Cookie Policy

Cookies are little morsels of information that are created when you visit our site, or any website for that matter.

These cookies were originally supposed to make the web run faster. A web page could install a cookie with your preferences and load faster when you visited again, remember what language you want and so forth. We use these cookies, and you can choose to disable them if you want.

But why are you constantly seeing cookie policy notifications? And what do they have to do with privacy policy?

Well, not all cookies are created equal and for years websites have been installing cookies that monitor what you browse and are interested in. They then either forward this information about you to a third party or use it themselves through a third-party platform like Google or Facebook.

For instance, Luxury Adventures uses Google Analytics to analyze the traffic through our site. We also use Google Ads and that data is used to advertise to people we think might be interested in our services. You can of course opt-out of this, and we completely understand. We also share information about your use of our site with our trusted social media, advertising, and analytics partners. You have the right to give and withdraw your consent to this at any time.

Our cookies are meant to be productive and beneficial to everyone. We analyze where the traffic comes from, what our visitors are interested in, how they behave on our website and, if they are interested, we offer them our services. We do not gather more data and we do not try to link your data to other personal data to identify you. The data you choose to entrust to us is safe and we will not use it in any way that is not disclosed in this policy.

Your rights regarding the company’s processing

You are entitled to request access to the personal data we process on you. Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to request that we erase or amend your personal data.

Luxury Adventures reserves the right to review this policy in accordance with changes to applicable legislation or regulations or in relation to changes in the company’s processing of personal data.
