Website policy
Cookies & Similar Technologies
The public site does not use advertising cookies. This policy explains the limited analytics, security, diagnostic, and optional map technologies that are currently used.
Last updated
1. The short version
Optional Vercel Web Analytics and listing analytics stay off until you select “Accept analytics”. Essential cookies remember your choice for up to 90 days without an analytics visitor identifier. Listing analytics use a temporary identifier held in memory rather than browser storage, and Google Maps is not loaded until you choose to load it.
The site does not use advertising, remarketing, or cross-site behavioural-tracking cookies. Security, hosting, and diagnostic providers still process technical requests, and an external service may use its own cookies after you choose to load or visit it.
No consent by continued browsing: We do not treat continued use of the site as consent to optional analytics. Accepting starts capture of new permitted interactions; earlier interactions are not replayed. Declining does not prevent browsing or submitting a form.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small text value saved by a website in your browser. “Similar technologies” includes local or session storage, pixels, SDKs, scripts, device or request identifiers, and embedded third-party content that can store or read information on a device.
Some technologies are strictly necessary to deliver a service or protect it. Others are used for analytics, preferences, or marketing and may require a choice before they are enabled, depending on where you live and how the technology works.
3. Technologies currently used
| Technology | Purpose and data | Storage or duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential analytics preference | wg_analytics_preference remembers an explicit analytics choice, policy revision, and expiry. wg_analytics_denied_v1 records denial only, including when a withdrawal cannot reach the server. Neither contains an analytics visitor identifier or campaign information. | First-party cookies, up to 90 days. No choice cookie is set by browsing alone. |
| Essential choice ordering | wg_analytics_choice_v1 in local storage contains only the choice, policy revision, an incrementing choice counter, and expiry. It prevents an older response in another tab from undoing a newer withdrawal. It contains no visitor identifier or browsing history and is never sent as analytics data. | Expires after 90 days; removed when next checked or replaced by a new choice. |
| Vercel Web Analytics | Optional aggregated page views and selected conversion events after acceptance. Data can include route or URL, timestamp, referrer, approximate location, operating system, browser, and device type. Page URL query strings and fragments are removed by the site. | No cookie. Vercel creates a request-derived visitor hash that resets after 24 hours; aggregate reporting may be retained separately. |
| Weddings Greece listing analytics | Optional views and actions involving venue and vendor profiles after acceptance, with listing, source location, registered campaign and referral categories, available country, and coarse browser, operating-system, and device categories. The analytics service receives a session hash scoped to a listing and day. Raw user agents, exact viewport sizes, and raw campaign query values are not retained in these listing records. | A random session identifier is held in memory for up to 30 minutes of inactivity. It is not saved in cookies, local storage, or session storage and resets on a full page reload. |
| Vercel BotID and rate limiting | Protects contact, listing-request, and newsletter endpoints from automation and abuse. A browser challenge, request headers, IP-based counters, and detection results may be processed. | Runs for protected form requests. Rate-limit records expire according to the security window and provider configuration. |
| Sentry diagnostics | Reports sampled errors and performance information. Session Replay is disabled on the public site. | No Weddings Greece application cookie is used for this purpose. Diagnostic retention follows the configured Sentry project settings. |
| Google Maps | Optional embedded location map on some venue and vendor profiles. Loading it sends a request to Google, which may process device, request, and cookie information under its own policies. | Not loaded until you choose “Load Google map”. Any resulting storage is controlled by Google. |
4. Analytics without advertising cookies
Vercel Web Analytics
Vercel states that its Web Analytics product does not use cookies, does not associate analytics data with an IP address, and uses a request-derived visitor hash that resets daily. It is enabled only after your analytics choice allows capture. We use it for aggregate traffic and high-level conversion reporting, not to build advertising profiles.
See Vercel’s Web Analytics privacy and compliance information (opens in a new tab).
Listing interaction analytics
After acceptance, venue and vendor pages send selected interactions to Tinybird for analytics processing and aggregate reports for Weddings Greece and listed businesses. The site creates a temporary random identifier in JavaScript memory to group permitted actions during a short browsing session. The identifier is not saved to browser storage. Withdrawal clears this session and the permitted first-touch attribution held in memory and stops new optional capture. It does not delete records already received.
Browser privacy tools can block analytics requests. Blocking them should not prevent you from reading public directory pages, although interaction reporting may be incomplete.
5. Optional Google Maps content
Some listing pages offer an embedded Google map. The frame is replaced with a clear notice and a “Load Google map” control by default. Until you choose that control, the browser does not request the embedded map from Google.
If you load the map or follow an “Open in Google Maps” link, Google receives the request and may use cookies or similar technologies according to its own settings and policies. You can use the listing’s written location information without loading the embedded map.
See Google’s Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab) and cookie information (opens in a new tab).
6. Your choices
- Select “Accept analytics” or “Decline analytics” in the choice notice. Open “Analytics settings” in the footer to change your choice or withdraw consent. Optional analytics remains off when your browser sends Global Privacy Control.
- Do not select “Load Google map” if you do not want to load Google’s embedded content.
- Use browser controls, privacy extensions, or network controls to block third-party requests or storage. Blocking strictly necessary security requests may prevent a form submission.
- Clear cookies and site data through your browser to remove a remembered choice. An expired preference or changed policy revision may also require a new choice. Ordinary browsing and form submission remain available when analytics is declined.
- Contact us if you observe a Weddings Greece cookie or storage key that is not described here. Include its name, the page, and when it appeared so we can investigate.
7. Changes to this policy
We will update this page if the site begins using a new cookie or similar technology, if a provider’s behaviour materially changes, or if legal requirements change. The date at the top identifies the latest published version.
