Your privacy
Cookie policy
Last updated: 19 October 2026
Your choice comes first
Cookies are small files saved by your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, can also remember information. Show Me Italy uses necessary storage to operate the site and remember your choices. Optional analytics, advertising, live chat and embedded external content stay disabled until you allow their category. Scrolling, navigating or closing the preferences window does not give consent.
What we use
| Category | Purpose and providers | Storage and duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Privacy choices, site preferences, security and administration. Booking providers load only when you request booking options. | smi_cookie_consent: six months. The smi-consent-change local storage signal synchronises choices between tabs. Navigation state lasts for the browser session. Administration and booking cookies follow their service settings. |
| Functional | Crisp live chat, embedded maps and Google Drive video players. | Provider cookies and local storage, including crisp-client entries. Duration depends on the provider and your use of the service. |
| Analytics | Google Analytics, when configured, to understand visits and improve the site. | Examples: _ga and _ga_* cookies. Retention depends on the configured analytics service. |
| Marketing | Google Ads and Meta, when configured, for advertising measurement and personalisation. | Examples: _gcl_*, _fbp and _fbc. Duration depends on the provider and campaign settings. |
Google Tag Manager and additional configured tracking content may combine purposes, so we load them only when all optional categories are allowed. The examples above are not a guarantee that every listed cookie is present on every visit.
Booking without optional cookies
You can browse and book without accepting analytics or marketing cookies. Selecting Book now or Load booking options requests the FareHarbor or Ventrata booking service. These providers and their payment and fraud-prevention services process the information needed to show availability and complete your reservation. Their own privacy notices and choices apply within checkout.
Change or withdraw consent
Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time. Accept all enables every optional category, Reject optional leaves them off, and Save preferences records only your selected categories. Withdrawing a previously allowed category reloads the page to stop scripts already running and removes recognised optional cookies that this website can access. We cannot directly remove cookies stored on another provider’s domain; you can remove those in your browser settings.
Your choice is saved for six months on this browser. You may be asked again when it expires, when you delete browser storage, or if our cookie purposes materially change. If your browser blocks storage, your choice may last only for the current visit. Choices are not automatically shared between devices or browsers.
