As of 25 May 2018 onwards, you and your personal data will be protected by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (which is otherwise known as GDPR). We will only process your personal data as set out in our privacy policy or otherwise notified to or agreed by you or as we are otherwise permitted to do in accordance with data protection laws.

We will seek this consent when necessary.
We will only collect personal information from you by specifically asking for it:

Please note that in order for us to provide you with optimum service, we use ‘Cookies’ on our website.
A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer’s hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. Cookies will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. Two types of cookies are used on this web site – session cookies, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site, and persistent cookies, which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie).
Cookies allow us to obtain information regarding users of our site which essentially helps us to provide you with a better user experience and tailor our services to your individual needs. We may collect information such as your IP address, online activity, web browser details, and online activity. We will not, however, collect or store any of your passwords or other highly sensitive data.
By using our website with your browser settings adjusted to accept all cookies, we will take this to mean that you want to use our products and services and that you consent to our use of cookies and other technologies as described in this Policy.
Browser settings: Most browsers have options that allow the visitor to control whether the browser will accept cookies, reject cookies, or notify the visitor each time a cookie is sent. You may elect to reject cookies by adjusting your browser’s settings, but doing so will limit the range of features available to the visitor on our site and most other major websites that use cookies.
We use the following types of cookies on our website:
These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies services, you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works. By using our website, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.”
In addition to using cookies and related technologies as described above, we also may permit certain third-party companies to help us tailor advertising that we think may be of interest to users and to collect and use other data about user activities on our Sites and/or Services (e.g., to allow them to tailor ads on third party services). These companies may deliver ads that might also place cookies and otherwise track user behavior.
This website uses the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an inquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Croatia Top Villas website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy.
With remarketing, you may see ads for our products you have previously looked at. For this to happen, Google or other remarketing providers will read a cookie that is already in your browser, or they place a cookie in your browser when you visit our site (This can only happen if your browser is set to let it happen).
We also use cookies to monitor and understand more about how our websites and services are used and accessed, which in turn lets us optimize the user experience and build a website that suits the needs of our users and drive the direction of our business.
We use Google Analytics who stores cookies on your device to generate anonymous reports and statistics.
Google stores this information in accordance with its privacy policy.

We take website security very seriously and we are committed to safeguarding your personal information. We take a number of administrative and technical steps, including conducting periodic Data Privacy Impact Assessments to ensure the security of the information you provide to us.
Links to other websites and any information collected by these sites are not covered by this privacy statement.
As our privacy statement may change due to developments in the law we encourage you to re-read this from time to time so you are aware of any changes in how we gather and use your personal information.
