What Google Analytics records
If you accept, Google Analytics records the pages you view, clicks on booking buttons, your approximate location (city or country), your device and browser, and how you reached us (for example from Google or Instagram). It does not record your name, email address or payment details. Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited, and Google may process the data outside the European Economic Area under its own safeguards. See Google's privacy policy and how Google uses data from sites that use its services.
Booking pages
Bookings are made on separate booking pages run by our booking systems: Cloudbeds (hotels.cloudbeds.com) for Columbus, Compass House and Jungle House, and Avantio (booking.nubostays.es) for Nubo Stays. Those pages set their own cookies and have their own privacy policies. We also use Google Analytics on the Cloudbeds booking pages, to see which visits lead to a booking.
Changing your choice
You can change your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page, or with the button below. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. The website works without them.
