1. Introduction

This cookie policy and digital discretion framework explains how Unique Villas Collection Ltd uses cookies on this website. We have written it in plain language because UK GDPR requires transparency — and because our principals deserve clarity, not legal complexity.

By continuing to use this website, you accept our use of strictly necessary cookies. For all other cookie types, we ask for your consent through our cookie banner. Consequently, you can change your preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of this page.

We are committed to digital discretion. Accordingly, we collect only what is necessary. We retain it only as long as required. Furthermore, we do not use it for any purpose beyond those stated in this policy.

2. What cookies are and how we use them

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the website remember your preferences and understand how you interact with it. Without cookies, some features of this website would not work correctly.

We use cookies for two purposes. First, we use strictly necessary cookies to make the website function. These operate without your consent because they are essential. Second, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site. These require your consent before we deploy them.

Importantly, we do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels. We do not share any data collected through cookies with advertising networks, data brokers or any third party for marketing purposes. This reflects our wider commitment to digital discretion across all our operations.

3. The cookies we use

4. Managing your cookie preferences

You are always in control of the cookies stored on your device. Additionally, you can change your preferences in three ways at any time.

4.1  Using our Cookie Settings

The Cookie Settings link in the footer of every page opens our consent management panel. There, you can accept or withdraw consent for analytics and preference cookies. Changes take effect immediately. Importantly, withdrawing consent does not affect any processing that took place before you withdrew it.

4.2  Using your browser settings

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block, delete or receive notifications when a website tries to set a cookie. However, blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how this website functions. For guidance, visit the support pages of your browser provider.

4.3  Google Analytics opt-out

If you have consented to analytics cookies, you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Alternatively, you can simply withdraw your analytics consent through our Cookie Settings panel. This stops data collection from your future visits immediately.

We process data from analytics and preference cookies on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR). Consequently, you can withdraw your consent at any time as described in Section 4 above.
