Cookie Policy
What cookies this site sets, why they exist, and how to control them.
Last reviewed: 2 September 2026
Here we describe the cookies and comparable technologies Draveluna 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. What cookies are
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 Draveluna first-party cookies. Third-party cookies originate elsewhere and power embedded maps, typography services, and aggregated measurement.
2. Our purposes
- Cookies we cannot switch off
- These support essential operation, security checks, and navigation through our editorial pages.
- Analytics cookies
- They collect aggregated information about how readers use our reviews, rankings, and guides, which helps us improve pacing and presentation.
- Cookies that remember your settings
- These retain preferences such as regional display settings, layout choices, and saved filters between sessions.
3. The cookies we set
| Group | Primary purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Core session | Holds navigation state so pages render consistently. | Session |
| Platform analytics | Measures reading duration and page interaction patterns. | 12 months |
| Preferences | Keeps interface options and filter selections between visits. | 6 months |
4. Managing cookies
Whether to accept cookies is entirely your decision. Browser settings give you control, and most browsers 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.
- Clear all stored cookies when the browser window closes.
Please note that rejecting or disabling essential cookies may limit or degrade access to interactive ranking tables and catalogue features.

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.
- Cookie controls
- Cookies and similar tracking tools can be managed or declined via your browser configuration or the consent controls published on this website.

- You can stop receiving promotional email or newsletters at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any message, or by contacting us directly.
