Use of Cookies

The Website uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize ADTRAV pages, or register with ADTRAV site or services, a cookie helps ADTRAV to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the ADTRAV features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the ADTRAV services or websites you visit.  You can find out more about how to manage cookies  here: www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies.

We and our service providers use Google Analytics and other third-party services to improve the performance of the Website and the Services and for analytics and marketing purposes.  The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google in aggregate form. Google uses this aggregated information on our behalf in order to evaluate use of the Website, compile reports on Website activity and other services relating to Site activity and usage.  For more information about how Google Analytics collects and uses data when you use the Website, visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and to opt out of Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

Do-Not-Track Signals; Third-Party Tracking

Unless your browser settings are configured to make your online activities and information about your online activities (such as traffic data as described above) invisible to usage analytics tools, we do not presently have the capability to omit you from usage analytics to the extent your browser only sends us a “do not track” message and does not otherwise screen you from tracking without any action on our part. To learn more about browser tracking signals and “Do Not Track”, please visit http://allaboutdnt.org. Third parties, other than our vendors (such as our website analytics provider), do not have authorization from us to track which websites you visited prior to and after visiting the Services.  Please note, however, that we cannot control third-party tracking and there may be some third party tracking that occurs without our knowledge or consent.

Children’s Privacy

The Services are not intended for children under age 13.  If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from anyone under the age of 13, we will delete it.  If you believe that we have collected personal information from anyone under the age of 13, please contact us using the contact information at the bottom of this Privacy Statement.

Security of Your Personal Information

ADTRAV will take reasonable precautions to protect personal information in its possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. ADTRAV secures the personally identifiable information you provide via servers that are in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, all electronic data is stored on secure networks protected by firewalls. ADTRAV also limits employee access to personal information via logical and physical restrictions.
