Cookies Policy

At Simply Cuba, we are always developing new methods for improving our service to you - especially on our website. To help us to do this we use 'Session Cookies' to track movement around our site. (A cookie is a small text file that our site may send to your hard drive when you are on our site. It identifies that any actions you perform whilst on our site are performed by the same user). Most websites use Cookies in order to improve the visitor experience as this use of Cookies enables us to design the site in the best way for you to find what you are looking for as fast as possible. We do not attach personally identifiable data to this tracking which means that although we can see how our visitors have moved around the site, we do not know who is who.

We use cookies to:

• remember that you have used the Site before; this means we can identify the number of unique visitors we receive to different parts of the Site. This allows us to make sure we have enough capacity for the number of users that we get and make sure that the Site runs fast enough;
• remember your login session so you can move from one page to another within the Site;
• store your preferences or your user name and password so that you do not need to input these every time you visit the Site;
• customise elements of the layout and/or content of the pages of the Site for you;
• collect statistical information about how you use the Site so that we can improve the Site; and
• gather information about the pages on the Site that you visit, and also other information about other websites that you visit.

Some of the cookies used by the Site are set by us, and some are set by third parties who are delivering services on our behalf such as our advertising partners who serve advertisements that they believe are most likely to be of interest to you, based on information about your visit to the Site and other websites (this information is anonymous in that it does not include your name, street address, email address or telephone number).
