This Cookie Policy explains how Waikiki.info and third parties use cookies and similar technologies on Waikiki.info. It supplements the Privacy Policy.
1. What these technologies are
A cookie is a small text file stored by a browser. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, web beacons, SDKs, scripts, and browser local storage. They can recognize a browser or device, remember settings, measure activity, protect services, and support advertising.
2. Categories we may use
| Category | Typical purpose | Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, network delivery, consent records, load balancing, fraud prevention, and functions requested by the visitor. | Usually cannot be disabled through a consent tool because the site may not work correctly without them. |
| Preferences | Remember language, display, accessibility, or other site choices. | May be optional, depending on the feature and local law. |
| Analytics | Measure traffic, page use, errors, and performance so the site can be improved. | May require consent or offer an opt-out depending on location and configuration. |
| Advertising | Deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, limit frequency, and, where permitted, personalize ads. | Can be managed through available consent controls, advertising controls, and applicable opt-out rights. |
| Affiliate measurement | Record that a visitor followed a referral link so a partner can attribute a booking or purchase. | Can often be limited by browser settings, though referral links may still identify the referring site. |
| Embedded content | Load maps, videos, social features, or other content supplied by another service. | The provider may set technologies when the content loads or is used. |
3. Google technologies
We may use Google AdSense, Google Analytics, Google Maps, and related Google services. Google and its partners may place or read cookies, use web beacons, process IP addresses, or use other identifiers for advertising, measurement, security, and service delivery. Learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and How Google uses cookies.
4. How long cookies last
Session cookies expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiration or until deleted. Durations differ by provider, purpose, browser, and consent state. Because WordPress plugins and service providers can change, this policy describes categories rather than promising a fixed cookie inventory.
5. Manage your choices
- Use an active site consent message to accept, reject, or change available categories.
- Delete or block cookies through browser settings. Browser help pages explain the current controls.
- Use Global Privacy Control where supported to communicate an applicable sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising opt-out.
- Manage Google ad personalization in My Ad Center.
- Review the Digital Advertising Alliance's WebChoices tool for participating companies.
Blocking cookies does not necessarily block all local storage, pixels, server-side measurement, or contextual advertising. It may also prevent preferences or embedded services from working.
6. Changes and contact
We may update this policy when providers, plugins, laws, or site functions change. Questions may be sent to media@waikiki.info.
