What data do we collect, And from what sources?
Data Collected Automatically Via Cookies
Most of the data we collect in and through the Site and the Services is technical in nature and is collected and processed automatically through cookies and similar software-based technologies used on the Site. Alone or in combination with other data, such automatically-collected data may constitute Personal Information. The data we may collect by such automated means may include:
- The Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the site you visited before coming to our Sites, the URL of the site you visit after leaving our Site, the type of browser you are using and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address;
- Information about the packages you have searched and/or viewed in the Services;
- Your interactions with the Sites; and
- Information we collect on the use of the Sites via cookies. Please see the section “How do we use cookies” below for more information.
Google Analytics is an element of the Site. By using cookies, Google Analytics collects and stores data such as time of visit, pages visited, time spent on each page of the Site, the Internet Protocol address, and the type of operating system used in the devices used to access the Site. By using a browser plugin available at http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/plugin/ provided by Google, you can opt out of Google Analytics.
We and our advertising partners may also use web beacons. These web beacons are placed in the code of the Site.
How do we use cookies?
Some of the features on the Site and the Services require the use of “cookies” – small text files that are stored on your computer’s hard drive. We use cookies to measure which pages are being accessed and which features are most frequently used. This enables us to continuously improve the Site to meet the needs of our visitors.
The following sets out how we may use different categories of cookies and your options for managing cookie settings:

Required cookies |
Required cookies enable you to navigate the Site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the Site and using our Services. If you have chosen to identify yourself to us, we use cookies containing encrypted information to allow us to uniquely identify you. These cookies allow us to uniquely identify you when you are logged into the Site and to process your online transactions and requests. |
Because required cookies are essential to operate the Site, there is no option to opt-out of these cookies. |

Performance cookies |
These cookies collect information about how you use the Site, including which pages you go to most often and if they receive error messages from certain pages. Information collected using performance cookies is only used to improve how the Sites function and perform. From time to time, we may engage third parties to track and analyse usage and volume statistical information relating to individuals who visit the Sites. We may also utilise Flash cookies for these purposes. |
You can choose to opt out of these cookies. |

Functionality cookies |
Functionality cookies allow the Site to remember information you have entered or choices you make (such as your username or your region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies also enable you to optimise your use of the Site after logging in. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. We may use local shared objects, also known as Flash cookies, to store your preferences or display content based upon what you view on the Site to personalise your visit. |

Targeting or Advertising cookies |
From time to time, we may engage third parties to track and analyse usage and volume statistical information from individuals who visit the Site. We sometimes use cookies delivered by third parties to track the performance of our advertisements. For example, these cookies remember which browsers have visited the Site. By way of example, as you browse the Site, advertising cookies may be placed on your computer so that we can understand what you are interested in. Our advertising partners then enable us to present you with retargeted advertising on other sites based on your previous interaction with the Site. |
You can choose to opt out of these cookies. |
