Please note that this website uses cookies. A cookie is a small amount of information that is stored by a website on a user's computer. Cookies are used because websites have no memory. A user who goes from one page of a website to another is not recognised as the same user. Cookies allow the website to recognise the user's browser. Therefore, cookies are generally used to remember the options that the user has chosen (for example, to remember the language used) or to recognise users who frequent the website. If you continue without changing your settings, we will assume that you agree to them. Cookies can be “session” or permanent. Session cookies allow the user to be identified during the live session, which means that the cookies are stored and are only valid for the duration of an active session, i.e. during your visit to the website. These cookies do not permanently save any information on your computer's hard drive and expire at the end of the session. Our website uses 3 types of cookies:
- Technical cookies: We use technical cookies to display our website, make it work properly, create your user account, log you in and manage your bookings. These technical cookies are necessary for our website to function correctly.
- Functional cookies: We also use functional cookies to remember your preferences and to help you use our website efficiently and effectively, such as remembering your preferred currency and language, your searches and the shops you have visited. These functional cookies are not necessary for the operation of our website, but add functionality to improve the user experience.
- We use analytical cookies to understand how our users use the website, to detect what works and what doesn't, to optimise and improve the website and to ensure that our users continue to find our website interesting and relevant. The information we collect includes web pages visited, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp information and data such as the number of (mouse) clicks on a given page, mouse movements, scrolling and the (search) words you use and the text you type when using our website. This information is anonymous, as we only need it for statistical purposes.
On the website in general, cookies only collect certain information about the user (i.e. type of user's Internet browser, the user's operating system and the IP address from which the user accesses our website in order to facilitate browsing our website). In general, the cookies we use are only associated with an anonymous user and their computer and do not provide references that allow the name and surname of the user to be deduced. If you go to your browser settings (e.g. Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome) you can configure which cookies you want to accept or reject. Depending on the browser, the cookie settings will be in one place or another. You will be able to locate it if you use the “Help” function of your browser. You can also configure your browser to accept or reject all cookies by default or to receive an on-screen warning of the reception of each cookie and decide at that time whether or not to place it on your hard drive.
