COOKIE POLICY
Every time you use our online services, cookies and other tracking technologies are used for various reasons, such as making the Young People Hotels website work, analyzing traffic, or for advertising purposes. These technologies can be used directly by us or through our business partners, including external providers of services and advertising with whom we work. If you want to know more about cookies, how they are used, and what your options are, read on.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data that is deposited in your computer or mobile device browser. The so-called “proprietary cookies” are those attributable to the operator who is currently managing the site that issued the cookie itself. YoungPeopleHotels cookies, therefore, are “proprietary cookies.” In case we also authorize other parties to issue cookies through the Booking.com sites and apps, those cookies are called “third-party cookies.”
There is also a further difference between session cookies and permanent cookies. Session ones have a limited duration and are deleted when the browser is closed, while permanent ones have a longer duration and are not automatically deleted when the browser is closed. We do our best to use or authorize cookies with a maximum duration of 5 years. Only in exceptional cases, for example, for security reasons and when strictly necessary, a cookie may have a longer duration.
In addition to using cookies, we also use similar technologies. These include “web beacons” (also known as pixel tags, web bugs, or gifs), tracking URLs, or SDKs (application development packages). A web beacon is a small graphic object composed of a single pixel that arrives on your computer as part of a web page, app, advertisement, or via an HTML email. Pixels can be used to collect information about your device, such as type, operating system, IP address, and visit time. They are also used to issue and read cookies in your browser. Tracking URLs are used to establish from which site your visit to the Booking.com site or apps originated. Finally, SDKs are small portions of code included in apps that work like cookies and web beacons.
In this Cookie Policy, all these technologies are called “cookies.”
How are cookies used?
Cookies are used for different purposes. Cookies allow you to be recognized as a unique user when you visit different pages of a site, different sites, or when you use apps. The types of information we collect through cookies include IP address; device ID, pages visited; browser type; browsing data; operating system; internet service provider; timestamp; whether you responded to an ad; referral URL; features used, and activities performed within websites/apps.
Our site and apps use cookies for the following purposes:
Technical cookies: We want to offer our visitors a cutting-edge and easy-to-use site that automatically adapts to their needs and desires. To make this happen, we use technical cookies to allow you to view our website, make it work correctly, create your account, log in, and manage your bookings. Technical cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our site.
Functional cookies: We use functional cookies to remember your preferences and help you use our website and apps effectively and efficiently. If you use Booking.com sites and apps to search for a Trip, for example, these cookies can remember the currency and language you prefer, your searches, and the Travel Providers you have previously viewed. We may also use cookies to remember your registration information, so you don’t have to enter login details every time you visit the site. Passwords are always encrypted. Functional cookies are not essential for the operation of our site or app, but they add functionality and enhance your overall experience on Booking.com.
“Analytical cookies: We use analytical cookies to better understand how our visitors use the Booking.com website, to understand what works and what doesn’t, to optimize and improve the site and apps, to measure the effectiveness of marketing and communications, and to ensure that the platforms are always interesting and relevant. The data we gather includes visited web pages, entry and exit pages, platform type, which emails you have opened, and information about the date and time.
This type of cookie also allows us to know how you interact with the site, for example, through the number of clicks you make on a specific page, mouse movements, scrolling, searched words, and text entered in various fields. We also use analytical cookies in the context of our online advertising campaigns, to understand how users interact with our site or apps after viewing online advertising, including advertising on third-party sites. Our commercial partners may also use analytical cookies to know if their users take advantage of the offers integrated into their sites.
Commercial cookies: We use our own and third-party cookies to display personalized advertising on our and other websites. This practice is called “retargeting” and is based on browsing activities, such as destinations you have searched for, properties you have viewed, and prices that have been shown to you.
