Scope and who is responsible
This notice applies to Four Winds Victorian Venue and Suites, the public website at www.fourwindsvenue.com, and the Four Winds booking experience at book.fourwindsvenue.com. Four Winds is the business responsible for the first-party privacy choices described here. Guesty separately supplies the booking platform and processes booking, payment, guest, and transaction information through its systems.
This notice describes the privacy and measurement configuration used across those sites. Material changes to that configuration or to the purposes described here require a corresponding update to this notice.
Information involved
Four Winds may receive information you choose to provide by phone, text message, email, or through the booking service. This can include your name, contact details, requested stay dates, accommodation preferences, pet information, reservation details, and message content.
The websites and approved service providers may process technical and usage information such as IP address, approximate country or region derived from the network request, browser and device information, page and route visited, referrer and campaign parameters, timestamps, and interactions with booking, phone, text, email, navigation, availability, and accommodation links.
The regional resolver uses Cloudflare request geography to choose a consent profile. IP-derived geography is an operational estimate and is not treated as proof of legal residence.
Measurement tools and purposes
Google Analytics 4. Four Winds uses Google Analytics to understand visits, engagement, acquisition sources, and non-sensitive actions such as viewing accommodations, checking availability, or following a booking link. Google advertising storage, ad-user-data processing, and ad personalization remain denied in this release.
Browser-only Meta Pixel. Where the applicable profile and your choices permit it, Four Winds uses one browser Pixel to measure page views and approved non-sensitive booking-interest events, including attribution associated with organic Facebook visits. Meta Conversions API, automatic advanced matching, and unrestricted automatic event collection are not used.
Microsoft Clarity. Where permitted, Four Winds uses Clarity for experience analytics on eligible main-site pages. Clarity is excluded from the Guesty booking domain in the initial release and from protected or sensitive routes. Four Winds does not intend Clarity to record checkout, payment, confirmation, reservation, or guest-sensitive information.
The release is designed not to send names, email addresses, telephone numbers, payment details, reservation identifiers, or booking-form contents to GA4, Meta, or Clarity. This describes the configured data boundary; it is not a promise that an independent provider can never infer information from ordinary technical data such as an IP address or device identifier.
Regional controls and Google consent behavior
Four Winds uses purpose-specific regional profiles. In a profile approved for default measurement, eligible tools may begin without an automatic popup, and Privacy Choices remains available. In the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, optional measurement remains off until an affirmative choice. If geography is missing or untrusted, optional measurement remains off.
Google Consent Mode uses Advanced behavior only for a profile and analytics purpose approved for default measurement. After an explicit analytics rejection or withdrawal, Four Winds switches to Basic behavior and blocks the affected Google measurement tags rather than intentionally sending denied-state measurement pings. Advertising-related Google consent signals remain denied.
A supported Global Privacy Control signal restricts Meta, Clarity, and advertising-related purposes. It does not automatically reject analytics that is not treated as sale or sharing under the approved profile, but an explicit analytics rejection remains controlling.
Direct booking and sensitive-route boundaries
When you use a direct-booking link, you continue to the Four Winds booking service at book.fourwindsvenue.com. Guesty processes reservation, payment, guest, and transaction information through its own platform. Four Winds receives information needed to answer inquiries, manage reservations, provide stays, maintain records, and meet applicable business or legal obligations.
The measurement configuration permits only approved public accommodation-browsing routes. Optional Meta collection is blocked on checkout, payment, confirmation, reservation, query-bearing, fragment-bearing, and unknown booking routes. Clarity remains completely off on the booking domain for the initial release. Granny Lou's Attic is also excluded from optional tracking without changing that page's protected source.
Cookies, browser storage, and retention
Necessary storage supports website operation and remembers privacy choices. The unified controller stores a versioned choice in a first-party fw_consent_v2 cookie scoped to .fourwindsvenue.com and may keep a same-origin local-storage copy for resilience. The configured preference lifetime is 180 days.
Policy version, expiration, corruption, region changes, and conflicting records are checked before a stored choice is reused. A newer rejection or withdrawal takes precedence over an older grant. Clearing or blocking storage can cause the sites to use conservative defaults or ask for a choice again.
When analytics is withdrawn, the controller blocks future affected tags and attempts to expire accessible Google Analytics cookies. When Meta is withdrawn, it revokes supported Pixel consent and attempts to expire accessible Meta cookies. When Clarity is withdrawn, it sends denied consent signals, attempts to expire accessible Clarity cookies, and reloads when needed. Browser restrictions and provider-controlled storage can limit what first-party code can remove. Provider retention periods are governed by provider settings and policies rather than the 180-day Four Winds preference period.
Privacy Choices, rejection, and withdrawal
Use the persistent Privacy Choices control to review analytics, Facebook measurement, and experience analytics separately. Where affirmative permission is required, one dialog is presented and silence is not recorded as consent. You may accept, reject, save a custom selection, reopen the control, or withdraw a previous choice.
An explicit rejection or withdrawal takes precedence over an older permission and over Guesty's native cookie-acceptance value. Necessary website and booking functions remain available, although blocking all browser storage may affect preference persistence or other site functions.
