Information on the use of cookies pursuant to Art. 45c of the Swiss Telecommunications Act (TCA) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, for users in the European Union, Directive 2002/58/EC and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR)
This Cookie Policy explains how Ricasoli Swiss SA, trading as Ricasoli Travel, uses cookies and similar technologies on the website www.ricasolitravel.com (the “Website”).
Cookies are small text files that websites save on the user’s device so that they can be sent back to the same websites on the next visit. Similar technologies (e.g. web beacons, pixels, local storage) make it possible to collect information about browsing. For simplicity, the term “cookies” in this document also covers these technologies.
These are necessary for the Website to function and to provide the services requested by the user (e.g. for security, session management and storing cookie preferences). They do not require the user’s consent and cannot be disabled through the banner.
The Website uses Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to collect statistical information on the use of the Website and on how visitors interact with its pages (e.g. clicks, scrolling and recordings of browsing sessions). These cookies are set only with the user’s consent, given through the banner.
These store the user’s choices (e.g. language) to improve the browsing experience.
These are set by third parties — Meta (Meta Pixel), Google (Google Ads) and Microsoft — to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and for marketing and remarketing purposes. These cookies are set only with the user’s consent.
For each cookie or similar technology, the table states the provider, the purpose, the maximum duration, the category and the country in which the data is processed. Items marked “localStorage” or “sessionStorage” are saved in the browser’s storage rather than as cookies: sessionStorage items are deleted when the tab is closed, while localStorage items remain on the device until the user deletes them (“Persistent”). The list reflects the cookies identified on the Website through a technical check and is updated when the tools in use change.

On the first visit to the Website, a banner allows the user to accept or reject non-technical cookies, including on a granular basis for each category. Non-technical cookies are set only after the user has given consent. Rejecting, closing the banner or continuing to browse without making a choice does not result in any cookies other than technical cookies being set; merely scrolling the page does not constitute consent. Users can change or withdraw their choices at any time via the Cookie settings link available at the bottom of every page of the Website.
Users can also manage or disable cookies through their browser settings. Disabling technical cookies may impair the proper functioning of the Website. Instructions are available on the websites of the main browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari).

The data collected may be transferred to the United States to Google LLC, Microsoft Corporation and Meta Platforms, Inc., which are certified under the Swiss-U.S. and EU-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks. Processing by these providers is governed by their own privacy notices, available on their websites. Further information on transfers abroad is provided in the Privacy Policy.
