This page discloses World Adventures Ltd cookie policy, which applies to this website (‘theholidaypeople.com’). If you do not accept this Cookie Policy please do not visit or use this site. By using this site, you specifically consent to our use of cookies in the ways outlined below.
1. About Cookies For almost any modern website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information on its users. To do this, a site will create files known as cookies – which are small text files – on its users’ computers. These cookies are designed to allow the website to recognise its users on subsequent visits, or to authorise other designated websites to recognise these users for a particular purpose. For more information see: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/
2. Types of Cookies *Session and persistent cookies Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (from when a user opens the browser window to when they exit the browser) or they can be stored for longer.
Session cookies – allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session. They may be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering what a user has put in their shopping basket as they browse around a site. They could also be used for security when a user is accessing internet banking or to facilitate use of webmail. These session cookies expire after a browser session so would not be stored longer term. For this reason session cookies may sometimes be considered less privacy intrusive than persistent cookies.
Persistent cookies – are stored on a users’ device in between browser sessions which allows the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes including remembering users’ preferences and choices when using a site or to target advertising.
*First and third party cookies. Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First party cookies in basic terms are cookies set by a website visited by the user - the website displayed in the URL window. Third party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a separate company sets a cookie through that website this would be a third party cookie.
3. How does World Adventures Ltd use cookies? We use third party anonymous analytics cookies. Every time a user visits our website, web analytics software provided by a third party generates an anonymous analytics cookie.
Specifically, we use Google Analytics, which uses cookies to tell us how and when the site is used, including details of your operating system, browser version, domain name, IP address and the details of the web site you came from. You can find out more about the use of cookies for Google Analytics here.
4. How do I turn cookies off? Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can alter the settings of your browser to erase cookies or prevent automatic acceptance if you prefer.
