COOKIES POLICY

Algarve Manta uses "cookies" in conjunction with the Platform to obtain browsing information. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your device (e.g. your phone or your computer) for record protection purposes, for example to enable the Platform to recognise your browser.

Your browser may allow you to define how to handle cookies, such as refusing all cookies or asking you to decide when to accept each cookie. However, please note that some features of the Platform may not work as expected or may not work fully without cookies.

Algarve Manta cookies and third-party cookies

Algarve Manta may install cookies on your device through the Platform, meaning that our Privacy Policy applies to the processing of information we obtain through our cookies.

We may also allow our business partners to install cookies on your device. For example, we use Google Analytics for web analytics and in this way Google may install cookies on your device. As detailed below, third parties may also install cookies on your device for advertising purposes.

There are two types of cookies used on the Platform, called "persistent cookies" and "session cookies".

Session cookies will normally expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies will remain on your device after you close your browser, and may be used again the next time you access the Platform.

Uses for Algarve Manta cookies

Algarve Manta uses cookies for various purposes, such as the following:

- to enable, facilitate and speed up the operation of the Platform on different pages and browser sessions.

- to simplify your access to and use of the Platform and make it more transparent.

- to monitor and analyse the performance, operation and effectiveness of the Platform so that we can improve and optimise it.

- to show you more interesting content (which may include adverts)

Uses for third-party cookies

Our partners' cookies are intended to obtain information that helps them provide services to Algarve Manta. For example, companies and people we hire to provide services to us may monitor your behaviour on our Platform in order to market and advertise Algarve Manta's services and advertisements on the Platform and on third-party websites. Third parties that use cookies and other tracking technologies to serve targeted adverts on our Platform and/or third party websites may offer you a way to prevent such targeted adverts if you so wish. Please note that even if you opt out of receiving targeted adverts you can still view adverts on the Platform - they just won't be tailored to your interests.

Cookies

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to refuse cookies in the Help option on your browser toolbar. If you choose to disable cookies, please note that you may not be able to log in, personalise or use some of the Platform's interactive features. Flash cookies operate differently from browser cookies, and cookie management tools available in a web browser will not remove Flash cookies.

We may change this Cookie Policy at any time. If we make significant changes to the Cookie Policy, we will post the amended version on the Platform or you will be informed by email. It is important that you review the changes to the Cookie Policy.
