Our Website’s Cookie Policy

‍

Our website uses cookies as described below, including for advertising personalization. By not disabling cookies in your browser and continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.

You can change your preferences at any time by adjusting your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may negatively affect your experience of our website.

Visitors to a website that uses cookies must receive information about:

• the fact that the website uses cookies,
• what the cookies are used for,
• who uses the information, and
• how cookies can be avoided.

Additionally, as a visitor, you must consent to the use of cookies, for example through your browser settings, but you must also be given the opportunity to refuse cookies.

What Are Cookies and What Are They Used For?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored on your device (mobile phone, computer, or tablet). They are commonly used on the internet. Some cookies are necessary for you to be able to use all the functions of the website, while others are used to improve your user experience and facilitate navigation.

There are two types of cookies: permanent cookies and temporary cookies (so-called session cookies).

• Permanent cookies are stored on your device for a longer period to tailor the website to your preferences, choices, and interests. For example, they can be used to show you what is new since your last visit. When the expiry date has passed, the cookie is deleted when you return to the website that created it.
• Session cookies are temporarily placed on your device when you visit a website. They are sent between your computer and the server during your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. For example, they are used to remember your language selection.

Examples of How Cookies Are Used

• When you log in to a website, a cookie is placed on your device. With each page you visit, the cookie is sent back to the site so that it can recognize that you are logged in, allowing you to avoid entering your username and password on every page.
• To customize websites according to your preferences – for example, layout, contrast or font size, or preferred sorting or filtering options.
• On websites that sell services, cookies are used to make booking or ordering easier.
• To record which people have visited which pages. This information may be used to select appropriate advertising and tailor content (often using third-party cookies).
• To analyze traffic and gather statistics in order to improve the website and learn more about different target groups (many of these are third-party cookies).
• To remember language selections, booking codes, or membership levels.

Different Types of Cookies

Cookies can be categorized by their function:

• Necessary cookies:
  These are required for certain functions to work, for example during payment or to identify and verify the user. If you refuse these cookies, some functions will not be available.
• Performance and functionality cookies:
  These make your use of the website easier and more personalized. For example, they help customize information and offers to match your previous interests. These cookies also collect information (e.g., popular pages and usage patterns) to help us improve the website and our digital services. Refusing these cookies will limit functionality.
• Marketing cookies:
  These are often third-party cookies, i.e. set by our partners rather than by us. They use information about your activity on our and other websites (e.g., sites you visit or ads you respond to) to provide advertising that is more relevant to you, both on our website and elsewhere. These are known as “interest-based ads.” Refusing these cookies may reduce your user experience.

If You Want to Avoid Cookies

Cookies are not used to damage or destroy your device. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, if you do not want to allow cookies, you can refuse them in your browser settings and delete any stored cookies from your hard drive. You can also set your browser to notify you when it receives a cookie, giving you the opportunity to accept or reject it. More information on this can be found from your browser provider, or at www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Some third-party cookies, however, are beyond our control. These can only be disabled on the respective third party’s website, following their instructions. Refusing cookies may mean that some of our digital services will not function as intended.

Why We Use Cookies

By using cookies, our website recognizes your device when you return, so you do not need to re-enter certain data each time you use our digital services. Cookies also help us tailor services to your needs, for example by remembering your language choice. By tracking what you have previously shown interest in, we can display information and offers that better match your preferences, making the website easier to use.

We use cookies to analyze search and usage behavior on and outside our website, in order to further develop our digital services. The purpose is to optimize user experience, personalize marketing, and gather statistics.

We may also use other companies that, on our behalf, set cookies to deliver services they provide.

Consent to the Use of Cookies

By continuing to use our website and keeping your browser settings to allow cookies, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.

Which Cookies We Use

On our digital services, information is collected and stored using technology from various analytics tools. This information can be used to create pseudonymous user profiles. Cookies may be used for this purpose. We also use third-party cookies, which are mainly used to measure traffic and identify which service you last visited. You can read more about Google’s policies here.

Would you like me to adapt this text further to sound more like a polished legal text for an international website (e.g. ICEBAR’s English site), or keep it in this clear, slightly more explanatory tone for general users?
