Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

("we", "us" or "our") operates the website located at ravellionessadining.com (the "Site") for the benefit of guests and visitors of Ravellionessa Dining Restaurant, situated at .

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar storage technologies are, how we use them on the Site, what choices you have regarding their use, and how you can exercise those choices. Please read this policy alongside our Privacy Policy, which governs the broader collection and use of your personal information.

By continuing to browse or use the Site after being presented with our consent notice, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where any category of cookie or similar technology is described as optional, that technology remains completely inactive unless and until you provide your affirmative consent.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to store certain information about your preferences or browsing behaviour.

In addition to cookies, we may use related storage technologies, including:

• Session storage: data held temporarily in your browser and deleted automatically when you close the browser tab or window.
• Local storage: data saved in your browser that persists until you clear it manually or via browser settings.
• Pixel tags and web beacons: small transparent image files that may be embedded in pages or emails to record whether content has been accessed.
• Script-based tracking: code snippets that may collect information about interactions with the Site on behalf of third-party service providers, but only where you have given consent for the relevant category.

Throughout this policy the word "cookies" is used as a general term covering all of the above technologies unless a distinction is specifically noted.

3. Cookie Duration Categories

Cookies can be classified by how long they remain on your device:

Where persistent cookies are set on our Site, the relevant retention periods are indicated in the cookie categories described in Section 5 below.

4. Cookie Categories by Purpose

We classify the cookies and similar technologies used on the Site into four functional categories. Two of these categories are strictly necessary for the Site to operate and do not require your consent. The remaining two categories are entirely optional and will not be activated unless you choose to accept them.

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function correctly and securely. Without them, services such as page navigation, form submission and security features could not be provided. Because they are indispensable to operation, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off through our consent controls.

Examples of functions supported by strictly necessary cookies include:

• Maintaining your session state as you move between pages.
• Remembering information you have entered in forms during a single visit.
• Storing your privacy and cookie consent preferences.
• Providing security features that help protect the Site and its users from fraudulent activity.
• Load balancing to ensure the Site remains available and responsive.

4.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. They improve your experience by, for example, remembering your preferred language or region settings so you do not need to re-enter them on each visit. These cookies do not track your activity across other websites.

Functional cookies are optional. They will only be placed on your device if you accept this category through our consent tool. If you do not accept functional cookies, the Site will still operate but certain convenience features may not be available.

4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on particular pages, and whether users encounter any error messages. The data gathered is used in aggregate to help us understand Site performance and to improve the content and structure of our pages.

Analytics and performance cookies are optional. They are completely inactive unless you consent to this category. Where analytics services are provided by third parties, those providers process data under their own privacy terms, and we encourage you to review those terms independently. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of third-party providers once data is transferred to their systems.

4.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is relevant to your interests, including promotional information related to Ravellionessa Dining Restaurant. They may also be used to limit how frequently a particular advertisement is shown to you, or to measure the effectiveness of a promotional campaign.

Marketing and targeting cookies are optional. They will not be activated in any form unless and until you expressly consent to this category. Some marketing cookies may be set by third-party advertising networks. Those third parties operate independently and are solely responsible for their own data practices. We recommend that you review the privacy and cookie policies of any third parties whose cookies may be set following your consent.

5. Summary of Cookie Categories on This Site

The table below provides a summary of the cookie categories we use, their purpose, typical retention duration and consent status.

All optional categories listed above are set to the inactive (off) state by default. They become active only upon your affirmative selection in our consent preference centre.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Responsibility

Some cookies on the Site may be set by third-party service providers rather than directly by . This occurs when our pages contain content or functionality that is hosted or operated by a third party, such as embedded maps, reservation widgets or analytics platforms.

We wish to be transparent about the following important points regarding third-party cookies:

• Third-party providers set and read their cookies under their own terms of service and privacy policies. We do not have access to those cookies and cannot control their contents.
• is not responsible for the data collection, storage or processing practices of any third-party provider whose cookies are set on the Site, whether with or without your consent.
• Where optional third-party cookies are involved, they will only be activated if you consent to the relevant category (functional, analytics or marketing) through our consent tool.
• We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies published by any relevant third-party providers to understand how they handle your personal information.

7. Your Consent Choices

When you first visit the Site, a consent notice will be displayed informing you of the cookies we use and requesting your preferences. You may:

• Accept all categories: consent to strictly necessary, functional, analytics and marketing cookies simultaneously.
• Accept selected categories: choose individually which optional categories you wish to enable while leaving others inactive.
• Reject optional categories: decline all optional cookie categories, in which case only strictly necessary cookies will operate.

Your consent preferences are recorded and stored so that you are not asked to repeat your choices on every subsequent visit. However, because the record of your preferences is itself stored in a cookie, clearing your cookies will reset your preferences and the consent notice will appear again on your next visit.

8. Withdrawing or Changing Your Consent

You have the right to withdraw or modify your consent to optional cookie categories at any time. You may do so through our consent preference centre, accessible via the cookie settings link available in the footer of every page on the Site.

Please note that:

• Withdrawing consent will prevent optional cookies from being placed on future page loads; however, it does not automatically delete cookies that have already been set on your device. To remove existing cookies you must use your browser controls as described in Section 9.
• Changing your preferences takes effect from the moment your updated choices are saved and will apply to your use of the Site from that point forward.
• Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

9. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

All modern web browsers allow you to view, manage, block and delete cookies stored on your device independently of any website consent tool. Common browser controls include the ability to:

• View which cookies are currently stored by a particular website.
• Delete some or all stored cookies.
• Block all cookies from all websites.
• Block cookies from specific websites while allowing others.
• Block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies.
• Configure private or incognito browsing modes in which cookies are not retained after the session ends.

The method for accessing cookie settings differs between browsers. You can typically find these options within the "Privacy", "Security" or "Site Settings" sections of your browser's preferences or settings menu. For detailed guidance, please consult the help documentation provided by your browser's developer.

Please be aware that disabling all cookies through your browser may affect the functionality of this Site and many other websites you visit, including features that depend on strictly necessary cookies.

You may also opt out of certain interest-based advertising practices by visiting the opt-out pages maintained by industry bodies in your region. Participation in those schemes is managed by the relevant third-party networks, not by .

10. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no uniform technical standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and as a result our Site does not alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals received from browsers. Your cookie preferences as set through our consent tool remain the definitive method for controlling optional cookie activity on this Site.
