Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains which cookies the website faneslodges.com uses, what they do, how long they are stored, and how you can control them. The website is operated by Fanes Breeze Lodges I.K.E. (a Greek Private Company / Ιδιωτική Κεφαλαιουχική Εταιρεία), with its registered address at Fanes, 851 06, Rhodes, Greece, registration number 174728920000, Greek tax number (AFM): 802345860, who is also the data controller. You can contact us at milan@faneslodges.com or by phone on +420 724 315 369. Because we operate in Greece (an EU member state), data processing is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and by Greek law transposing the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC).
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that are stored in your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information between requests — for example, that you are signed in or that a payment is in progress.
Our website uses strictly necessary cookies only. We do not use any analytics, marketing, or advertising cookies, and we do not place any third-party tracking tools on the site.
The cookies we use
The following is a complete list of the cookies that may be set in connection with our website, including the provider, purpose, and approximate retention period. Every cookie listed falls within the strictly necessary category.
Admin login session — provider: Supabase. Purpose: keeps the administrator securely signed in to the website's admin area while managing bookings and content. Retention: for the duration of the logged-in session (typically a matter of hours), after which it expires. This cookie applies only to a logged-in administrator, not to an ordinary visitor who is simply browsing the site or making a booking.
Checkout session — provider: Stripe (cookie __stripe_sid). Purpose: enables the payment to run securely and helps prevent fraud during the checkout process. Retention: session cookie, approximately 30 minutes.
Device identifier for fraud prevention — provider: Stripe (cookie __stripe_mid). Purpose: recognises the device across payments in order to prevent fraudulent transactions. Retention: approximately 1 year.
The website does not set any other cookies. We store no analytics, performance, marketing, or profiling cookies.
Stripe cookies
Payments are processed through the secure Stripe payment gateway. When you pay, you are directed to Stripe's hosted interface (Stripe Checkout), so the __stripe_mid and __stripe_sid cookies described above are set and managed directly by Stripe on Stripe's own domain, not by us on faneslodges.com.
These cookies are necessary for Stripe to process the payment securely and to prevent fraud. Your card details are entered directly into the Stripe gateway — we never see or store them.
For more information on how Stripe handles data and cookies, please see Stripe's privacy policy.
Why we do not ask for consent
Strictly necessary cookies are those without which the website, or a specific function of it (such as signing in to the admin area or completing a payment), could not work. Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) as transposed into Greek law, your consent is not required to store or read them — the strictly-necessary exemption applies.
This notice is therefore for information only. Because we use no analytics, marketing, or tracking cookies, there is no tracking for you to opt out of, and we display no cookie consent banner.
How to manage cookies in your browser
You can review or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers let you see and remove stored cookies and choose whether new cookies are accepted or blocked.
Please note that if you block or delete strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly — for example, it may not be possible to sign in to the admin area or to complete a payment.
You can find instructions in your browser's help section (for example Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge).
Relationship to the processing of personal data
Some of the cookies above may relate to the processing of personal data (for example, when securing a payment). For full details on what personal data we process, on what legal basis, who our processors are, and what rights you have, please see our Privacy Policy, available on faneslodges.com.
This Cookies Policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy.
Your rights and contact
Under the GDPR you have the right to access your personal data and to its rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, the right to object, and the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, which in Greece is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (dpa.gr).
If you have any questions about this policy or about how we process your data, please contact us at milan@faneslodges.com or by phone on +420 724 315 369.
Effective date and updates
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. The current version is always available on this website.
