2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on a user’s device.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for:

  • essential website functionality;
  • security and session management;
  • booking functionality;
  • online-payment functionality;
  • user preferences;
  • statistics;
  • remembering consent choices;
  • booking-source attribution.

3. Categories of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These technologies are required for essential website, booking, payment or security functionality.

Where permitted by applicable law, they may operate without prior consent.

Preference Cookies

These may be used to remember optional user choices.

Statistics Technologies

These may be used to understand how the website is used.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing or advertising technologies, where present, are activated only after the required consent.

Booking-source attribution is not used for behavioural advertising or cross-site profiling.

4. Cookie Consent Management

The website uses a first-party consent-management system.

Users may choose:

  • Accept all
  • Reject optional cookies
  • Customize

Consent preferences are remembered for a maximum of 180 days.

Users may change or withdraw their choice at any time through Cookie settings.

5. Booking Source Attribution

The website may record information concerning the source from which a customer reaches the booking process.

This may include:

  • referring website;
  • referral domain;
  • UTM or campaign parameters;
  • commercial or referral partner.

This information may be used to:

  • identify booking sources;
  • associate reservations with referral channels;
  • manage commercial attribution and commissions where applicable;
  • obtain internal statistics.

Operation without optional cookies

Where technically possible, booking-source information is transmitted through the website and booking process without placing a persistent attribution cookie on the user’s device.

When the booking is completed, relevant source information may be stored together with the reservation.

Rejecting optional cookies therefore does not necessarily prevent the source of a booking from being recorded.

Optional attribution cookie

Where the relevant consent has been provided, the website may use:

Cookie: asa_booking_source_consent
Provider: cookingclasspoggioregini.it
Purpose: remembering booking/referral source
Activation: after the relevant consent
Maximum duration: up to 1 year unless configured for a shorter period

This cookie is not used for behavioural advertising or cross-site profiling.
