Cookie Policy | Island Tour Transfer

Last updated: April 12, 2025

1. Introduction: What are cookies?

This website, https://islandtourtransfer.com(hereinafter the "Website"), owned by ISLAND TOUR & TRANSFER SLU ("us", "we", "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage, device pixels or device fingerprint) to improve your browsing experience, analyze site usage, and potentially offer personalized services or advertising.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. It allows the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as logging in, language, font size and other display preferences) for a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them each time you return to the site or navigate from one page to another.

This policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your consent. Compliance with cookie regulations, in particular Article 22.2 of Spanish Law 34/2002 (LSSI-CE) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is a priority for us.

2. How we use cookies: types and purposes

We use different types of cookies for various purposes:

Strictly necessary cookies (Technical): These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They enable basic functionalities such as page navigation, access to secure areas (if any), management of user sessions, ensuring security and the operation of the main services requested by you (for example, processing a booking). These cookies do not require your consentbut must be listed here for transparency.
Preference or personalization cookies: These cookies allow the Website to remember information that changes the way the site behaves or is displayed, such as your preferred language or the region you are in. We only use them without consent if the preference has been explicitly selected by you (e.g., choosing a language from a menu). Otherwise, they require your consent.
Analytics or measurement (Statistics) cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting and reporting information in anonymous (or pseudonymous) form. They allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources, see which pages are most popular and measure the effectiveness of our content or campaigns, enabling us to improve the Website. These cookies require your explicit consent, unless they meet the very strict exemption criteria established by the AEPD (which normally involves the use of first-party cookies for aggregated and anonymous statistics exclusively for the editor's use, without cross-site tracking or data sharing).
Marketing or behavioral advertising cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across different websites. Their objective is to display relevant and engaging advertisements for the individual user, based on their browsing habits and inferred interests, creating a user profile. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners. These cookies always require your explicit consent.

First-party cookies vs. third-party cookies:

First-party cookies: They are set and managed directly by ISLAND TOUR & TRANSFER SLU from our domain.
Third-party cookies: They are set by domains other than ours. This occurs, for example, when we embed content or use third-party services (e.g., analytics providers such as Google Analytics, embedded maps, payment gateways, social media plugins, advertising networks). These third parties may set their own cookies in accordance with their own policies. We are obliged to identify these third parties.

Session cookies vs persistent cookies:

Session cookies: They are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close the browser.
Persistent cookies: They remain on your device for a period set in the cookie, or until you delete them manually.

4. Managing your consent: accept, reject, configure, revoke

We respect your right to privacy. When you first visit our Website, a cookies banner will appear offering clear options regarding the use of non-essential cookies. This banner constitutes thefirst layer of information.

Accept: By clicking "Accept All" (or similar), you consent to the use of all cookies described in this policy (Necessary, Preference, Analytics, Marketing).
Reject: By clicking "Reject All" (or "Only necessary" or similar), you deny consent for all non-essential cookies. Only strictly necessary cookies will be used. This option should be as easy to select as the "Accept All" option.
Configure: By clicking "Configure" (or "Manage preferences" or similar), you will be able to access aconsent management panel. This panel allows you to granularly choose which categories of non-essential cookies (e.g., Preference, Analytics, Marketing) you wish to accept or reject. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through this panel, as they are required for the operation of the site.

Withdrawal of consent: You have the right to change your mind and withdraw your consent at any time. You can do so easily by re-accessing the consent management panel. A persistent link or icon (e.g., labeled "Cookie Settings" or a small cookie icon) will typically be available in the website's footer or within this policy, allowing you to reopen the panel and modify your preferences. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. Please note that withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.

Validity of consent: The consent granted will be valid for a maximum period of 24 months, after which we may request your consent again.

Proof of consent: We record your consent preferences to comply with legal requirements (GDPR accountability).

The use of third-party cookies such as Google (for Google Analytics and Google Ads), whose services are deployed through Google Tag Manager on our site, involves the transfer of personal data (such as the IP address, browsing data, identifiers) collected through these cookies to Google LLC, based in the United States.

These transfers are necessary for the provision of analytics and advertising services. Google LLC processes these data in accordance with its Privacy Policy. Transfers to the United States are currently carried out under the EU-U. S. Data Privacy Framework (assuming Google LLC is certified under this framework) or on the basis of the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) adopted by the European Commission, which provide safeguards for the protection of personal data. You can find more information about data transfer mechanisms and Google's privacy practices in the Google Privacy and Termspolicy.

By consenting to Google's Analytics and/or Marketing cookies, you also consent to potential transfers of your data to the United States under these conditions. If in our audit other third-party cookies involving international transfers are identified, details will be provided here or in their linked policies in Section 3.

The use of Marketing/Advertising cookies may involve creating user profiles based on browsing behavior to display personalized advertising.

*(Action required: Determine whether profiling leads to automated decisions with significant effects. If so, add details in accordance with Art. 13(2)(f) and Art. 22 of the GDPR. If not, indicate that clearly):*

"Currently, the profiling carried out through cookies on this Website is used primarily for personalized advertising and does not involve automated decisions that produce legal effects or significantly affect you."
