Cookie Notice

To make TheBookingRoom Group Ltd. (“TBR”) websites work properly, we use tracking technologies such as cookies. This Cookie Notice is addressed to individuals located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.

Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.

Strictly necessary cookies  

These are cookies that are required for the operation of the Site or of certain parts thereof. They either serve the sole purpose of carrying out network transmissions or are strictly necessary in order for us to provide an online service explicitly requested by you. 

Functional cookies

These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to the Site. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). Loss of the information in these cookies may make our services less functional but would not prevent the Site from working.

Performance cookies

These cookies allow us to carry out web analytics or other forms of audience measuring such as recognizing and counting the number of visitors and seeing how visitors move around the Site. This helps us to improve the way the Site works, for example, by ensuring that users are easily finding what they are looking for.

Third-party providers on TBR websites

Our website may contain links or references to other websites outside of our control. This notice does not apply to these websites. These third-party websites may send their own cookies and other tracking devices to you, log your IP address, and otherwise collect data from you. We are not responsible for what third parties do in connection with their websites, or how they handle your data. Consult the privacy policies and terms of use posted on each third-party website for further information.

These third-party services are outside of TBR’s control, and may, at any time, change their specific terms and conditions.

Legal bases for use of cookies

EEA: The legal basis for the storage of and access to information on your end user device for us to be able to provide the digital service expressly requested by you is Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, as transposed into local law (e.g., in Germany, Sec. 25 (2) No. 2 German Digital Services Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutz-Gesetz “TDDDG”)).

The further processing of personal data collected through the use of strictly necessary cookies is contract performance (Article 6(1)(b) General Data Protection Regulation) (if we concluded a contract with you or take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract) or our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) General Data Protection Regulation) to provide a functioning website. More information on the balancing test is available upon request.

We may also process your personal data collected through cookies with your consent (Article 6(1)(a) General Data Protection Regulation).

UK: It is necessary for us to perform a contract with you or take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract per Article 6(1)(b) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation; or it is necessary for us to realize a legitimate interest based on an assessment of that interest and your privacy and other fundamental interests per Article 6(1)(f) UK General Data Protection Regulation where our legitimate interests are to provide a functioning website; or you have consented per Article 6(1)(a) UK General Data Protection Regulation.

How can you manage cookies?
