We may store information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, or third parties to create a profile of users of our website. A profile is stored information that we keep on visitors or customers that details their preferences. Consequently, collected information is tied to the user's Personal Information to provide offers and improve the content of our website for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user's visit to our website, and to direct pertinent communications to them.
Some of our business partners (for example, advertisers) use cookies and Web beacons on our site. We have no access to or control over these tracking technologies. This privacy statement covers the use of tracking technologies by www.malanahotels.com only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies.
At any given time, our website may have any number of simultaneous users making reservations or updating information on our website. In order to keep track of what function a user is performing in our website at any particular time, the system assigns a unique identification number for each user. This is referred to as a Session ID. We use Session ID cookies to store a unique session ID so that we can keep track of your interactions with the system at any particular time. As one might expect, when there are 50 or 100 users on the system at the same time all performing simultaneous operations, it is imperative that a unique ID is appended to each user operation so that the system can respond with the right information to the right user. The cookie performs this function. It is created and stored on your machine the first time a user receives a response from the server. The cookie terminates, or is deleted, from your computer when you close the browser.
We use persistent cookies only when a user gives one of our website permission to place a cookie on his or her hard drive. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. This option stores all customer information in the form of a cookie on your computer, which will automatically apply your profile data to future reservations. No credit card information will be retained as a result. If you are using a public or shared computer, we recommend that you deselect the checkbox for Remember Me to disable this function. We do use tracking technologies within e-mail communications in order to more effectively tailor offers to your needs, as well as allow us to understand booking information from email responses.
