1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember settings, maintain sessions, and understand how the site is used.

2. How we use cookies and similar technologies

Santana Weddings uses cookies and similar storage technologies (such as local storage) to:

• Keep essential site functions working.
• Remember your consent and preference choices.
• Measure site usage and performance (where consented).
• Improve usability and the planning experience over time.

We operate from Naxos, Greece and apply cookie and consent controls in line with applicable EU data protection and ePrivacy requirements.

3. Cookie categories

Necessary cookies and storage

Required for basic operation, security, and your saved consent preferences. These are always active and cannot be switched off through the banner. This includes storing your consent choice in local storage under the key sw_consent.

Analytics cookies

Used only with your consent to understand aggregate traffic and interaction patterns, helping us improve speed, reliability, and content quality. Analytics are managed through Google Tag Manager (container ID: GTM-PDR2CNW2), which may load services such as Google Analytics depending on our configuration.

4. Consent controls

On your first visit, our consent banner allows you to:

• Accept all cookies.
• Reject non-essential cookies.

You can change your choice at any time by selecting Manage Cookies in the site footer, which clears your saved preference and shows the banner again. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

5. Third-party technologies

Where enabled with your consent, selected third-party services may set or read cookies to provide infrastructure, analytics, and performance features. These providers process data under their own policies and contractual safeguards with us where required.

Our site may also embed content from third parties such as Vimeo (venue film) and Google Maps (location map). Those services may set their own cookies when you interact with the embedded content.

6. Cookie duration

Cookies may be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (stored until expiry or manual deletion). Your consent preference is stored in local storage until you clear it or reset it using Manage Cookies.

7. Browser controls

You can manage cookies through browser settings (block, delete, or limit cookies). Please note that disabling necessary cookies may affect core site functionality.
