Cookie Policy

A cookie is a brief piece of information that a browser stores on a visitor's device when a page is loaded, allowing a site to recognise that device later or to remember a choice made during a visit. Local storage and session storage work in a similar way, holding small pieces of data in the browser rather than in a cookie file, and tracking pixels or scripts loaded from other domains can serve a comparable purpose. This page covers all of these, not only cookies in the strict sense.

Mallorca Yachst Hire does not place any cookies on a visitor's device, and the site runs no third-party analytics, advertising or social-media tracking tools of any kind. There is no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no advertising network and no social plug-in collecting data in the background while someone compares our yachts or reads about a day charter. The only technologies in use are the first-party measurement described below, a handful of browser-storage entries, and two functional third-party requests for fonts and phone-number formatting, both described further on.

The site counts visits using its own script, served from our own domain, with nothing shared with an outside analytics company. It records which pages were viewed, time spent on a page, the referring website, any campaign parameters carried in the link such as a UTM tag or an ad click identifier, device type, browser, operating system, screen size, browser language, and the country derived from the IP address; the IP address itself is never stored. When an enquiry is sent, or a WhatsApp or phone link is tapped, that action is linked to the visit that produced it, so we can see which channel brought a genuine charter request. This measurement relies on two local-storage identifiers, a visitor identifier and a session identifier, which expire 30 days after the last visit and can be removed from the browser at any time, as set out in the table above.

Beyond visit measurement, the site keeps two further small entries in the browser. One, held in local storage, simply remembers that a visitor has already closed the cookie notice, so it does not reappear on every page. The other, held in session storage, remembers which yacht a visitor clicked on while browsing the fleet, so that the enquiry form opens with that yacht already selected; it disappears as soon as the tab is closed or the form is sent. None of these entries contains a name, email address, phone number or any other contact detail.

To display its typefaces consistently, the site loads web fonts from Google Fonts; Google receives the visitor's IP address with each font request, though no cookie is set for us in the process. The optional phone-number field in the enquiry form uses the intl-tel-input library, loaded from the jsDelivr content delivery network, which likewise receives the visitor's IP address when the script is fetched and sets no cookie for us. The WhatsApp buttons shown across the site behave differently again: nothing is stored on mallorcayachsthire.com when the button is shown, and only when it is actually clicked does the site log the click for our own records before opening a chat window on WhatsApp, where the conversation then continues under WhatsApp's own privacy policy, entirely outside our control.

Every current browser allows a visitor to view, block or delete local storage, session storage and any cookies through its settings or privacy menu, and to do so for mallorcayachsthire.com specifically or for all sites generally; disabling storage may mean the cookie notice reappears or that a previously selected yacht is no longer remembered when the enquiry form opens. If this policy is updated to reflect a change in how the site works, the new version will be published on this page with its effective date, and should we ever decide to introduce optional cookies, such as for advertising or embedded social content, we will ask for prior consent through a clear choice before any such cookie is set, in line with Article 22.2 of the LSSI-CE. Questions about this page, or about any of the technologies it describes, can be sent to [email protected], and any visitor who believes their rights have not been respected may lodge a complaint with the AEPD at www.aepd.es.
