Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your device when you visit it.

Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, scripts and local storage, may also be used to store information or access information on your device.

Cookies can help a website function, remember preferences, measure website usage and support advertising.

3. Categories of cookies

Our website groups cookies and similar technologies into three categories, named as they appear in the cookie settings: Necessary, Analytics and Marketing.

Necessary

These cookies are required for the website or a service requested by the visitor to function properly.

Today the only one is the cookie that remembers your cookie choices. Your dates, guests and rooms travel in the page address, not in a cookie.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent where they are genuinely necessary for the service requested by the user or for the transmission of a communication.

Analytics

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited and how visitors navigate the site.

We may use Google Analytics for this purpose.

Analytics cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary will only be activated after the visitor has provided the required consent.

Marketing

Advertising cookies and similar technologies may be used to measure advertising effectiveness, understand interactions with advertisements and support relevant advertising.

We may use technologies provided by:

• Google Ads;
• Meta, including the Meta Pixel or related tools, where enabled.

These technologies will only be activated after the visitor has provided the required consent, where consent is required by law.

4. Third-party services

Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed or accessed by third-party service providers.

Depending on the services enabled on the website, these providers may include Google and Meta.

Their own privacy and cookie policies explain how they process information.

• Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Google information about advertising: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
• Meta Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/

The presence of a provider in this Policy does not mean that every technology or cookie associated with that provider is active on every visit.

The actual technologies used depend on the website configuration and the visitor’s consent choices.

5. Consent and cookie settings

When you first visit our website, a cookie notice at the foot of the page asks what you agree to. Analytics and Marketing are off until you switch them on. No analytics or advertising technology is loaded before you give your consent.

From the notice you can:

• Accept all non-essential cookies (“Accept all”).
• Reject all non-essential cookies (“Reject all”), offered alongside “Accept all” and just as easy to choose.
• Switch Analytics and Marketing on or off individually and save your choice (“Save choices”).
• Read what each category does and which cookies it sets (“Learn more”).

The website remains fully usable whatever you choose, and while you have not yet chosen.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through “Cookie settings” at the foot of every page. When you withdraw consent for a category, we delete the cookies that category placed on our own domain and stop the related technologies. Cookies set by a provider on its own domain (such as Google’s IDE or Meta’s fr) can only be removed from your browser settings.

Your choice is stored for 180 days. After that, or if this Policy changes in a way that affects your choice, we will ask again.

Where your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, Marketing stays off unless you switch it on yourself.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

6. How to manage cookies through your browser

You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a notification before a cookie is stored.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect some website functions, including reservation or preference features.

7. Cookie inventory

The cookies below are the ones our website may set. The same list is available under “Learn more” in the cookie settings. Analytics and Marketing cookies are only set if you consent to that category, and only while the related service is enabled on the website.

Durations are the periods each provider documents for its cookies and may change on the provider’s side. A first-party cookie is set on our own domain; a third-party cookie is set on the provider’s domain.

8. Legal basis

The use of cookies and similar technologies is governed by applicable Portuguese and European law, including Article 5(3) of Portuguese Law No. 41/2004, as amended, and the GDPR where personal data is processed.

Consent is required for storing information on, or accessing information from, a user’s device unless the relevant technology is strictly necessary for the transmission of a communication or for providing a service explicitly requested by the user.

9. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Policy when our website, technology providers or legal requirements change.

The latest version will be published on our website with its update date.
