Cookie Policy

1. What cookies and local storage are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser to remember something between pages or visits — for example, that you are signed in. Local storage is a similar browser feature: data saved on your device that websites can read back, but which is not automatically sent with every request. This policy covers both, and forms part of our Privacy Policy.

2. How Book Funduq uses them

What we store falls into three groups: entries that are strictly necessary for the Platform to function, preferences you actively choose (such as your display currency), and advertising measurement tags that let us see how our advertising performs. The third group consists of the Google Ads tag (gtag.js, ID AW-18318327257), Google Analytics 4 (ID G-SNEL47470Y), which measures how the site is used and runs as a second target on the same script, and the Meta Pixel (ID 1357467453184746), both loaded on every page. They measure page views and completed bookings, allow us to see the result of our advertising spend, and enable remarketing on the Google and Meta advertising networks. These tags do not receive your name, email address or payment details; they work with online identifiers, your IP address, browser information, the pages you visit, and — when a booking is completed — the booking code and amount. These advertising tags currently load when you open the site without asking for your separate consent; if you do not want them, you can block them using the methods in "Managing cookies and local storage" below.

3. What we set, item by item

4. Third-party services

• Payment — when you pay, the secure payment component is served by our payment service provider and may set its own strictly necessary cookies or storage for payment security, 3-D Secure authentication and fraud prevention. See the payment service provider's own privacy and cookie documentation for details.
• Sign in with Google — if you choose to sign in with Google, Google processes that sign-in under its own policies. We receive only your basic account identity.
• Google Ads — we use the Google tag (gtag.js) for advertising measurement, conversion tracking and remarketing. Provider: Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Google LLC; data may also be processed outside the European Union, including in the United States. Details: policies.google.com/privacy and policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
• Google Analytics 4 — we use Google Analytics to measure how the site is used (which pages, which device, where visitors come from); it runs through the SAME gtag.js tag as Google Ads (ID G-SNEL47470Y). Provider: Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Google LLC; data may also be processed outside the European Union, including in the United States. Details: policies.google.com/privacy.
• Meta Pixel — we use the Meta Pixel to measure the effect of our Meta advertising and for remarketing. Provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Ireland); data may also be processed in the United States by Meta Platforms, Inc. Details: facebook.com/privacy/policy and facebook.com/policies/cookies.
• Maps — interactive maps are provided by our map provider, Mapbox. The map component may use local storage for technical operation of the map and may send usage telemetry to the provider; we do not disable this telemetry. See Mapbox's own privacy documentation for details.

5. Managing cookies and local storage

You can delete or block cookies and clear local storage at any time in your browser settings (usually under Privacy or Site data). Note that deleting strictly necessary items has direct effects: clearing the session cookie signs you out, and clearing preferences resets your language and currency to defaults. If you also want to opt out of the advertising measurement tags, you can use the following routes:

• Browser settings — block third-party cookies, delete cookies, or turn on your browser's tracking protection.
• Ad and tracker blockers — such browser extensions stop the advertising tags from loading at all.
• Google ads — you can turn off personalised ads at myadcenter.google.com.
• Google Analytics — you can switch Google Analytics measurement off entirely with the official browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Meta ads — you can limit ad personalisation in the ad preferences section of your Facebook or Instagram account.
• Industry opt-out tools — youronlinechoices.eu in Europe and optout.aboutads.info in the United States.
