Last updated: 29 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how La Rana e L’Ulivo uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, browse our accommodation, make an enquiry or complete a booking.

This policy should be read together with our separate Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can be used to:

make a website function correctly;
maintain a secure browsing or booking session;
remember preferences;
support online bookings and payments;
remember your cookie choices; and
where you have consented, collect information about how a website is used.

Cookies may be either:

Session cookies, which normally disappear when you close your browser; or
Persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.

Cookies may also be:

First-party cookies, placed by our website; or
Third-party cookies, placed by another organisation providing a service through our website.

2. Who is responsible for the website?

The Data Controller for La Rana e L’Ulivo is:

Deborah Lynda Promosso

The website and booking system are operated using Lodgify.

3. Cookies used on our website

The cookies and similar technologies used through our website may fall into the following categories.

Strictly necessary and technical cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website or booking service to function correctly.

They may be used for purposes including:

website security;
maintaining a browsing session;
page navigation;
displaying accommodation information;
checking availability;
operating the booking engine;
maintaining information entered during a booking;
remembering language, currency or similar functional preferences;
preventing fraud or misuse;
processing transactions securely; and
remembering your cookie-consent choices.

These cookies are used because they are necessary to provide a service requested by you.

Under Italian cookie rules, technical cookies do not normally require your prior consent, although you must still be informed that they are being used. Garante Privacy

Functional cookies

Functional cookies may be used to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features.

Examples may include remembering:

language preferences;
display choices;
location or currency preferences; or
other settings selected during your visit.

Where a functional cookie is not strictly necessary and consent is legally required, it will only be activated after you have given your consent.

Analytics cookies

Analytics technologies may be used to help understand how visitors use the website, for example:

which pages are visited;
how visitors navigate around the website;
whether particular features are being used; and
general website performance.

Under Italian guidance, certain analytics cookies may be treated in a similar way to technical cookies only where specific safeguards are met, including use for aggregate statistics and restrictions on identifying or combining user information. Otherwise, consent is required. Garante Privacy

Where our website uses analytics that require consent, those technologies will not be activated until you have chosen to allow them.

Marketing or profiling cookies

If marketing, advertising or profiling technologies are introduced on our website, they will only be used after you have given the required consent.

These technologies may be capable of recognising a visitor, measuring advertising activity or building information about browsing behaviour.

La Rana e L’Ulivo does not rely on these cookies merely because you visit the site. Where they are used, your consent must be obtained first.

Italian law requires prior consent for profiling cookies and other non-essential tracking technologies. Garante Privacy

4. Lodgify cookies and technologies

Our website is built and operated using Lodgify.

Lodgify may use cookies and similar technologies to provide functions including:

website hosting;
secure page operation;
booking-session management;
accommodation availability;
reservation processing;
guest communications;
website preferences; and
cookie-consent management.

Lodgify provides an EU-oriented cookie-consent banner that allows visitors to customise, reject all or accept all applicable cookies. Lodgify states that this feature is disabled by default and must be enabled by the website owner through the Website Builder settings. Lodgify

La Rana e L’Ulivo is responsible for configuring the website appropriately and for providing this Cookie Policy.

5. Stripe and payment-related technologies

Online payments through our website are processed by Stripe.

When you proceed to make a payment, Stripe may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes including:

securely processing your payment;
preventing fraud;
authenticating transactions;
maintaining payment-session security;
detecting suspicious activity; and
complying with legal and regulatory obligations.

Some Stripe technologies may be strictly necessary for secure payment processing.

Stripe maintains its own cookie policy describing how it uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with its services. Stripe

6. Social media and external links

Our website may contain links to external websites or services, including Facebook and Instagram.

Simply displaying a standard link does not necessarily mean that the third-party service places a cookie through our website.

However, if embedded social-media content or other third-party functionality is used, the relevant provider may use cookies or similar technologies.

Where such technologies require prior consent, they should only be activated after you have made the relevant choice through the cookie-consent system.

Once you leave our website and visit another service, that organisation's own privacy and cookie policies apply.

7. Your cookie choices

When you first visit our website, you may be shown a cookie-consent banner.

Where non-essential cookies are available, you should be able to choose whether to:

Accept all cookies

Reject non-essential cookies

Customise your preferences

If you decline non-essential cookies, the website should continue to operate using only cookies and technologies necessary for the service.

The Italian Data Protection Authority states that, on first access, the default position should prevent non-technical tracking unless the visitor actively chooses to consent. Garante Privacy

Closing or rejecting the cookie banner must not be treated as consent to non-essential cookies.

8. Withdrawing or changing your consent

You can withdraw or change your cookie preferences at any time.

Where available, use the cookie preferences or cookie-management option provided through the website.

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

Italian guidance requires visitors to be able to modify their cookie choices easily after they have made them. Garante Privacy

9. Managing cookies through your browser

You may also manage or delete cookies using your web browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to:

see which cookies have been stored;
delete cookies;
block cookies from particular websites;
block third-party cookies; or
prevent cookies from being accepted.

Please be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website, booking engine or payment service from working properly.

10. How long cookies are kept

Different cookies have different retention periods.

Some are deleted automatically when you close your browser.

Others remain for a specified period in order to remember preferences, maintain security or record your cookie choices.

Where required, more detailed information about individual cookies, their purpose and their retention period should be available through the website's cookie-preference tool.

Italian guidance requires the extended cookie notice to explain the purposes of cookies and the relevant retention periods. Garante Privacy

11. Consent records

We may use a technical cookie or similar mechanism to remember and record your cookie choices.

This allows the website to recognise whether you have accepted, rejected or customised the use of cookies.

A consent-recording cookie is itself regarded as a technical mechanism and does not normally require separate consent. The Italian Garante expressly recognises the use of a technical cookie to record consent choices. Garante Privacy

12. Third-party providers

Depending on the functions you use, cookies or similar technologies may be associated with:

Lodgify — website and booking technology
Stripe — secure payment processing

Other third-party services will only apply where they are actually integrated into our website.

Their own privacy and cookie policies govern any processing for which they are independently responsible.

13. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if:

our website changes;
we introduce or remove website features;
our service providers change;
the cookies used by the website change; or
applicable legal requirements change.

The latest version will be published on this website with the date of the most recent update.

14. Further information about personal data
