What Data We Collect

a) Data You Provide Voluntarily

• Email address — when you subscribe to our newsletter through MailerLite.
• Email content — if you contact us at info@tarrava.com.

We do not collect your name, phone number, payment information, or any other personal data through our website.

b) Data Collected Automatically

• Analytics data — through Google Analytics 4 (see below).
• Technical data — such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This data is collected automatically by our hosting provider (Infomaniak) and Google Analytics.

Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (USA). GA4 uses cookies and similar technologies to help us understand how visitors use our website.

What GA4 collects: pages visited, session duration, approximate geographic location (country/city level), device and browser type, referral source, and user interactions.

IP anonymization: GA4 does not log full IP addresses. Google processes data on servers that may be located outside of Switzerland and the EU.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — we need to understand how our content performs to improve our guides.

Opt out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can also manage cookies in your browser settings.
