1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website.

They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, session state, or how you interact with pages and booking tools.

Some cookies last only while your browser session remains open, while others may remain on your device for a longer period unless deleted earlier.

2) Similar technologies

In this Policy, we use the term “cookies” broadly to refer not only to browser cookies, but also to similar technologies such as:

  • localStorage and sessionStorage,
  • pixels and tags,
  • software development kits (SDKs),
  • device identifiers,
  • tracking URLs or attribution parameters,
  • server-side event matching or measurement tools.

3) Why we use them

We may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:

  • operating the website and core booking flows,
  • keeping users authenticated or session-aware where relevant,
  • saving cookie preferences and consent choices,

  • understanding traffic, performance, and engagement,
  • preventing fraud, abuse, or suspicious activity,
  • measuring marketing effectiveness and attribution where applicable,
  • improving design, features, and user experience.
