Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.littleseasidecottage.com (the “Site”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

This Site uses a web analysis provider, Google Analytics, an affiliate of Google Ireland Limited. When you visit the Site, Google Analytics automatically collects certain information about your device with the help of cookies. Cookies are text data that are being saved on the computer of internet users and allow for the analysis of their web behaviour to optimize web-related services. The information collected with the help of cookies by users of this website (including their simplified IP-address) are saved on a Google server.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp ()" on this website. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening and excludes a direct personal reference. The extension truncates Google's IP address within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. 

On behalf of the site operator, Google will use the resulting information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the site operator (Art. 6 (1) lit. DSGVO). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of the use of the website and the adaptation of the content. The interests of the users are adequately protected by the pseudonymization.

Google LLC. is certified according to the so-called Privacy Shield and guarantees an appropriate level of data protection on this basis. The data sent and linked to cookies, user IDs (eg user ID) or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 50 months. The deletion of data the retention period of which has been reached is done automatically once a month.

Site visitors can prevent themselves from the collection of data by Google Analytics on this website by clicking on the link below. In that case, an opt-out cookie is set which prevents the future collection of data when visiting this website. In addition, the collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies may be objected to at any time with future effect. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. 

For more information about cookies, and to disable cookies, please visit our Cookies Policy.

For more information about Google's data usage and disagreement options, see the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and the Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google .com/authenticated).
