This Cookie Policy explains how Meadowssocilspry ("we", "our") deploys cookies and similar browser storage technologies (such as HTML5 localStorage) to deliver a secure, responsive, and tailored user experience across our resort portal. This policy complements our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a modest text file downloaded to your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device across multiple visits, remember your language and privacy choices, and ensure navigation functions reliably without requiring repeated configuration.
2. Categorization of Cookies We Deploy
We classify the storage tokens used on Meadowssocilspry into three well-defined operational categories:
| Cookie / Token Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
meadowssocilspry_cookie_consent |
Strictly Necessary | Stores the visitor’s cookie choice (Accept, Reject, or Custom) to prevent banner re-display | 12 Months |
__cf_bm / _sec_token |
Strictly Necessary | Cloud security token utilized to detect automated bot assaults and defend server uptime | 30 Minutes |
_ms_analytics_id |
Performance & Analytics | Gathers aggregated non-identifiable telemetry on page load speeds and visitor scroll depth | 6 Months |
_ms_theme_pref |
Functional | Remembers custom accessibility font scaling and high-contrast styling selections | Session / 1 Year |
3. Strictly Necessary vs. Optional Cookies
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These tokens are essential for core website operations. They enable secure TLS routing, accessibility compliance, and consent record persistence. Under European Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive), these do not require prior consent, though you may block them via browser settings.
- Performance and Analytical Cookies: These tokens gather anonymous aggregated traffic statistics. They help us understand which guides (such as our Benagil excursions or Casino rules) resonate most with travelers, allowing us to optimize server resources. These are active only after your affirmative consent.
- Functional Cookies: These elements remember custom settings, such as your chosen currency view or inquiry topic preferences, to streamline your experience upon return.
4. How to Manage and Opt Out via Browser Controls
In addition to the fixed cookie consent banner and preference modal on our website, you have full control through your web browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to review, delete, or universally block cookies:
- Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection > Cookies.
- Apple Safari: Navigate to Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies, or manage individual site data.
- Microsoft Edge: Navigate to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies may impact basic functionality, causing navigation menus or styling elements to behave unpredictably.
5. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in technical infrastructure, European privacy guidelines, or judicial rulings from Portuguese courts. Any updates will take immediate effect upon being published on this page, with the revised "Last Updated" date clearly noted.
