Cookie Policy

1. Purpose of This Page

This Cookie Notice describes how this website uses cookies and related technologies when you access or interact with the platform. These technologies help us maintain the technical operation of the website, measure performance, understand how visitors use the platform, remember user choices, and support affiliate referral and booking attribution. Where applicable law requires it, we obtain your consent before using any cookies or technologies that are not strictly necessary.

2. How This Notice Fits with Our Privacy Practices

This Notice explains our use of cookies, tracking tools, and similar technologies on the website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and protect personal data, including data that may be associated with cookie identifiers or similar technologies.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies Explained

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your browser or device, retain settings, support technical functions, analyse usage patterns, and improve the overall user experience. In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, and local storage, where appropriate for equivalent operational, analytical, or attribution purposes.

4. Why We Use These Technologies

We use cookies and related technologies to support the proper functioning of the website and to ensure that content is delivered reliably and securely. We also use them to measure how visitors navigate and interact with the platform so that we can improve performance, usability, and relevance. Certain technologies allow us to remember settings and preferences for future visits. We also use tracking tools to record referral activity, including visits, clicks, and booking-related interactions connected with affiliate partners.

5. Categories of Cookies We Rely On

The website uses several categories of cookies and similar technologies depending on the purpose involved. Strictly necessary cookies are used to enable essential site functions, maintain security, and support core website services, including navigation and access to operational features, and these cookies do not require consent where permitted by law. Analytics cookies help us understand how users engage with the website by collecting information such as page views, time spent on pages, and interaction behaviour, and we use this information to improve site performance and user experience. Affiliate tracking cookies are used to record referral activity when users click booking links or interact with partner content, and they help attribute visits, bookings, and related actions to the correct affiliate partner or network. Preference cookies store user selections, such as language choices or cookie settings, in order to provide a more consistent and efficient experience. Marketing or campaign measurement cookies may also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of promotional activity and improve the relevance of content or campaigns, and where such cookies are used, they are deployed only in accordance with applicable legal requirements and, where necessary, on the basis of user consent.

6. Use of Third-Party Technologies

Some cookies and similar technologies on the website are placed or operated by third-party providers that support analytics, affiliate referral systems, booking attribution, campaign measurement, consent management, tag deployment, embedded functionality, and related technical services. These third parties may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie notices. A more detailed overview of active cookies, providers, and purposes may be available through the cookie settings tool or consent interface used on the website. Users should review the policies of relevant third-party providers before interacting with external services or completing bookings through third-party platforms.

7. Legal Grounds for Cookie Processing in the European Union

Where European data protection and ePrivacy laws apply, the legal basis for using cookies depends on the type of technology involved. Strictly necessary cookies are used without consent where they are essential for the operation, security, or core functionality of the website. Analytics, preference, affiliate tracking, and marketing cookies are used only where this is permitted under applicable law and, where required, only after the user has given valid consent. Users may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie settings mechanism made available on the website.

8. Duration of Cookie Storage

The storage period for cookies and related technologies varies according to their purpose and technical design. Some cookies are session-based and expire automatically when the browser is closed, while others remain on the device for a fixed period or until manually deleted. Depending on the relevant function, cookies may remain active from a single browsing session up to 12 months. Analytics, preference, and affiliate tracking technologies are generally retained only for the period reasonably necessary to support measurement, attribution, functionality, and reporting.

9. Your Choices and Controls

Users may decide how non-essential cookies are used on the website. When first visiting the platform, users may accept or reject non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or consent interface, where required by law. Consent may later be withdrawn or adjusted at any time through the cookie settings panel. In addition, most browsers allow users to review, block, or delete cookies through browser-level controls. Please note that restricting certain cookies may affect the operation of the website and may reduce the availability or performance of some features and services.

10. Cross-Border Processing of Cookie-Related Data

Because the website operates internationally and uses service providers, affiliate systems, analytics providers, and technical infrastructure located in multiple jurisdictions, information associated with cookies and similar technologies may be processed outside the user's country of residence. This may include processing in the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and other jurisdictions relevant to the operation of the platform and related services. Where cookie-related personal data is transferred from the European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards are applied, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required by applicable law.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may revise this Cookie Notice from time to time in order to reflect legal, technical, operational, or business changes affecting the use of cookies and similar technologies on the website. Any updated version will be made available on this page, and the Effective Date at the top of this Notice will be amended accordingly.
