What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. They help our site recognize your device, remember your preferences, and enhance your browsing experience.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for basic website functionality (e.g., security, page navigation, and access to secure areas).

Analytics Cookies: We use these cookies to collect information about how visitors interact with our site—for example, which pages are most visited and how users navigate between pages. This helps us improve site performance and user experience.

Preference Cookies: These cookies remember choices you make (such as your display language or region) to give you a more personalized experience.

Advertising and Affiliate Cookies: We partner with third-party advertisers and affiliate networks. These cookies track which pages you visit, which links you click, and whether any purchases are made through our affiliate links. This information allows us to:

Serve targeted advertisements based on your interests (e.g., beach-related offers, hotel deals).
Attribute affiliate commissions when you click through and complete a transaction on a partner site.
Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and optimize ad placement.

Types of Cookies We Use

Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They enable basic site functions and do not collect information for longer than a single browsing session.

Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period (hours, days, or even years) to remember your preferences and actions when you return to our site.

Third-Party Cookies: Cookies placed by other services we use, such as:

Analytics Providers (e.g., Google Analytics): These set cookies to gather aggregated, anonymous data about your interaction with our site.
Advertising Networks (e.g., Google AdSense, other ad exchange platforms): These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to serve relevant ads on our site and across other sites. They may track metrics like impressions, clicks, and conversions.
Affiliate Partners (e.g., Agoda, ResortPass, Viator): These cookies record when you click an affiliate link on our site and complete a booking or purchase. They allow us to earn a commission at no extra cost to you and help affiliates verify legitimate referrals.
Social Media Widgets (e.g., Facebook, Instagram share buttons): These may set cookies to remember your login status and track your interactions to personalize content if you're logged into those platforms.

Your Choices

Accept or Decline Cookies: You can choose to accept all cookies, receive a prompt before a cookie is set, or decline all but the essential cookies required for basic functionality.

Deleting Cookies: You can delete existing cookies at any time via your browser settings. Keep in mind that deleting cookies may remove saved preferences (e.g., language selection, login sessions) and affect site functionality.
