Cookie Policy

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help a site work properly, remember your choices, and understand how people use it.

Similar technologies include browser storage, such as local storage. We use local storage to remember your cookie choice. We may also use Google Analytics cookies if you accept analytics cookies and a Google Analytics measurement ID is configured.

What does floriogolf.org use?

1. Necessary local storage

We use one necessary browser storage item so the site can remember your cookie banner choice. This is not an analytics cookie and it does not track you across websites.

• florio-cookie-consent: stored in local storage to remember whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies
• Duration: until you change your setting or clear your browser storage

We use this because it is necessary to remember your privacy choice and avoid asking you on every page.

2. Analytics cookies

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use floriogolf.org, including which pages are popular, how people navigate through the site, and where we can improve. We use Google Analytics for aggregated reports and do not use it to identify you personally.

Google Analytics only loads after you accept analytics cookies through our cookie banner. If no Google Analytics measurement ID is configured, analytics cookies are not set. If analytics is enabled and you accept it, Google Analytics may set the following cookies:

• _ga : lasts up to 2 years and helps distinguish visits
• _ga_<measurement-id> : lasts up to 2 years and helps maintain session state. The exact suffix depends on the Google Analytics measurement ID configured for the website.

We retain Google Analytics data for 14 months. These cookies are only set after you give consentvia our cookie banner. They are not active when you first arrive, and you can withdraw consent at any time. See “Managing your cookies” below.

3. What we don't use

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, behavioural advertising, social media tracking pixels, or cookies for profiling. If that changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before setting those cookies.

Third-party cookies

The analytics cookies above are set by Google. They are governed by Google's own privacy and cookie policies, not ours:

• Google Analytics (Google LLC): website analytics (Google Privacy Policy)

Newsletter, Collective, and contact form submissions are delivered to us by email and do not set cookies on your device.

This policy covers cookies and similar technologies used on floriogolf.org. If you follow a link to a third-party website or platform, that service may set its own cookies or use its own similar technologies. Their policies apply to their services.

Managing your cookies

When you first visit floriogolf.org, our cookie banner lets you accept or reject analytics cookies. You can change your choice at any time by reopening the cookie settings from the link in our footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser.

You can also control and delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Bear in mind that clearing local storage will remove your saved cookie choice, so we may ask again on your next visit. Rejecting analytics cookies will not affect your experience of the site.
