Cookie policy
Last updated: 29 August 2026
This page explains which cookies and similar technologies the Guiness Young site uses, who sets them, what they are for and how you can manage your consent. The list below is the real, complete one for this site.
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser to remember information between visits. Some are strictly necessary for the site to work ("essential technical" cookies), others belong to third-party services and are used only with your consent.
Essential technical cookies (always active)
They are necessary for the site to work and require no consent under the applicable law. They do not track your browsing for advertising purposes.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
gy-cookie-consent | This site (first party) | Stores your cookie choice (acceptance or refusal of the optional categories), so you are not asked again on every visit. | 6 months |
session | Guiness Travel API service (the site's technical backend domain) | Signed session cookie, created only when you sign in to your account; it keeps you logged in while you browse. | 24 hours at most |
| Technical login cookies | Guiness Travel authentication service | Technical cookies used by the Guiness login page during sign-in or registration, to complete the login procedure securely. | Login session |
Third-party cookies subject to consent
The only third party this site can load directly in your browser is PayPal:
- the PayPal script (www.paypal.com/sdk/js) is loaded ONLY after your consent, given via the banner, the cookie preferences or at payment time; without consent the script does not start and the PayPal buttons do not appear.
- once loaded, PayPal may set its own cookies on the paypal.com domains, including for security and fraud prevention.
- For details see PayPal's cookie statement: paypal.com/it/legalhub/cookie-full
No other third parties are loaded by this site in your browser.
Payment services reached via redirect
For some payment methods this site loads no script at all: at payment time you are redirected to the provider's own site, where its own cookie policy applies:
- Stripe (credit card payments) — stripe.com/it/privacy
- Scalapay (payment in instalments) — scalapay.com/it/privacy
- the completion of a PayPal payment also happens on paypal.com, under the PayPal statement linked above.
What we do NOT use
This site uses no third-party profiling, marketing or analytics cookies (no Google Analytics, no social network pixels, no advertising networks).
How to manage or withdraw consent
On your first visit a banner asks for your choice. Optional categories stay off until you enable them.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of every page, or from the button below. Withdrawal stops future loads; cookies already set by PayPal can be removed from your browser settings.
You can also block or delete cookies from your browser settings; blocking the essential technical cookies may break some features (for example signing in to your account).
