Cookies Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookies Policy explains how BookingWhizz Ltd ("BookingWhizz," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at bookingwhizz.com and related sub-domains.

We use cookies in accordance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). Where cookies collect personal data, our Privacy Policy explains how we process and protect that data.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide usage information to website operators.

Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

3. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies including:

• Pixels / web beacons: tiny transparent images embedded in emails or web pages that track whether content has been viewed
• Local storage: data stored in your browser that persists across sessions, used for preferences and functionality
• Session storage: temporary data stored in your browser that is cleared when you close the tab or browser

References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

4. Cookies We Use

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access, and language preferences. These cookies do not require your consent under PECR and cannot be disabled.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting anonymous usage data. They allow us to measure and improve the performance of our site. These cookies are only set with your consent.

4.3 Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements relevant to you and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They track your browsing activity across websites. These cookies are only set with your consent.

4.4 Preference Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language or region) and provide enhanced, personalised features.

5. Your Consent

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent and are set automatically, as they are essential for the website to function.

For all other cookies (analytics, marketing, and preference cookies), we will only place them on your device after you have given your consent. You are free to withdraw consent at any time — this will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent given before its withdrawal.

6. Managing & Deleting Cookies

You can manage cookies through several methods:

Cookie Consent Banner

Use our cookie consent banner (displayed on your first visit) to select which categories of cookies you wish to allow. You can revisit and update your choices at any time.

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may impact your experience on our website. Some features may not work as intended if essential cookies are blocked.

Third-Party Opt-Out

You can also opt out of specific third-party tracking directly:

7. Cookies on Hotel Booking Websites

BookingWhizz provides booking engine technology to hotels. When you visit a hotel website powered by BookingWhizz, the hotel is the data controller and is responsible for its own cookie policy. Cookies set on those hotel websites are governed by the hotel's privacy and cookies policies, not this one.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for regulatory, operational, or legal reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
