La Viña’s Cookies Policy
This policy explains how we uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
2. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
3. Why do we use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:
• Essential Cookies
These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website (e.g., logging into secure areas).
• Performance & Functionality
These enhance the performance of our website but are non-essential to its use.
• Analytics & Customisation
These help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are.
• Advertising
These are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests.
4. The Cookies we use
Below is a list of the specific cookies currently used on our site:
Strictly Necessary – Per Session
Used for site security and load balancing.
Analytics (e.g., Google) – 2 years
Helps us track visitor numbers and behavior.
Marketing – 1 year
Used to track visitors across websites to display relevant ads.
5. How can I control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
• Cookie Consent Manager
When you first visit our site, you will see a “Cookie Banner” that allows you to customise your preferences.
• Browser Controls
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality may be restricted.
6. Updates to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
7. Contact Us
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us.
Important Implementation Tips
To stay compliant with UK law, your website setup should include:
• The Opt-In Rule
Non-essential cookies (like Tracking or Marketing) must be turned off by default. They should only activate after the user clicks “Accept.”
• No “Cookie Walls”
You cannot block a user from your site just because they refuse to accept non-essential cookies.
• Easy Withdrawal
It must be just as easy for a user to withdraw consent as it was to give it (e.g., a small “cookie settings” icon floating in the corner).
