Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Emotional Sicily uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at www.emotionalsicily.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They serve various purposes: enabling the site to function correctly, remembering your preferences, analysing how the site is used, and supporting marketing activities.

2. Types of cookies we use

a. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, form submission, and access to secure areas. They do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and do not require your consent.

b. Functional cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember your preferences and choices (e.g. language settings) to provide a more personalised experience. These are activated with your consent.

c. Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, allowing us to measure performance, improve content, and enhance user experience. They collect data in an anonymised or pseudonymous form. These are only activated with your consent.

Provider: Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC)

d. Marketing cookies

These cookies are used to track users across websites and display relevant content or advertising based on interests. They are placed by third-party advertising and social media platforms. These are only activated with your explicit consent.

Potential providers: Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram), Google Ads

3. Cookie inventory

Below is a summary of the main cookies that may be present on this website:

Note: The specific cookies active on the site may vary depending on third-party services in use. The complete and up-to-date list is available in the cookie preference panel.

4. Consent management

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will appear allowing you to:

• Accept all cookies
• Reject all non-essential cookies
• Configure your preferences by category

Your consent is recorded and stored. You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Manage cookies” link in the footer of every page.

Rejecting cookies will not affect the core functionality of the website, though some features or integrations may be limited.

Note: Once a Consent Management Platform (CMP) is selected and implemented, this section will be updated to reference the specific tool used (e.g. Cookiebot, CookieYes, Axeptio).

5. Legal basis

The use of non-essential cookies (analytics, functional, and marketing) is based on your explicit consent, in accordance with Spanish law (LSSI-CE), the AEPD Guidelines on Cookies (July 2020), and the GDPR.

Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement, as they are technically essential for the website to operate.

6. Third-party cookies and data transfers

Some cookies are set by third-party services integrated into our website. These providers may process your data in accordance with their own privacy policies, including transfers outside the EEA (e.g. Google and Meta operate servers in the United States).

In such cases, appropriate safeguards are applied, including Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, adequacy decisions.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of the relevant third-party providers for further information.

7. Managing cookies through your browser

In addition to the consent panel on this website, you can manage or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, refer to the support pages of your browser provider (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.).

8. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies used, or applicable law. The most recent version will always be available on this page.
