Cookie Policy
What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.
Current as of: 2 September 2026
Here we describe the cookies and comparable technologies Bervolta places when you read our travel guides, resort reviews, and hotel catalogue — what they do, why they exist, and what control you retain over them.
1. About cookies
A cookie is a small file stored on your device by a website you visit. Operators rely on them to make sites function properly, to retain user preferences, and to produce aggregate reporting.
Cookies set by Bervolta are first-party cookies. Those set by anyone else are third-party cookies, and they support features such as embedded maps, web typography, and aggregated visitor measurement.
2. Our purposes
- Essential cookies
- Needed to deliver basic platform functions, protect forms, and move between pages.
- Analytics cookies
- They collect aggregated information about how readers use our reviews, rankings, and guides, which helps us improve pacing and presentation.
- Preference cookies
- These retain preferences such as regional display settings, layout choices, and saved filters between sessions.
3. Cookie categories in detail
| Category | Primary purpose | Lifespan |

4. Controlling cookies
The choice to allow or refuse cookies is yours alone. Your browser provides the controls, and most will let you:
- Inspect stored cookies and remove them one at a time or per website.
- Refuse all third-party tracking cookies.
- Deny cookies from particular sites, or configure a warning before each new cookie.
- Erase every stored cookie automatically at the end of a session.
Be aware that turning off essential cookies will restrict some interactive ranking tables and catalogue functions.
Opt-out and your choices
You have the right to control how your personal information is collected and used. Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may exercise the following opt-out choices:
- Sale or sharing of personal information
- 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.
- Tracking technologies
- You can manage or refuse cookies and tracking technologies through your browser settings, or through the cookie consent tools provided on this site.
- Marketing messages
- Promotional email and newsletters can be discontinued through the unsubscribe link in any message or by contacting us directly.
- Withdrawal of consent
- Where you previously consented to processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it.
To exercise any of these rights, or to make an opt-out request, please contact us at [email protected] or use our contact form.
5. Revisions to this policy
We may amend this Cookie Policy to keep pace with operational, technical, or regulatory developments. Reviewing this page occasionally is the best way to stay informed.
