Our website is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with an online platform that allows us to publicize our property and sell our accommodation services to you. Your data may be collected, handled, processed and/or stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. Wix.com stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall. By visiting and using this site, you agree to allow Wix to collect, handle, process and store your personal connection data. 

 

Through Wix.com, our website tracks some personal information through the use of cookies. Cookies are small files which are automatically placed and stored on your computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone when you visit our site. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular visitor, allowing the server to carry website information over from one visit to the next. Cookies may also be used to track repeat visits, locations from where a repeat visitor is accessing the site, and other such data used in Google Analytics. 

 

Here is a list of specific cookies used by Wix.com on websites hosted on its platform such as www.sommassi.com. This list is representative only and may change from time to time.

In addition to the foregoing, Google Analytics uses cookies to measure user interactions on websites. Information collected by Google Analytics includes where our site is being accessed from, duration of visit, and visitor interaction with the site. When a user navigates between site pages, Google Analytics provides the site owner with JavaScript tags (libraries) to record information about the page a user has seen (eg: the URL of the page). The Google Analytics JavaScript libraries use cookies to “remember” what a specific user has done on previous pages and “remember” previous interactions with the website. Google Analytics supports three JavaScript libraries (tags) for measuring website usage, namely gtag.js,  analytics.js, and ga.js. The following section is a list of cookies used by Google Analytics:

The foregoing list of cookies does not necessarily mean that every one of the cookies listed will be placed on your computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone when you visit our site. As Google Analytics is a third party provider, Villa Sommassi does not know or control what cookies Google Analytics requires, uses and/or places on your device to allow its services to function. The list is intended to show cookies that potentially may be placed on your device. 

 

Virtually all web browsers and anti-malware programs have functions that allow you to identify and remove cookies that have been placed on your computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. As cookies are automatically placed when you visit a site, you have to remove the cookies after every visit to a site, if cookies are a privacy issue for you. Fortunately this is generally simple and easy to do. If you are unsure how to do this, we recommend using the Help function on your browser or malware program, or watching a YouTube tutorial specific to your browser or malware program.
