Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that may be stored on a user's device while browsing a website.

The website may also use browser local storage technologies that allow certain preferences to be stored directly on the user's device.

Villa Immobiliari uses only the tools necessary for the features currently available on the website and the external services described in this policy.

2. Tools necessary for the operation of the website

The website uses technical tools necessary to provide functionality requested by the user.

In particular, the website may store:

Language preference

The website remembers the language selected by the user so that the user can continue browsing the website in the chosen language.

This preference is used exclusively for functional purposes.

Favourite properties

When a user saves a property as a favourite, this information is stored locally in the browser being used.

This feature allows users to find their saved properties again without creating a personal account.

The information remains on the device until it is removed by the user or deleted through the browser's settings or stored data.

Staff-only area

The administrative area uses technical session and security cookies necessary to authenticate authorised staff, maintain their session and protect operations carried out within the restricted area.

These tools are used exclusively for technical and security purposes.

3. Google Maps

The website uses Google Maps to display maps, geographical areas and information relating to the location of properties or the agency.

Maps load automatically on pages where they are displayed.

When maps are loaded or used, the user's browser may communicate directly with Google's services and transmit technical information, including the user's IP address and information relating to the request and the device being used.

Any use of cookies or other technologies by Google is governed by the terms and privacy information applicable to Google's services. For further information, please see Google's Privacy Policy.

4. YouTube

Some pages of the website may contain videos hosted on YouTube.

Before the user selects Play, the website displays a preview without loading the YouTube player in the user's browser.

The player is loaded from youtube-nocookie.com only after the user interacts with the video.

From that point, the browser may communicate with YouTube and Google, which may process technical information and use cookies or other storage technologies in accordance with their own terms and privacy policies.

5. Analytics, profiling and advertising

Villa Immobiliari does not currently use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel or other tools operated by Villa Immobiliari for advertising profiling purposes on the website.

If analytics, profiling or advertising tools requiring user consent are introduced in the future, this policy and, where necessary, the relevant consent management mechanisms will be updated before such tools are activated.

6. Managing cookies and browser data

Users can manage or delete cookies and other locally stored data through their browser settings.

Deleting or blocking certain technical data may remove saved preferences or prevent some website features from functioning correctly.

For example, deleting browser data may remove the selected language or properties saved as favourites.

7. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated in the event of changes to applicable law or to the technologies and services used by the website.

The updated version will be published on this page together with the date of the latest update.
