Cookies

Which cookies this site uses, who sets them, and how to say no without losing anything.

This page says which cookies and similar tools ViaggiSingle uses, what they are for, and how you can change your mind. The short version: the whole site works even if you decline everything. No page, no score and no profile depends on your consent.

What you see when you arrive

On your first visit a bar appears at the bottom of the page with two buttons, "Accept" and "Decline", with equal weight. Until you choose, no Google script is loaded. The Italian data protection authority requires consent to be an active choice and declining to be as easy as accepting: that is why there are no pre-ticked boxes and scrolling the page does not count as a yes.1

Your choice is saved in your browser, in a value called vs-consent. We do not receive it and it is not a cookie: it stays on your device. If you decline, we do not ask again until you clear the site data or use the "Change your cookie choice" link at the bottom of every page.

Technical cookies: none

The site does not use cookies to work. The "I travel as…" profile and your cookie choice are saved in the browser's local storage, not in cookies, and are never sent to our servers. We collect basic site statistics with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which according to Cloudflare uses no cookies or other client-side state to measure visits.2 That part needs no consent.

Third-party cookies: Google, only if you accept

To understand which pages are read and where visits come from we use Google Tag Manager, a container that loads Google's measurement tools. We use it in "consent mode": every category starts as denied and the container is loaded only after you click "Accept".3 If you decline, Google Tag Manager is not even downloaded.

The tool loaded by the container is Google Analytics 4. According to Google's documentation, it sets these cookies:4

Cookie Set by Purpose Duration
_ga Google Analytics Tells one browser from another 2 years
_ga_<id> Google Analytics Keeps the state of the visit session 2 years

If the container ever loads other tools, we will add them to this table before switching them on, and the banner will be shown to you again.

Google processes the collected data under its own privacy policy. We have not enabled personalised advertising and we do not link the statistics to the traveller profile you pick on the site: that profile never leaves your browser, as the Privacy page explains.

How to change your mind

  • On the site: at the bottom of every page there is a "Change your cookie choice" link, which reopens the bar.
  • In the browser: clearing the site data for viaggisingle.it removes both your choice and Google's cookies.
  • In the browser settings you can block third-party cookies for every site. The site keeps working.
