What is a Cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are stored on a user's device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when visiting a website.
Cookies enable the website to recognise the user's device, although not specifically the individual using it, and help improve the browsing experience.
Cookies cannot be used to retrieve any data from a device's hard drive, transmit computer viruses, or identify and use email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the browser and device used to access the website.

Why Do We Use Cookies?
Cookies are generally used for various purposes, including enabling efficient navigation between pages, storing user preferences and, more generally, improving the browsing experience by personalising the website according to the user's browsing habits and profile.
Cookies may also help ensure that advertisements displayed online are more relevant to users and their interests.

Which Cookies Do We Use?
The AnitaVillas.com website uses the following types of cookies:

Session Cookies. Session cookies are active only for the duration of a browsing session and are used solely for transmitting information over an electronic communications network or, where strictly necessary, for providing and operating a service expressly requested by the user. These cookies are automatically deleted when the user leaves the website or closes the browser. They are generally used to facilitate access to services available on the website, authenticate registered users and store items added to a shopping cart.

Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain active across multiple visits. They are used to remember user preferences and store actions performed during previous visits to the website. Persistent cookies may remain stored on the user's device until their expiry date or until they are deleted by the user. Within these two main categories, the following distinctions can be made:

  • First-Party Cookies. These cookies are set directly by the website being visited, in this case AnitaVillas.com, and can only be read by that website.
    Examples include cookies that remember accommodation preferences selected by the user while browsing the website.
  • Third-Party Cookies. Third-party cookies are used to collect information anonymously, such as analytics data and browsing statistics. This technology uses information relating to visits made by users to this website and to third-party websites displaying AnitaVillas.com advertisements in order to show advertisements tailored to users' interests. Third-party cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.

Categories of Cookies Used on AnitaVillas.com
The cookies used on this website may belong to one of the following categories.

Technical Cookies
User consent is not required for the use of these cookies.
Technical cookies may be divided into navigation or session cookies, analytics cookies and functionality cookies.

  • Navigation and Session Cookies. These cookies ensure the proper functioning and use of the website and enable users to browse according to a number of selected criteria (for example, language preferences), thereby improving the service provided.
    Authentication cookies also fall within this category.
    Without these cookies, it would not be possible to provide essential services such as billing and booking management.
    If users choose to disable these cookies, they will still be able to browse AnitaVillas.com but may not be able to complete bookings or access certain website features.
  • Analytics Cookies. These cookies, also known as performance cookies, are used directly by AnitaVillas.com to collect anonymous and aggregated statistical information (no identifying data such as names or surnames are collected) regarding the number of visitors and how users interact with the website.
    The information collected may include, for example:
    - the pages most frequently visited;
    - the websites from which users arrive;
    - whether users receive error messages from visited pages;
    - statistical information relating to the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
    Performance cookies allow the Company to analyse user behaviour and optimise the operation of the website and the services provided.
  • Functionality Cookies. These cookies allow the website to remember user preferences (such as username, language or location) and provide enhanced and more personalised features.
    They may also be used to remember changes made by users to certain parts of the website, such as text size or display preferences, and to provide services requested by users or prevent services previously declined from being offered again.
    This category includes both first-party and third-party cookies.

Profiling Cookies
The use of these cookies requires the user's prior consent.
Profiling cookies, including advertising and targeting cookies, are used by AnitaVillas.com, its advertising service providers and/or authorised third parties to provide users with a personalised browsing experience through the display of advertisements tailored to their interests. These cookies are also used to analyse online interactions and activities between users and AnitaVillas.com.

Managing Cookie Preferences
Users may choose at any time whether to accept or reject the use of cookies by providing or withdrawing consent through the relevant section of this website or by modifying their browser settings.
Instructions for managing cookies in the most commonly used browsers are available at the following links:

If users access the Internet through more than one browser (for example, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Firefox), the cookie management procedure must be carried out separately for each browser. Likewise, if users access the Internet using multiple devices (for example, from home and work), cookie preferences must be configured on each browser installed on each device. Please note that disabling all cookies, including navigation and functionality cookies, may affect the proper operation of AnitaVillas.com and prevent access to certain features, including the ability to complete bookings.

Third-Party Plugins
The website may also incorporate plugins and/or social media buttons in order to facilitate the sharing of content through users' preferred social networks. Such plugins do not directly set cookies. However, if a cookie has already been installed on the user's device, these plugins may be able to read and use it in accordance with the settings established by the relevant social network. The collection and use of information by such third parties are governed by their respective privacy policies, which users are encouraged to consult.

Use of Other Websites
AnitaVillas.com may contain links to other websites. Users are encouraged to read the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party websites they visit. Please note that the cookie preferences selected on this website do not apply to websites operated by other organisations.

Sharing of Information
Data collected through cookies are processed by employees and collaborators of the Company who have been specifically authorised or appointed to carry out such processing activities. Information collected by AnitaVillas.com through the use of cookies will not be disclosed to third parties, except where necessary to service providers and suppliers engaged by the Company, including advertising service providers and IT service providers (such as hosting providers). Any such processing will take place solely within the limits of the specific purposes for which the data were collected.

International Data Transfers
Where personal data collected through cookies are transferred to countries outside the European Union that do not provide an adequate level of protection, such transfers will take place only after the Company and the recipient have entered into specific agreements containing appropriate safeguards and protections for personal data, as required by applicable law.

Your Rights
At any time, users may request information regarding the processing of their personal data and may obtain access to, rectification or updating of such data. Users may also request the erasure of personal data, restriction of processing and object to processing, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR). Users also have the right to withdraw their consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to such withdrawal. Furthermore, users have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali), Piazza di Montecitorio 121, 00186 Rome, Italy.
