The specific use of each type of Cookie is described throughout this Policy.

3. What are Cookies used for?
The Website uses various categories of cookies, each with different purposes:

- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Without these cookies, it would not be possible to ensure the basic functionality of the Website and provide access to functions that you explicitly request. Therefore, these cookies cannot be disabled in our systems. They can be used to provide access to functions like booking your stay, logging in, or ensuring your security while browsing the website. You can configure your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but doing so may affect the functioning of the Website.

This type of cookies can also be used in conjunction with advertising cookies to measure interactions with advertisements placed on the websites. Additionally, these cookies can be used for conversion analysis and to determine how often a user clicked on a particular advertisement, supporting the controller in advertising decisions and management on the Website.

- Advertising Cookies: These cookies make advertising more relevant and attractive to users and advertisers, especially through personalized recommendations. They can be used to show personalized ads based on your preferences and to prevent showing ads that you have already seen or marked as irrelevant, improving the reliability of campaign performance reports.

- Location Data: When you expressly authorize us to do so, we may collect data about your location to provide you with a service that depends on your location.
