The site stores only what it needs to work.With your permission it also remembers a few of your choices on the site.
We use no analytics and no advertising. Cookie policy
The chiflikhills.com website stores in your browser only what it needs to work and, if you allow it, a few of your choices. We use no cookies for analytics or advertising, and we load no scripts, fonts or maps from other companies. Nothing that is stored is sent to other companies.
This policy describes everything the site stores: cookies and similar technologies, the browser's storage (localStorage) and the storage for the open tab (sessionStorage). The list below is built from the same register the cookie settings work from, so it always matches what the site really does.
On your first visit we ask whether the site may also remember the optional things. You have three equal options: "Accept all", "Reject non-essential" and "Settings", where you choose by category. Until you choose, the site stores only what is necessary.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time: from "Cookie settings" at the foot of every page, or with the button here. When you withdraw a permission, what was stored for that category is deleted at once.
Your choice is kept for 6 months. After that, or if we change what we ask you, we will ask you again.
If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, we take it as "Reject non-essential" without asking you. Without JavaScript the site stores nothing optional.
When you make a choice, the site records an anonymous receipt: the random record number, your choice, the policy version and the time, with no IP address and nothing else about you. We keep it for 1 year, so that we can show how consent was given (Article 7(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation). You can see the record number in the cookie settings.

When you go to another site
Some links lead to other sites: Google Maps (for our address), Facebook, Viber and WhatsApp, the card payment provider's payment page, and Booking.com. None of them is loaded in our pages. The cookies those sites set when you go to them are covered by their own policies.
How to delete what is stored
The easiest way is "Cookie settings": "Reject non-essential" deletes everything optional at once.
You can also delete everything, the necessary items included, in your browser's settings:
Chrome, Edge and Firefox: "Settings" → "Privacy and security" → "Cookies and site data"; search for chiflikhills.com and choose "Delete".
Safari: "Settings" → "Privacy" → "Manage Website Data"; search for chiflikhills.com and choose "Remove".
The tab storage (sessionStorage) is deleted on its own when you close the tab.
If you delete the necessary items too, the site will ask you for your choice again on your next visit.
Changes and questions
When we change what the site stores, we update this page and its date. If the change concerns the optional categories, we will ask you again.
