Cookie Statement

What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.

Last revised: 2 September 2026

Here we describe the cookies and comparable technologies Purlanza 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.

We call cookies placed by Purlanza first-party cookies. Third-party cookies originate elsewhere and power embedded maps, typography services, and aggregated measurement.

2. How we use cookies

Cookies we cannot switch off
Needed to deliver basic platform functions, protect forms, and move between pages.
Measurement cookies
They tell us in aggregate which reviews and guides are read and for how long, informing how we structure future coverage.
Cookies that remember your settings
They remember your display region, layout preference, and any filters you have applied, so those persist between visits.

4. Managing cookies

The choice to allow or refuse cookies is yours alone. Your browser provides the controls, and most will let you:

  • See which cookies are held on your device and delete them selectively.
  • Block third-party tracking cookies entirely.
  • Block cookies from named domains or ask to be warned before one is created.
  • Delete all cookies each time you close the browser.

If you block essential cookies, certain interactive ranking tools and catalogue features will not work correctly.

Choices you can exercise

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
You may opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information with third parties where laws such as the CCPA/CPRA in California, or comparable legislation elsewhere, provide for it. While we do not sell personal information in the conventional sense, some data may be shared with trusted partners in order to provide or improve the service.
Cookies and tracking
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
Opt out of promotional messages and newsletters using the unsubscribe link in any communication, or by writing to us.
Consent withdrawal
Any consent you have given may be withdrawn at any point. Doing so does not render unlawful the processing that occurred before withdrawal.

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

Purlanza may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect operational, technological, or legal change. We encourage readers to check this page periodically.
