Privacy policy
dolce-vita.com sets no cookies, loads nothing from third-party servers and uses no third-party analytics services. What you do on the site stays in your browser.
Visitor count
An exception to what this page otherwise says about outside services: every page loads a small counting script from analytics.axaix.app, the network's own statistics server. It is hosted in a data centre in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and the data is not passed on to third parties.
The script sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. It records the page viewed, the page the visit came from, screen width and language, the broad device type, browser and operating system, and clicks on downloads and on links to other websites. Your IP address is used only briefly to determine country and city and to form a daily hash, then discarded and never stored. The hash changes every day, so a visitor cannot be recognised from one day to the next. Raw data is deleted after twelve months. If your browser sends “Do Not Track”, the visit is not counted.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in measuring the reach of these pages with as little data as possible (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Advertising
Through the counting script, every page also loads the advertising script ad.member.show/axaix.js. On the network’s magazines it shows labelled ads from members of the member.show network, and banner.member.show serves the banner images. Both addresses belong to the network itself and are hosted by the provider Hostinger. No data is passed on to advertisers or any other third parties.
The advertising script sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and builds no user profiles. Which ad appears depends only on the page viewed and its language. Impressions and clicks are counted solely as totals per ad, page and day, and your IP address is not stored for this. A click on an ad passes briefly through ad.member.show and then on to the advertiser.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in funding the magazines through advertising and showing advertisers the reach of their ads (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Visiting the website
When you open a page, the hosting provider (Hostinger International Ltd.) stores the request in a server log: address of the page, time, browser identifier and your IP address. The log serves the secure operation of the website and is deleted after 14 days. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a stable and secure service (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Fonts, images and videos
All fonts, images and videos are delivered from this domain. No content delivery network, no font service and no video platform is involved.
Tools in the browser
The saved list, search, region test, when-to-go planner and accommodation finder run entirely in your browser. Your choices are kept in your browser's local storage, never on our server, and can be deleted at any time in the tools or through your browser settings.
Contact form, enquiry form and newsletter
The contact form, the enquiry form for businesses and the newsletter sign-up come from formdialog.com, the form service of NexTao GmbH. It runs on its own server at Hostinger in Frankfurt am Main, sets no cookies and loads nothing from third parties. With the form it learns on which page of dolce-vita.com it is shown.
When you write to us through the contact form, we process the details you enter (name, email address, subject, message) to answer your request (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). The message is delivered to our editorial team by email, stored in the form service and deleted once it is no longer needed. To fend off abuse, the IP address of every submission is kept for 14 days (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
The newsletter uses double opt-in: after signing up you receive an email with a confirmation link, and only a click on it subscribes you. Unconfirmed sign-ups are deleted after 30 days. As proof of your consent we store the time and IP address of the sign-up and of the confirmation. Your email address stays on our list until you unsubscribe, which you can do at any time with the link in every issue (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
When you send an enquiry through the form for businesses, we process the details you enter (name, company, email address, website if you give it, the format you are interested in and a short message) to answer your request (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). The enquiry is delivered to us by email, stored in the form service and deleted once it is no longer needed. To fend off abuse, the IP address of every submission is kept for 14 days (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). We do not pass data from the forms on to third parties.
The button “Write on WhatsApp” is a simple link. Only when you click it and send a message do the privacy terms of WhatsApp apply.

Links lead to the websites of the businesses featured and of other publishers. As soon as you follow a link, their privacy terms apply.
