Last updated: December 31, 2024

This Cookie Policy explains how Wonder-escape ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit wonder-escape.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.

By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree, you may adjust your browser settings or refrain from using our website.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owners.

Cookies are not harmful programs. They cannot access other files on your device, and they do not carry viruses or malware. A cookie can only be read by the website that created it.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as:

• Web beacons — small transparent image files used to track user behaviour on a page or in an email
• Pixel tags — code embedded in web pages or emails that records activity
• Local storage objects — data stored directly in your browser beyond the standard cookie mechanism
• Session storage — temporary data held only for the duration of a browser session

For simplicity, all of these technologies are referred to collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submission. The website cannot operate properly without them.

These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes and do not remember where you have been on the internet. Because they are essential, they cannot be disabled.

• Session management and authentication
• Security and fraud prevention
• Load balancing across servers
• Remembering items in forms during a session

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether they receive error messages. This data is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify you personally.

We use this information to improve how our website works and to understand which content is most useful to our visitors.

• Tracking page views and session duration
• Identifying the most and least popular pages
• Monitoring site speed and technical performance
• Recording error events for troubleshooting

2.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made in order to provide a more personalised experience. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

• Remembering your language or region preferences
• Storing display or layout preferences
• Retaining information you have entered in forms across sessions
• Recognising when you have previously visited the site

2.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We may use this information to make our website and any advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

• Building a profile of your interests based on browsing behaviour
• Limiting how many times you see an advertisement
• Measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
• Enabling social media sharing features

2.5 Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. These third parties may include analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy policies of the relevant third parties for more information.

3. How Long Cookies Last

Cookies can remain on your device for different lengths of time depending on their purpose:

• Session cookies — these are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies — these remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually

The specific duration of each cookie we use depends on its function. Strictly necessary cookies are typically session-based. Analytics and functional cookies may persist for a period ranging from a few days to several months. Advertising cookies may persist for a longer period as defined by the third party that sets them.

5. Your Choices and Controls

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to:

• Accept all cookies
• Notify you when a cookie is set
• Refuse all cookies
• Delete cookies that have already been set

Please refer to your browser's help documentation to find instructions specific to your browser and version. Note that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of our website, and some features may not work as intended if cookies are disabled.

5.2 Opt-Out Tools

For analytics and advertising cookies placed by third parties, you may be able to opt out using tools provided by those third parties directly. Many advertising networks also participate in industry opt-out programmes that allow you to opt out of targeted advertising across participating services.

5.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for how these signals should be interpreted. We will review this position as standards develop.

5.4 Withdrawing Consent

Where your consent is required for the use of non-essential cookies, you may withdraw that consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or browser settings. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

6. Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies we use may collect data that, alone or in combination with other information, could identify you as an individual. Where this is the case, the collection and use of that data is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information, the legal basis for processing, your rights, and how to exercise them.

We encourage you to read our Privacy Policy alongside this Cookie Policy for a complete picture of how we handle your information.

7. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or embed content from external services. These third parties operate independently and have their own cookie and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices and recommend reviewing their policies before interacting with their content.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
