Our Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on ski-lifts.com, lifts.to, sea-lifts.com and golf-drives.com (together, our “websites”). It forms part of our Privacy Notice and Terms of Use. Please read it together with those documents for a full picture of how we use and protect your personal data.
To make full use of the online and personalised features on our websites, your computer, tablet or mobile phone will need to accept cookies, as we can only provide you with certain personalised features of these websites by using them.
If you have any questions about how we use your information, please feel free to email us at [email protected].
About cookies
When you use a website, it may download a cookie – a small text file – onto your device to help the site work properly. Cookies let the site recognise your device and store information about how you use the site (for example, your language, the pages you visit, or that you are logged in).
You can turn off cookies in your browser, but some parts of our websites won’t work properly without them, particularly features that rely on you being recognised from page to page (such as the booking process).
Cookies can be “session cookies” or “permanent cookies”. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your device’s browser; permanent cookies stay in your browser until you delete them, or your browser deletes them based on the cookies’ duration period. Permanent cookies allow websites to remember your preferences for when you visit them again, speeding up and enhancing your experience of the services we offer.
“First-party cookies” are cookies set by the company whose website you are using. “Third-party cookies” are cookies set by a company that has a relationship with the website you’re using, such as analytics, advertising or technology partners.
Cookies are not spyware or adware and can’t deliver viruses or run programs on your device. To find out more about cookies in general, please visit www.youronlinechoices.eu.
We don’t store sensitive information such as your full payment details in cookies. Cookies may, however, hold a unique reference that allows us to recognise you or your device. Once you sign in or make a booking, that reference can be associated with certain account or booking information so that we can provide you with a smoother, more secure experience.
On our websites, we use a variety of cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels and tags in our emails) for different purposes. We also use Cookiebot, a consent-management tool, to display a cookie banner, record your choices and help you manage your preferences at any time.
Our cookies fall into the following categories:
These cookies are essential for our websites to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as:
- Setting your privacy preferences
- Logging in to your account
- Filling in forms or making a booking
- Maintaining your session as you move through the booking process
Without these cookies, some parts of the site may not work correctly. For this reason, strictly necessary cookies are always active and do not require your consent.
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they may:
- Remember your login details so you don’t have to re-enter them each time
- Store your preferred currency, language or region
- Remember your recent searches or selected routes
Our websites would still work without preference cookies, but your experience may be less convenient and more repetitive. These cookies are set based on your consent.
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our websites so that we can improve them. They allow us and our third-party providers to collect aggregated or segmented information such as:
- Which pages are visited and for how long
- Which links are clicked and how users navigate the site
- Which campaigns or partners refer visitors to our websites
We use this information to measure and improve the performance of our websites and marketing, not to personally identify you.
We use tools such as Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to track and report website traffic and to help us identify pages that are slow, broken or poorly performing. For more information about how Google processes data, please see Google’s own documentation and privacy resources.
Analytics cookies are only set if you consent to them.
Marketing cookies may be set on our websites by us or by our advertising and social media partners. They are used to:
- Show you relevant adverts on other websites or platforms
- Limit how often you see a particular advert
- Measure the effectiveness of campaigns
These cookies may build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity, but they do not store directly identifiable personal information such as your name or contact details.
We may also use pixel tags and similar technologies in our marketing emails to understand whether emails are opened and which links are clicked. This helps us to improve the relevance of our communications and offers.
Marketing cookies and similar technologies are only used if you give your consent through our cookie banner or settings.
You can always see and adjust which categories of cookies are active for you using our cookie settings tools, as described below.
The first time you visit one of our websites, you will see a cookie banner asking you to choose your cookie preferences. Through this banner (provided by Cookiebot), you can:
- “Allow all” – accept all categories of cookies
- “Allow selection” – accept only the categories you choose
- “Deny” – reject all non-essential cookies
Strictly necessary cookies will still be set so that the website can function, but all other cookies will only be placed on your device if you consent to them.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. To do this, simply:
- Use the “Cookie Settings” or similar link in the footer of our websites (where available) to reopen the Cookiebot preferences panel, or
- Clear cookies via your browser and revisit the site to reset your preferences.
If you choose not to accept certain cookies, you may still use our websites, but some features and services may not function properly or may be less tailored to you.
