VIAZUNO / Policies and disclosures
Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how VIAZUNO uses cookies, local storage objects, and similar browser technologies in compliance with the European Union ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and international privacy standards.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Local storage is an HTML5 browser technology that allows web applications to store data locally within your browser with greater security and without unnecessary transmission over network requests. VIAZUNO utilizes modern browser local storage for preferences while minimizing traditional tracking cookies.
2. Categories of Storage Employed on VIAZUNO
VIAZUNO stores display, currency, text-size, and consent choices in local browser storage. Optional analytics and advertising preferences can be changed through Privacy choices. Explicit sponsored partner links may record a click when you choose to open them.
- Strictly Necessary Storage: Essential for rendering the site, enforcing security firewalls, and managing user authentication sessions. These technologies do not require prior consent under ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3).
- Preference Storage: Retains your chosen language, theme (light/dark/contrast), currency symbol, and font magnification so you do not have to reconfigure them on every page visit.
- Optional Analytics Storage: When enabled with your explicit consent, anonymous telemetry metrics help us identify broken routes and optimize page response latency.
- Affiliate Attribution Signals: Temporary parameters recorded when you click an outbound booking link to reconcile legitimate partner referrals.
- Google AdSense & DoubleClick Advertising Cookies: On reviewed English and Arabic pages where Google AdSense (ca-pub-3958695326520792) is enabled, Google and its partners may use advertising cookies (such as DoubleClick cookies) to serve ads based on your prior visits to VIAZUNO or other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising in our Privacy choices panel or at https://www.google.com/settings/ads and https://www.aboutads.info.
3. Separate VIAZUNO Booking Origins & Partner Embeds
Flight and car search run on separate VIAZUNO booking origins. Travelpayouts search code loads when you open those experiences and may use storage or cookies under the provider's policy. The Travelpayouts/Economybookings.com rental search does not run on the main viazuno.com origin.
Your choices on the main site do not automatically control cookies on another origin or a partner website. Review the partner's cookie and privacy information when you continue to search or book. Authenticated features, where available, use a session cookie to maintain your session.
4. European Union ePrivacy Directive & Granular Consent
In accordance with European legal mandates, non-essential storage (including optional analytics and marketing telemetry) is deactivated by default. It activates only after you provide affirmative, informed consent via our privacy banner. You may inspect, modify, or revoke your consent preferences at any time through our interactive Privacy Controls.
