Cookie Policy.

Last updated: 29 October 2026

This website, lostinmadeira.pt, uses as few cookies as possible. This Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use and how you can manage them.

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They let the website remember your device on later visits, keep your choices and work properly.

Similar technologies include the browser’s local storage, which some websites use for the same purposes. In this Policy, “cookies” covers both.

We only use cookies that are strictly necessary or that remember a choice you made. They do not track you and are not used for advertising.

  • Security and website operation: cookies set by WordPress that keep the website secure and working. For regular visitors there are very few; most only appear for the website administrator.
  • Language preference: if you switch between languages, the website remembers your choice (cookie trp_language, set by our translation plugin) so that you see the pages in the language you picked.
  • Cookie choices: our cookie banner remembers whether you accepted or declined cookies, so it does not ask you again on every page.
  • Accessibility options: if you change the accessibility settings of the website, your choice may be stored in your browser so it is kept on the next page.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary or only store a choice you made, they do not require your prior consent.

At the moment this website does not use analytics cookies, advertising or marketing cookies, social-media tracking pixels, customer accounts or newsletter tracking.

If this changes in the future, we will update this Policy and ask for your consent before using any non-essential cookie.

The website contains links to other websites and services, such as WhatsApp. When you click a link, that website has its own cookie policy, which we do not control and for which we are not responsible.

Booking and contact forms send your details to us by email. They do not install advertising cookies.

You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings on the website, and you can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and others). Each browser explains how in its help pages.

If you block essential cookies, some parts of the website, such as the language switch or the booking form, may not work properly.

Cookies sometimes involve personal data. To learn how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

You can also lodge a complaint with the Portuguese data protection authority (CNPD) at www.cnpd.pt.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect new technologies, legal changes or changes to our practices. The version in force is the one published on the website at the time you read it.
