Cookies Policy

In accordance to the local legislation and applicable international legislation, Medine has issued the following cookie policy.

 

When you visit our website, we’ll use cookies to ensure you get the best experience. These cookies might be about you, your preferences or your device.

 

The information does not usually directly identify you, but it can give you a more personalised web experience.

 

Because we respect your right to privacy, you can choose not to allow some types of cookies. Click on the different category headings to find out more and change our default settings.

 

However, blocking some types of cookies may impact your experience of the site and the services we are able to offer. For more information on how we process your personal data and the cookies we use, please click ‘Privacy Policy’.

 

We will need to use a cookie to remember the choices you have made within our cookie privacy manager. This means:

 

  • If you delete all your cookies you will have to update your preferences with us again.
  • If you use a different device or browser you will have to tell us your preferences again.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are simple text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded on your device when you access our website. All information stored on a cookie is anonymous, harmless and no personal information is being collected.

 

Essential Cookies: Essential Cookies are necessary for the Site to work, and enable you to move around it and use its services and features. Disabling these Cookies may make the services and features unavailable.

 

Functional Cookies: We use Functional Cookies to save your settings on the Site — settings such as your language preference, or booking information you have previously used when making a reservation at Casela, for example. We also use Functional Cookies to store such things as the last item you searched for, so that you can easily find it the next time you visit. Some Functional Cookies are essential to viewing maps or videos on our Site. We also use “Flash Cookies” for some of our animated content.

 

Session Cookies: These types of Cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from your device when you close the browser. We use Session Cookies to support the functionality of the Site and to understand your use of the Site—that is, which pages you visit, which links you use and how long you stay on each page.

 

Persistent Cookies: These types of Cookies are not deleted when you close your browser, but are saved on your device for a fixed period of time or until you delete them. Each time you visit the Site, the server that sets the Cookie will recognise the persistent Cookie saved on your device. We and others use persistent Cookies to store your preferences, so that they are available for your next visit, to keep a more accurate account of how often you visit the Site, how often you return, how your use of the Site may vary over time and the effectiveness of advertising efforts.

 

Advertising Cookies: Advertising cookies allow us and other advertisers to show you the most relevant products, offers, and advertisements on the Site and third-party sites, or through emails or other message platforms. For example, some Advertising Cookies help our service providers and other advertisers select advertisements that are based on your interests, including those expressed or inferred by visits to our websites or apps or across other websites, online services, and apps over time. Others help prevent the same advertisement from continuously reappearing for you. These types of Cookies also help us provide you with content on the Site that is tailored to your interests and needs.

 

As noted below, some Analytics Cookies and Other Technologies are used in part to facilitate advertising.

 

Advertising Cookies also include Social Plug-In Cookies. Social Plug-In Cookies are used to share content from the Site with members and non-members of social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest. These Cookies are usually set by the social networking provider, enabling such sharing to be smooth and seamless.

 

Analytics Cookies collect information about your use of the Site and enable us to improve the way it works. These Cookies give us aggregated information that we use to monitor site performance, count page visits, spot technical errors, see how users reach the Site, and measure the effectiveness of advertising (including emails we send to you).

 

Other Technologies may be used for the same purposes as our Cookies, to allow us and third parties to know when you visit the Site, and to understand how you interact with emails or advertisements. Through Other Technologies, non-personal information (e.g., your operating system, your browser version, and the URL you came from) or aggregate information may be obtained and used to enhance your experience and understand traffic patterns.

WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

Cookies may be used on the Site in order to improve your experience. For example, we will use Cookies to:

  • Remember your language and other preferences;
  • Ensure you obtain all requested information;
  • Provide a safe and secure service for online transactions;
  • Track your response to advertisements and website or app content for analysis and the number of times we send you the same advertisement;
  • Measure how many people use the Site, and how they use it, so that we may keep it running quickly and efficiently; and
  • Help us and others deliver communications and content to you that are relevant and responsive to your interests and location.

HOW DO YOU ACCEPT OUR COOKIE POLICY?

Once your consent has been given, this cookie banner and message will not appear again when you revisit our website. If you visit the website on another device, browser or with a different browser setting, you will need to consent to our cookie policy again. Should you or any other user of your devices wish to withdraw your consent at any time, you can do so by altering your browser settings or following the advice provided on this policy.
