What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and actions, making subsequent visits more efficient and your experience more personalized.

Cookies do not contain viruses or malware. They cannot access other information on your device or personally identify you unless you provide such information directly.

How We Use Cookies

Witty-atoll uses cookies to enhance website functionality, analyze usage patterns, and improve user experience. We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Maintaining your cookie consent preferences

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for website operation and cannot be disabled. They include:

• Cookie consent storage: Records your cookie acceptance or rejection choice
• Session management: Maintains your session during site navigation
• Security cookies: Authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use

These cookies do not store personally identifiable information and are automatically deleted when you close your browser or after a specified period.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, helping us improve functionality and content. They track:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Navigation paths through the website
• Error messages encountered

Information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized. We cannot identify individual users from this data.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as:

• Remembering your preferences and settings
• Storing information you have entered in forms
• Customizing content based on your location or browser

While these cookies improve user experience, the website remains functional without them, though some features may be limited.

Third-Party Cookies

Our website may use third-party services that set their own cookies. These include:

Analytics Services

We use analytics tools to understand website usage and visitor behavior. These services may set cookies to collect information about your browsing patterns across multiple websites. The information is used solely for statistical analysis and website improvement.

Payment Processors

When you make a booking, payment processing services may set cookies necessary for transaction security and fraud prevention. These services operate under their own privacy policies and cookie policies.

We do not control third-party cookies. For information about these cookies and how to manage them, consult the privacy policies of the respective third-party services.

Cookie Duration

Cookies we use fall into two categories based on duration:

Session Cookies

These temporary cookies exist only during your browsing session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They enable core website functionality such as navigation and form submission.

Persistent Cookies

These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until manually deleted. They remember your preferences across multiple visits. Persistent cookies we use typically expire after:

• Cookie consent preference: 12 months
• Analytics data: 24 months
• Functional preferences: 6 months

Consequences of Disabling Cookies

If you disable all cookies, certain website features may not function properly:

• You may need to re-enter information on each visit
• Some pages may not display correctly
• Interactive features may become unavailable
• Your preferences will not be remembered between visits

Strictly necessary cookies must remain enabled for core functionality, but you can disable optional cookies without losing access to basic services.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include "Do Not Track" features that signal websites you prefer not to be tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to these signals. Our website does not alter data collection practices when a Do Not Track signal is detected, but we limit tracking to essential functionality and anonymous analytics regardless of this setting.

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we may use HTML5 local storage to store data locally on your device. This technology serves similar purposes to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. Local storage is subject to the same consent requirements as cookies, and you can clear it through your browser settings.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this cookies policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date. Significant changes may be communicated through additional notice on our website.
