Cookie Policy
Rialto Travel ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website rialto.travel (the "Site"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what we use them for, and how you can manage them.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve functionality, and provide information to site operators.
Cookies can be "session" cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services the website uses ("third-party cookies"). Websites can also keep small amounts of data in your browser's local storage, which works much like a cookie.
2. Cookies We Use
All of the cookies we set are first-party cookies. We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or cross-site behavioral tracking.
2.1 Strictly Necessary
These cookies are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They keep you signed in (for up to 30 days), let you through the Site's access gate, remember an invitation you have accepted, and protect sign-in and application forms against forgery. Most security cookies expire within an hour.
2.2 Preferences
We use your browser's local storage to remember your recent searches and display settings, such as the layout of the results page. This data stays on your device.
2.3 Attribution
When you first visit the Site, we set a cookie that records how you arrived: the referring website, the page you landed on, and any campaign tags in the link. It lasts 30 days. We use it to understand which channels bring visitors to us. It is not shared with advertising networks.
2.4 Analytics
Our analytics tools measure page views without setting cookies and without tracking you across other websites.
2.5 Cookies We Do Not Use
For clarity, we do not use:
- Advertising or marketing cookies
- Retargeting or remarketing cookies
- Social media tracking cookies
- Cross-site behavioral tracking cookies
3. Third-Party Services and Cookies
3.1 Google Maps Platform
Our Site uses the Google Maps JavaScript API to show hotel locations on a map. When a map loads, Google may set cookies or use similar technologies on your device.
Google's use of cookies is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and Google's Cookie Policy. These cookies are set by Google, not by Rialto Travel, and we do not control their use.
You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use their services at Google's Partner Sites page.
3.2 Google Sign-In
If you choose to sign in with Google, the Google authentication flow may set cookies as part of the sign-in process. These cookies are set by Google on Google's domains and are governed by Google's policies.
4. How to Manage Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View cookies stored on your device
- Delete cookies individually or all at once
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Set preferences for first-party vs. third-party cookies
Clearing your browser's site data also removes anything kept in local storage. If you block or delete our strictly necessary cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use certain features of the Site.
