We believe in complete transparency and empower you with full control over which non-essential technologies are stored on your terminal device.

1. What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file containing an alphanumeric string that a website stores on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit. Cookies enable the website to remember your actions, device display parameters, and preference settings over time, preventing you from repeatedly re-entering settings when navigating between pages.

3. Detailed Classification Explanations

A. Strictly Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the technical operation and basic navigation of the website. Without these tokens, core functionality such as responsive rendering, bot mitigation, and remembering that you dismissed the consent banner cannot be delivered. Under Article 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive, strictly essential cookies do not require prior consent, but we disclose them transparently.

B. Functional & Preference Tokens

Functional tokens allow the website to remember architectural settings, such as your preference for viewing cliffside or beachfront hotels, and ensure that video and wave animations execute smoothly according to your device’s GPU capabilities.

C. Privacy-First Analytics Cookies

We employ strictly anonymized, privacy-first analytical metrics to assess which hotel reviews attract reader interest. These analytics:

• Do NOT track your browsing habits across external domains.
• Do NOT construct advertising profiles or behavioral consumer dossiers.
• Automatically truncate IP addresses at the subnet level prior to storage.
• Are deactivated by default until you grant consent via our banner.
