Cookie Policy & Commercial Affiliate Disclosure

EU ePrivacy Directive & Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Transparency Statement

1. LocalStorage & Essential Technologies

GreekScout.com uses local browser storage (localStorage) to enable user-friendly directory features:

• gv_saved_villas: Stores the villa listings you bookmark by clicking the heart icon (♡) so you can review them at /saved/.
• gv_saved_searches: Stores custom map coordinates and active filter settings when you click “Save this map view”.

These storage entries remain strictly on your local device and are never sold or transmitted to third parties.

2. Commercial Affiliate Disclosure (FTC & EU Compliance)

GreekScout.com operates on a 0% commission direct-to-owner directory model. To maintain our independent infrastructure, research pipeline, and mapping systems without charging subscription fees to Greek villa owners, we may participate in select affiliate marketing programs.

When you click on certain outbound partner links (such as “Check Live Prices & Availability” powered by Stay22, Booking.com, DiscoverCars car rentals, or Welcome Pickups airport transfers) and complete a booking, GreekScout may receive a modest referral commission at zero additional cost to you. We strictly disclaim any influence of commercial arrangements over our objective editorial curation standards.
