie Policy explains how Coastal Villas & Yachts (CVAY.com) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognize your device and can support essential website functions, remember preferences, and provide information about how the website is used.

Similar technologies, including scripts, pixels, tags, and local storage, may serve comparable purposes. In this policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies.”

2. How We Use Cookies

CVAY uses cookies to support the operation of the website, understand how visitors interact with our content, and improve the overall website experience.

Depending on the services active on CVAY.com, cookies may be used for:

Functional purposes
These cookies are necessary for the website to operate correctly or to provide functionality requested by the visitor. They may support functions such as security, navigation, forms, and remembering privacy preferences.

Analytics and statistics
We use analytics technologies to understand how visitors find and use CVAY.com, which pages and editorial features are visited, and how visitors interact with the website. This information helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of CVAY.

Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies are only activated after the visitor has given consent.

Marketing and third-party services
Some website features or campaigns may use technologies provided by third parties, including social media and advertising platforms. These technologies may be capable of recognising visitors across websites or measuring interactions with campaigns.

Where consent is legally required, these technologies will not be activated until the visitor has made the appropriate choice through our consent banner.

3. Google Analytics

CVAY uses Google Analytics to understand website traffic and visitor interaction. Google Analytics may process information such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser information, referral sources, and interactions with the website.

CVAY uses a consent management system in conjunction with Google Consent Mode to communicate visitors’ consent choices to supported Google services.

Where consent is required, analytics storage and related technologies are controlled according to the visitor’s consent preferences.

4. Social Media and Embedded Content

CVAY may include links to, or content associated with, third-party platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and other online services.

Third-party services may use their own cookies or similar technologies when their content or functionality is loaded. The processing of information by these providers is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies.

Where required, CVAY will request consent before non-essential third-party technologies are activated.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When visiting CVAY.com, you may be presented with a consent banner that allows you to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies.

You can change your preferences afterwards through the cookie settings available on our website.

You may also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain functional cookies may affect parts of the website.

6. Consent

Essential cookies do not require consent where they are necessary for the operation of the website or a service explicitly requested by the visitor.

For cookies and technologies requiring consent under applicable privacy legislation, CVAY will request permission before activating them.

Visitors may withdraw or change their consent at any time through the cookie settings provided on CVAY.com.

7. Cookies Used on CVAY.com

The specific cookies and services used by CVAY.com may change as the website develops.

Our consent management system maintains information about detected cookies and services and their purposes. The cookie information presented through our cookie settings should therefore be consulted for the most current details.
