About cookies

When you use a website, it may download a cookie, a small text file that makes the site work properly. Cookies let the site recognise your device and store information about how you use the site.

You can turn off cookies – but some of our site won’t work without them.

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 platforms 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 platform you’re using.

At ski-lifts.com, we use a variety of cookies to do different things:

Technical cookies

Functional cookies
To remember any preferences you set when you visit our website, such as your name for a personalised experience. They can optionally also remember your sign-in credentials, so you don’t have to re-enter each time. Our website would still work without functional cookies, but the experience wouldn’t be as smooth and simple.

 

Analytics cookies
