We have provided this cookie policy to tell you more about why we use cookies and other similar identifying technologies, the types of cookies and similar technologies we use, and your choices in relation to these technologies.

Cookie overview

A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser or device by websites, mobile apps and adverts that you access or use. This data is stored on your browser or device and helps websites and mobile apps remember things about you. For example, cookies may help us remember certain preferences you have selected, such as your language preference.

Pixels, local storage and other similar technologies

We may also use other similar technologies on our services, such as pixel tags and local storage. We use these technologies to do things like help us see what features are most popular, create a more personalised experience, and deliver relevant adverts. Pixel tags (also called clear GIFs, web beacons, or pixels) are small blocks of code installed in or on a webpage, mobile app or advert. These tags can retrieve certain information about your browser and device, such as: operating system, browser type, device type and version, referring website, website visited, IP address and other similar information. Local storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a website or mobile app to store and retrieve data on an individual’s computer, mobile phone or other device.

Your choices

Your browser probably lets you choose whether to accept browser cookies. And you may even be able to choose or limit the use of cookies and other similar technologies in mobile apps. But these technologies are an important part of how our services work, so removing or rejecting cookies and limiting the use of other similar technologies could affect the availability and functionality of our services.

Web browser opt-out

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you don’t want to allow cookies you may have some options. Your browser may provide you with a set of tools to manage cookies. You can usually set your browser to refuse some or all cookies. For example, some browsers give you the option to allow first-party cookies but block third-party cookies. So what’s the difference between first-party and third-party cookies?

A “first-party” cookie is served by the page or domain that you are visiting. For example, when you visit Schoolholidays-USA.com and we serve a cookie for purposes of remembering your settings that is a first-party cookie.

A “third-party” cookie is served by a company that doesn’t operate the page or domain you are visiting. For example, when you visit Schoolholidays-USA.com and Google serves a cookie on Schoolholidays-USA.com for Schoolholidays-USA.com’s analytics, that is a third-party cookie.

You may also be able to remove cookies from your browser. Your ability to manage cookies through a mobile browser, however, may be limited. For more information about how to manage your cookie settings, please follow the instructions provided by your browser, which are usually in the “Help”, “Tools” or “Edit” settings.
