In accordance with the new EU legislation, JJW Hotels has
recently updated its Cookie and Online Marketing Policy.
JJW Hotels primarily uses cookies for analyzing how users
navigate around our sites and to ensure delivery of an efficient
web service. We do this using the popular Google Analytics tool -
and via a number of other harmless cookies. No private information
can be gleaned from this data.
The new EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications
has stipulated that cookies are a useful tool for many activities;
and this notice explains a bit more about what cookies are and how
they are used by JJW Hotels.
Cookies Explained:
Cookies are simple text files sent to your computer, mobile
device or tablet by websites. Once these cookies have been sent,
the website can tell when that user has returned. The cookie cannot
access or read any other information on the user's computer or
device, and cannot harm their machine or discover any personal
information about the user.
Cookies will only transfer information to the website which the
users have already given to that website; for example which pages
the user has looked at. Cookies therefore enable interactions
between users and websites to be faster and more efficient.
In order to make full and efficient use of the JJW website, the
device you are browsing on will need to accept cookies (if you
would like to opt out of using cookies, we will explain how to do
so at the end of this notice). Cookies on the JJW sites enable
users to navigate around the sites more effectively; they are also
used to check the performance of new designs, content and
initiatives... along with recording data on browser performance and
effectiveness.
JJW Hotels will issue cookies as soon as you access our sites
for the first time (again, we will take you through how to stop
this at the end of this notice. However, performance of the
websites will be affected, which is why we recommend that you
continue to accept them from JJW Hotels). A cookie may also be
delivered before accessing our websites, for example if you come to
us via a Google Advertisement.
Types of Cookie:
Analytics & Performance Cookies:
These are used to collect information on how our users navigate
and use the websites. No information about the user's identity is
collected and all information is anonymous. These are used to
improve the functionality of the website and to deliver the optimum
content to the users.
Functional Cookies:
These types of cookies remember individual site preference. So
for example if you want the text a certain size, or language, the
cookie will remember your preference and tell the website to
display the content thusly. All such information is anonymous and
the cookies cannot identify any browsing patterns or habits you may
have on any other websites.
Essential Cookies:
These are used to aid navigation and deliver the specific
services you have asked for. If these cookies are turned off, the
browsing experience on any JJW Hotels site will be compromised and
a first rate service cannot be guaranteed.
Advertising Cookies:
Sometimes cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are
relevant to a user's interests; in addition they can reduce the
amount of time a certain advert is viewed... and can also measure
the effectiveness of campaigns. Often these cookies are placed by
external advertising networks and will remember which categories of
site a user visits, before introducing the user to pertinent
adverts on a number of websites. JJW Hotels occasionally uses third
party digital organisations to attract new customers to our sites
in this fashion.
Such behavioural advertising is based on your browsing habits
over a period of time. So for example if you have recently been
searching to buy or rent a new property... you may suddenly start
noticing a number of adverts for estate and letting agents on a
variety of sites you visit.
JJW Hotels cannot control, nor do we have access to any cookies
that may be placed on your computer by any third party advertiser.
Further down this page, we give detailed information on how you can
opt out of all such targeted advertising.
