This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website located at chania-rentals.com, or any other websites, pages, features, or content we own or operate (collectively, the "Website"). Please read this policy to understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies, and how that information is used.

5. Managing cookies

Most web browsers allow some control over cookies through their settings. You can choose to block cookies, but if you do, some features of our Website may not work. For more information on how to review or remove cookies, please refer to your browser's help section or online guides.

6. Third-party links

Our Website may contain links to third-party sites, including social media platforms. These sites have their own cookie policies, and we recommend reviewing them separately.

7. Local Storage

Local Storage and Web Storage: Beyond cookies, we also utilize browser local storage and session storage, collectively referred to as Web Storage. These technologies are designed to store data in a web browser and are similar to cookies in that they store data on your device between sessions, which can be retrieved by our website upon your return. We use local storage to enhance user experience by storing user preferences and settings, similar to how we use cookies. However, unlike cookies, Web Storage can hold larger amounts of data and its content is not transferred with every server request. It is possible for you to clear this storage. Instructions vary by browser but can generally be found within the settings or options features of your browser. If you choose to clear local storage, it may impact your browsing experience by requiring you to reset your preferences upon returning to our site.
