Last Updated: December 28, 2025
This Cookie Policy describes how Charming Vibes 4u (“we,” “us,” or “our”) utilizes cookies and similar tracking technologies. The policy is intended to ensure compliance with the EU Cookies Directive and current GDPR/IAB standards. Specifically, under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, consent is required for the use of cookies, and per Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, the legal basis for processing personal data is user consent. This provides a verifiable commitment to observing enforceable regulatory requirements.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on a user’s device to enable website functionality, facilitate traffic analysis, and support personalized experiences. For example, cookies help the site remember your language preference, so you always see trips in your chosen language.

2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
• Strictly Necessary: Required to enable users to navigate the website and utilize its core features. Consider the question: Do these essential cookies feel proportionate to the service you expect? We invite you to reflect on this balance between necessity and personal privacy, as your trust and informed consent are our priorities.

Within the EEA and UK, a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) is employed to manage and obtain this consent effectively.
