1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as language, login state, or booking flow selections) over time.
We also use similar technologies (e.g., pixels or local storage) for comparable purposes. For simplicity, this policy refers to them as “cookies”.
2) Why we use cookies
- Essential operations: security, session management, form submissions, and core booking/search flows.
- Preferences: remembering settings like currency/language (if enabled) and UI preferences.
- Performance insights: understanding which pages work well and where users face friction.
- Marketing (optional): measuring campaigns and showing relevant ads (only where you consent and where applicable).
3) Cookie categories we may use
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the website to function, including security and basic navigation. | Session cookies, security tokens, consent state |
| Functional | Remembers choices to enhance usability (e.g., saved preferences). | Language/currency preference, UI settings |
| Analytics | Helps us understand usage patterns and improve content and conversion flow. | Page views, events, performance metrics |
| Marketing | Used to measure advertising effectiveness and deliver relevant promotions. | Ad conversion tags, remarketing identifiers |
4) Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be placed by trusted third parties that support our services—such as analytics providers, embedded maps/videos, payment gateways, or booking/CRM tools. These third parties may process data according to their own policies.
- We aim to keep third-party tools to a minimum and align them with a privacy-first posture.
- Where consent banners are enabled, non-essential third-party cookies should only load after your consent (where applicable).
5) How to control cookies
You can manage cookies at two levels: (1) on our site (via consent settings, where available) and (2) in your browser/device settings.
- Browser settings: block or delete cookies, or set rules per site.
- Private mode: reduces persistence of stored cookies after the session ends.
- Device controls: manage advertising identifiers in mobile OS settings (if applicable).
6) Cookie retention
Some cookies expire when you close your browser (“session cookies”). Others remain for a defined period (“persistent cookies”) to remember settings or support analytics. Retention varies by cookie purpose and provider configuration.
7) Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy to reflect platform changes, compliance needs, or improvements to how we use cookies. The updated date at the top of the page will always indicate the latest version.
