1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device — whether it's a computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you browse a website. They are widely used to ensure websites work efficiently, to enhance functionality, to understand user behavior, and to support marketing activities. Cookies do not execute programs or install software on your device and cannot access other information stored there.
2. Why We Use Cookies
At DreamWayHotel, we use cookies to create a refined, secure, and responsive user experience for all visitors — from first-time guests to returning clients. Cookies allow us to:
Maintain secure sessions during booking and login processes.
Remember your preferences, such as language or hotel type.
Analyze how visitors navigate our website and improve performance.
Personalize offers and ads in line with your interests (with your consent).
Enable third-party tools such as payment systems, maps, or embedded media.
We are transparent about the cookies we use and always request your explicit consent for non-essential cookies in compliance with EU regulations.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Our website uses several categories of cookies — each with a unique purpose and life span.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are fundamental for the proper functioning of our site. Without them, features like secure reservations, form submissions, and user login wouldn’t work. They do not collect personal information and usually expire when your browsing session ends.
Performance Cookies
Used to collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with the site, these cookies help us track page visits, loading speeds, and general user navigation patterns. The insights gained help us optimize design and functionality. They may remain active for a few days or up to two years, depending on their configuration.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enhance your experience by remembering selections and settings — for instance, your preferred room category, selected language, or recent hotel views. Their role is to make future visits smoother and more intuitive. These may be stored on your device for several months.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Only activated with your permission, these cookies help us deliver customized ads and campaigns across external platforms like Facebook and Google. They support remarketing initiatives — allowing you to see relevant offers after leaving our site. These may be set either by us or our advertising partners and usually have a medium-term duration of 3 to 6 months.
Third-Party Cookies
Some services we use — including secure payment providers, map plugins (e.g., Google Maps), and video hosting platforms (e.g., YouTube) — place their own cookies. These cookies are managed under the privacy terms of the third-party services and may collect usage or technical data. We only integrate such providers after ensuring they meet data protection standards under GDPR.
4. Your Choices and Consent
When you visit our site for the first time, a banner allows you to:
Accept all cookies;
Adjust your preferences;
Decline all non-essential cookies.
Your choices are stored and can be changed at any time by revisiting our Cookie Settings Panel. Most browsers also allow you to manage cookie permissions manually — including deleting previously stored cookies, blocking new ones, or limiting activity by site.
Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect how our booking engine and interactive features perform.
5. How We Protect Your Data
All cookie-related data collected through our platform is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable EU laws. We never use cookies to store sensitive information such as credit card numbers, and any analytics data is anonymized wherever possible.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may occasionally update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or the scope of our services. The most recent version will always be available on this page, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
