2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser when you visit it. They allow, for example, the page to work properly, your preferences to be remembered or us to know how the website is used so we can improve it. By “cookies” we also mean similar technologies, such as the browser's local storage.

• By duration: session cookies, deleted when you close the browser, or persistent cookies, kept for a set time.
• By purpose:
  • Technical or necessary: essential for the website to work (browsing, using the booking form or saving your cookie choice). They do not require your consent.
  • Preferences: remember your choices, such as language.
  • Analytics: tell us how many people visit the website and which pages they view, so we can improve it.
