Cookies Policy

Last updated: 2024

This Cookies Policy explains how Raqito ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies on our website. It is intended to comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), as enforced by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the supervisory authority for data protection in the United Kingdom.

By continuing to use our website, you can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies through the consent options presented to you. This policy sets out exactly what we do, and just as importantly, what we do not do.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to remember your preferences, or to collect information about how a site is used. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period.

2. The Only Cookie We Set

Raqito operates a minimal approach to cookies. We set exactly one cookie on this website, and no others. It is described below in full.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Type
consent_mode Stores your cookie consent choice, so that the website remembers whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies and does not ask you again on every visit. 1 year Essential (strictly necessary)

We do not use analytics cookies of any kind. We do not run Google Analytics, and we do not set cookies such as _ga or _gid. We do not use Yandex Metrica, VK Pixel, or any equivalent tracking or statistics service. We also do not set session identifier cookies or CSRF-protection cookies, as our website does not require them to function. If any of these were listed here, it would not be an accurate description of this site, and we do not make that claim.

3. Essential Versus Optional Cookies

Under PECR, cookies are generally divided into two categories:

Because Raqito does not set any analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies on general browsing of this website, there are currently no optional cookies for you to accept or decline outside of the advertising measurement described in Section 4 below.

4. Advertising Measurement on the Confirmation Page

Advertising measurement technology is used only in one specific, limited circumstance: on the booking confirmation page, and only after you have given your consent. This measurement helps us understand whether an advertising campaign led to a completed booking. It is never activated on any other page of the website, and it is never activated without your prior consent having been recorded via the consent_mode cookie.

If you decline consent, this advertising measurement does not run at all, on the confirmation page or anywhere else on the site.

5. How to Change or Withdraw Your Consent

You are in control of your cookie preferences at all times. You can change or withdraw your consent in the following ways:

6. Your Rights Under UK Data Protection Law

Because we process very limited personal data through cookies, our use is correspondingly limited. Nonetheless, under the UK GDPR you have rights including the right to be informed, the right of access, the right to withdraw consent, and the right to complain to the ICO if you believe your data has been mishandled. You can reach the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
