1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can store on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) through your browser. For example, they can help remember your browsing preferences or enable certain website features to work.
This Cookie Policy also covers technologies with similar functions, such as browser local storage, where these are used by the website.
2. What types of cookies do we use?
Technical cookies (always active)
We use technical or functional cookies and technologies that are necessary to enable browsing and provide requested services. Depending on the features you use, they may be used to remember your selected language (Italian, German or English), manage booking-related operations and store your cookie preferences.
Where these cookies are strictly necessary for the purposes described, your prior consent is not required.
Analytics cookies
We do not use analytics cookies or tools to collect website traffic statistics, such as Google Analytics.
External content: Google Maps
The website embeds interactive maps provided by Google Maps to show Hofer Hof’s location and make it easier to view the map.
The maps are initially disabled and are loaded only after you have given your consent. Until then, the embedded Google Maps content is not activated.
When you choose to display the map, your browser connects to Google’s services. Google may then receive technical data, such as your IP address and information about your browser and device, and may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with its own privacy notices. For information about Google’s processing activities and any transfers of data outside the European Economic Area, please refer to the provider’s notices listed in section 6.
Consent to display the map is optional. If you do not consent, the map remains disabled, but you can continue using the other features of the website.
Profiling and marketing cookies
Hofer Hof does not use its own behavioural advertising or marketing profiling tools. Any processing carried out by Google when Google Maps is loaded is described in the provider’s notices linked in section 6.
3. List of cookies used
This section will list the cookies and any other storage technologies actually detected on the website, distinguishing at least between:
- technical or functional cookies, including those used for language selection, bookings and storing consent preferences, where present;
- Google Maps cookies or technologies, if detected after the map is activated.
For each item, name, provider, purpose and duration will be provided where applicable and verifiable. The list will be based on the website’s actual behaviour rather than generic examples.
4. How to give, refuse or withdraw consent
When you visit the website, you can choose whether to allow Google Maps to load or continue browsing without activating the external content. Your consent to Google Maps is requested before the map is loaded, through the website’s preference management tool and/or a specific control associated with the map.
Your choice is voluntary: refusing consent does not prevent you from browsing the website, but the embedded map will not be displayed. Simply scrolling or continuing to browse does not constitute consent.
You can change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the website footer. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal. After withdrawal, the map will no longer load automatically.
Your preferences are stored using technical means so that your choices can be respected on subsequent visits. The duration of the relevant cookies will be shown in the list in section 3.
5. How to manage cookies in your browser
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Instructions are available in the help pages of major browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Opera.
Disabling technical cookies may affect some website functions, such as remembering your language preferences or carrying out certain booking operations. Browser settings do not replace the option to manage and withdraw consent using the tools provided on the website.
6. Third-party cookies: provider notices
The external service embedded in the website is Google Maps, a Google service. When you allow the map to load, Google processes data collected through its service in accordance with the applicable terms and privacy notices.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
