1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They enable core site functions, remember preferences and, when you consent, collect aggregated usage statistics. This policy applies alongside similar technologies such as browser local storage.
This policy is aligned with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) Guide on the Use of Cookies (May 2024 revision), the Spanish LSSI-CE and the GDPR.

3. Categories of cookies used
By ownership, cookies may be first-party (managed by LODGE MILANO SL) or third-party (managed by external service providers). By purpose:
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for navigation, cart management, checkout, session persistence, language selection and to remember your cookie choices. Exempt from prior consent (Article 22.2 LSSI-CE).
- Third-party cookies for payment processing: Elavon (through Frisbii) and WooCommerce Payments set cookies strictly necessary to complete a card payment and prevent fraud. They are only active during checkout.
- Preferences cookies: remember non-essential settings you choose. Require consent.
- Analytics cookies: measure aggregated usage of the site. Require consent.
- Marketing cookies: measure advertising effectiveness. Require consent.

5. Consent management
On your first visit, a banner allows you to accept, reject or configure the use of non-essential cookies. The options carry equivalent visual weight, no dark patterns are used and no non-essential cookies load until you explicitly consent (prior blocking). You can withdraw or change your choice at any time from the “Cookie settings” link in the footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser. Consent will be requested again after 12 months.
6. International transfers
Where cookies from WooCommerce Payments infrastructure or other US-based providers are activated, transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (Commission Decision C(2023) 4745) and, where applicable, on Standard Contractual Clauses. See the Privacy Policy for details.
7. Disabling cookies from your browser
Important: disabling strictly necessary cookies or the payment provider’s cookies may prevent the site or the checkout from working correctly.
8. Updates
LODGE MILANO SL may update this Cookie Policy to reflect legal changes or AEPD guidance updates. The current version is the one published on this page.
