Cookies Policy

1 What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file that generates information that is saved on a computer, tablet or mobile device when the user browses the Internet so that the electronic device can subsequently be recognised on the same website. Our cookies installed on our website, as well as those of our trading partners and other parties, do not personally recognise individuals, only the electronic device that they use. Cookies do not damage the device in any way; they just allow access to various important functions of the website. For example, they allow you to make bookings and to return to pages that you have previously searched for. They are also used to keep the website safe, to remember your preferences and to personalise the website’s content to make it more relevant to you.
At all times, website users have the option to allow and/or control the installation and use of cookies on their electronic devices.

2. Our cookies policy

You must accept cookies in order to make full use of this website, as well as of your computer, tablet or mobile device when you browse the Internet, as many online functionalities have been specifically designed to function using cookies. It should be emphasised that the cookies installed by this website do not save any of your personal information or sensitive data (like your name, address or payment details).
To ensure that the information about cookies is as clear as possible, we have split it up into the following 5 categories:

Fundamental cookies
These allow you to move around the website and to use its functions (for example, to access secure areas of the website). Without these cookies, we are not able to provide you with the services that you have requested (such as the use of shopping baskets or access to your orders). Fundamental cookies are the only category that you do not need to accept in order to use our website. You can find further information about what happens if you do not allow the installation of cookies in the corresponding section at the end of this policy.
Below can be found a list of the main “fundamental cookies” used, along with an explanation about what they are used for:
• Soleo Marbella: allows visitors to be controlled and remembered. Soleo Marbella cookies are only used with users who are connected to the system and with users who make comments. They allow functionalities related to requests and purchases of products and services through web pages.

Performance and analytics cookies
These collect statistical information about how the website is used (such as the pages that are visited most often and whether error messages are generated by the web pages). The aggregated information from these cookies will only be used to improve the functioning of the website.
Many of these cookies are third party cookies. However, below can be found a list of the main “performance cookies” that are used, along with explanations of what they are used for:
• Google Analytics: allows an anonymous user ID to be created, which can be used to keep track of the number of times a user visits a website. It also logs the first and last times that the website is visited. Finally, it calculates when sessions are closed, the user origin and the keywords used. In short, it monitors traffic, visits and purchases, etc.
• Google Adwords: these allow ads related to e-commerce on the website to be monitored.
• Ict.infinity-tracking.net: allows ads related to e-commerce on the website to be monitored.
• Google Optimizer: allows for improvements to website performance.
• Adserver: used to monitor advertisements.

Functionality cookies
These remember the options that you have chosen on the website (such as the different searches performed) and provide better and more personalised functions. They can also be used to provide services that you have requested (such as viewing a video or commenting on a blog). This cookies cannot tell you how to browse, or to use other websites; they are only on this website.
Below can be found a list of the main “functionality cookies”, along with an explanation about what they are used for:
• Soleo Marbella: functionalities linked to requests or purchases of services or products on web pages.

Advertising cookies
Allow advertising that is most relevant to you and your interests to be displayed. Also used to limit the number of times that you view an ad and help to measure the efficiency of an advertising campaign. These are normally third party cookies, so please see the following section for more details about them.

Third party cookies (or cookies that we do not install on your device)
These are not installed by us. Instead, as suggested by their name, they are installed by third parties through their programs and functionalities. For example, if you click on a third party ad displayed on the website (for example, advertising a product that we do not sell ourselves), this third party may install cookies on your device. We have a commercial relationship with these third parties, but we do not install the cookies on your device. Therefore, we suggest that you visit these third party websites to obtain more information about the cookies that they install and how you can manage them.
