that may be used, how third parties may use cookies on our website, and how
you can manage or withdraw your cookie preferences.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone,
tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies allow a website to recognise a device and may be used for purposes
such as maintaining a user session, remembering preferences, enabling booking
and shopping-cart functions, measuring website performance and, where you
have provided consent, supporting analytics or advertising activities.

Cookies do not normally contain information such as your name or email
address. However, some cookies and similar technologies may be associated
with online identifiers or other information that can constitute personal
data.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • ensure that our website operates correctly and securely;
  • enable essential booking, shopping-cart and checkout functions;
  • remember your preferences and choices;
  • maintain website sessions;
  • understand how visitors use our website;
  • measure website performance and improve our services;
  • measure the effectiveness of our online communications and advertising;
  • provide relevant advertising, where you have given the required consent;
  • prevent fraud and protect the security of our website.

3. Categories of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to operate and for services
that you explicitly request.

They may be used, for example, to maintain your shopping cart, process a
booking, remember essential session information, maintain website security,
process checkout functions or remember your cookie preferences.

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website or
for providing a service that you have specifically requested, they do not
require your consent.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices or preferences
that can improve your experience.

Depending on their purpose and whether they are technically necessary,
these cookies may require your consent before being activated.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website.
They may provide information such as which pages are visited, how visitors
navigate through the website, the approximate duration of visits, browser
or device information and technical performance information.

We use this information to analyse website performance and improve our
content, services and user experience.

Where consent is legally required, analytics and performance cookies are
activated only after you have provided your consent.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising and marketing cookies may be used to measure advertising
campaigns, understand the effectiveness of our marketing activities or
provide advertisements that may be more relevant to visitors.

These cookies may be placed by us or by third-party advertising and
marketing providers.

Advertising and marketing cookies that are not strictly necessary will
only be activated after you have provided the required consent.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed directly by Hop in Sightseeing and are known as
first-party cookies.

Other cookies may be placed by third-party services integrated into our
website and are known as third-party cookies.

Third-party services may include, depending on the technologies currently
used on our website, services relating to analytics, payment processing,
embedded content, advertising, maps, security or other website functions.

Third-party providers may process information collected through their
technologies according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Google and Other Third-Party Services

Our website may use services provided by Google or other technology
providers for functions such as website analytics, online advertising,
maps or other integrated services.

Where these services use optional cookies or similar tracking technologies,
they will be subject to the applicable consent requirements.

Depending on the service used, third-party providers may receive technical
information such as IP address, browser information, device identifiers,
pages visited or interactions with the website.

6. Your Consent

When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie
consent notice allowing you to make choices regarding optional cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies may operate without your consent because they
are required for the website or a service that you have requested.

Where consent is required, optional cookies should remain disabled until
you make an affirmative choice to enable them.

You may choose whether to accept or reject optional categories of cookies.
Refusing optional cookies will not prevent you from making a booking or
using the essential functions of our website, although certain optional
features may not operate as intended.

7. Changing or Withdrawing Your Cookie Consent

You may change your preferences or withdraw your consent for optional
cookies at any time through the cookie preference controls available on
our website.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried
out before consent was withdrawn.

When consent is withdrawn, cookies already stored on your device may remain
until they expire or are deleted. You can also remove cookies directly
through your browser settings.

8. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies.
You can normally find these options in the privacy or security settings
of your browser.

You may also configure your browser to notify you when websites attempt
to place cookies on your device.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies through your browser
may affect essential website functions, including booking, shopping-cart,
login or checkout functionality.

Blocking optional analytics or advertising cookies should not prevent you
from using the essential services of our website.

9. Cookies Used on Our Website

The cookies and similar technologies used on our website may change from
time to time as our website, booking system, payment methods and third-party
services are updated.

Where available, our cookie preference system provides current information
about the optional cookie categories and technologies in use and allows
you to manage your choices.

For transparency, information provided about individual cookies should
include, where applicable:

  • the name of the cookie;
  • the provider;
  • its purpose;
  • whether it is a first-party or third-party cookie;
  • its duration or expiry period;
  • the category to which it belongs.

10. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be either:

  • Session cookies – temporary cookies that generally
    expire when you close your browser; or
  • Persistent cookies – cookies that remain on your
    device for a defined period or until you delete them.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the service that places it.
We aim to retain cookie-related information only for as long as reasonably
necessary for its intended purpose.

11. Similar Technologies

In addition to traditional browser cookies, our website or third-party
services may use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags
or other identifiers.

Where these technologies store information on, or access information from,
your device for purposes that require consent, we apply the same principles
described in this Cookie Policy.

12. Personal Data and Cookies

Where information collected through cookies constitutes personal data,
that information is processed in accordance with our Privacy & Personal
Data Protection Policy and applicable data protection legislation.

For further information about how we process personal data, please see our
