EVLA Stay Ltd — Cookie Policy

Last updated: 29 August 2026

​

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function correctly, remember your preferences, and — where you consent — measure traffic and personalise advertising. Similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) are covered by this policy alongside cookies.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

  • Strictly necessary — required for the website and booking functionality to work; cannot be switched off.

  • Performance — help us understand how the site is loading and performing, and fix issues.

  • Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g. Google Analytics), so we can improve it.

  • Advertising / marketing — used to show relevant ads and measure their performance (e.g. Google Ads, Meta/Facebook).

Only strictly necessary cookies are set automatically. All other categories are only set with your consent, given through the cookie banner on our website.

This list reflects the tools currently used on our site — Wix (hosting, bookings, mailing list), Google Analytics, Google Ads and the Meta pixel — and the cookies those providers are publicly documented as setting. It may not capture every cookie a provider sets at a given time; where in doubt, the results of our cookie banner's live scan take precedence over this list.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

  • Use the cookie banner shown when you first visit our website to accept all, reject non-essential, or customise your preferences by category.

  • Revisit your choice at any time via the cookie preferences link in our website footer.

  • Control or delete cookies through your browser settings — note this may affect site functionality, including bookings.

  • Opt out of Google's use of advertising cookies via Google's Ads Settings, and manage ad preferences on Meta via your Facebook/Instagram account settings.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties (Google, Meta) when you interact with content or ads connected to our site. We do not control these cookies directly; please refer to the relevant third party's own cookie and privacy policies for further detail:
