Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how visitors interact with their site.

Cookies can be:

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
• First-Party Cookies: Set by the website you are visiting (in this case, Piccola Travel).
• Third-Party Cookies: Set by external services or domains other than the one you are visiting.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information, but they may be linked to personal data we store about you.

Piccola Travel uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Website Operation: Enabling core functionality such as page navigation, secure areas, and form submissions.
• Performance and Analytics: Collecting anonymous data about how visitors use our site to help us improve performance and user experience.
• Functionality and Preferences: Remembering your choices and preferences (such as language, region, and travel interests) to provide enhanced features.
• Personalization: Tailoring content and recommendations based on your browsing behavior and travel preferences.
• Advertising and Marketing: Delivering relevant travel offers and measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
• Security: Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity and protecting user accounts.

Two third-party tools are used on this website. They are listed below with exactly when each one runs:

• Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-0H2W8DJLP3): Our analytics tool. It runs on every visit and tells us how many people use the site, which pages they read, and how they arrived. We use it to improve the website. Google Privacy Policy
• Meta Pixel (pixel ID 2018972585452666): Our advertising tool. It loads only after you click Accept on the cookie banner, and never before. If you click Decline, or leave the site without choosing, it is never loaded and Meta receives nothing from your visit. Meta Cookies Policy
• Embedded Content: Third-party content you choose to load, such as the office location map on our contact page, may set its own cookies. The map does not load until you click to open it.

We do not run advertising-network cookies beyond the Meta Pixel described above, and we do not sell your information. We do not control the cookies set by these providers; review their policies for more detail.

You have control over how cookies are used on our website:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View all cookies stored on your device
• Delete existing cookies
• Block all cookies from being set
• Block cookies from specific websites
• Set preferences for different cookie types

Note: Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality and your user experience.

Our Cookie Consent Tool

On your first visit you will see a banner at the bottom of the page with two choices:

• Accept — the Meta Pixel is loaded and advertising cookies are set.
• Decline — the Meta Pixel is never loaded and no advertising cookies are set.

Your choice is stored in your own browser under the name pt_consent. It is not sent to us and it is not shared. The banner does not reappear once you have chosen. To change your answer, clear this site's data in your browser settings and the banner will appear again on your next visit.

Google Analytics is not covered by this banner. It runs on every visit as described in section 4.

Industry Opt-Out Tools

You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through:

• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:

• Changes in the cookies we use
• New third-party services or partnerships
• Updates to legal or regulatory requirements
• Improvements to our privacy practices

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy indicates the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated via website notice or email where appropriate.
