For example, analytics cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages on our website, allowing us to provide the most popular information relevant to you. They help us record how you interact with our websites, such as how you navigate around pages and from page to page; identifying improvements we can make to the customer journey.

Web beacons
These are bits of data that count the number of users who access a website or webpage and can also allow us to see if a cookie has been activated. Web beacons used on web pages or in e-mails allow us to see how successful a campaign has been or that an e-mail message was successfully delivered and read in a marketing campaign. Web beacons are also used to verify any clicks through to links or advertisements contained in e-mails. We may use this information to help us identify which e-mails are more interesting to you and to inform advertisers how many customers have clicked on their advertisements (this information is aggregated and does not identify you individually).

Tracking URLs
Tracking URLs are a special web link that allows us to measure when a link is clicked on. They are used to help us measure the effectiveness of campaigns and advertising and the popularity of sections of the site.

Device ID
If you access our website or engage with our advertisements on your mobile device we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, geo-location data, and other transactional information for that device. We may also use the unique identifier to validate free trials, or assess if you have visited a location, for example.

Tracking, advertising cookies and similar technologies
We use these types of technologies to provide advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. This can be done by delivering online advertisements based on your previous web browsing activity, known as “online behavioral advertising” (OBA). Cookies are placed on your browser which will remember the websites you have visited. Advertising based on what you have been looking at is then displayed to you when you visit websites who use the same advertising exchanges.

For example: You may be doing online research in order to visit a destination and read a number of articles about destinations across various websites. As you browse those sites a cookie from advertising technologies would be placed in your browser. It would remember that you had visited several websites related to destination traveling. Then, when you visited another website in the same advertising exchange, the website could show you an advertising related to travel.
