Cookie Policy
What we store on your device, why, and how to change your mind in one click.
1. Legal basis
Cookies and similar technologies are regulated in Malta by the Processing of Personal Data (Electronic Communications Sector) Regulations (S.L. 586.01), read with the Data Protection Act (Cap. 586) and the GDPR. We place non-essential cookies only after you give free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from that requirement.
2. Categories we use
- Strictly necessary — security, navigation and remembering your cookie choice. Always on.
- Preferences — your wishlist, recent searches, currency and language.
- Analytics — aggregated usage statistics that help us improve the deals we surface.
- Marketing & affiliate — attribution of bookings you make after clicking a partner link.

Current status: No consent recorded — only strictly necessary cookies are active.
5. Third-party cookies
Partner and affiliate networks may set their own cookies once you leave our site. Those are governed by the partner's own cookie and privacy policies, over which we have no control. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your data.
