How we use cookies to improve your experience
We Are Happy to Use Cookies
For example, we may remember destinations you like or hotels that might have caught your eye. From this we are able to deliver a more personalised service and even recommend other fantastic offers based on your interests and preferences.
In all cases this information is strictly anonymous and will never reveal any personal information. Cookies are completely harmless and only contain data that we think will help benefit your experience on our website. You can manage them at any time and even choose to remove them if you wish.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies record anonymous information about your online preferences and do not contain any personal information about you.
Types of Cookies
There are two main types of cookies — session or persistent — depending on how long they are used:
- Session cookies only last for your online session and disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies stay on your computer or device after the browser has been closed and last for the period of time specified in the cookie. These are activated each time you visit the site where the cookie was generated.
How Do We Use Cookies?
We may store information about you using cookies (files which are sent by us to your computer or other access device) which we can access when you visit our site in future.
If you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, please refer to the instructions for your file management software to locate the file or directory that stores cookies.
Third party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on sites on the internet and may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website. Users may opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
What Happens If I Say No to Cookies?
The website will still work and you will be able to get the information you need from the site. However, as we develop how the site works and offer more sophisticated services, upgraded and new features will most likely rely on cookies.
For example, if we begin to tailor content to your interests based on your browsing behaviour — this depends on cookies. If you have declined cookies then we would not be able to deliver this kind of personalised service to you.

Five Common Categories of Cookies
Essential Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential in helping you to move around our websites and use their features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
Examples include:
- Remembering previous actions (such as text entered in a form) when navigating back to a page in the same session
- Identifying you as being signed in to AmeiraTravel.com and keeping you logged in throughout your visit
- Remembering security settings, such as parental PIN control, which restrict access to certain content
Functional Functional Cookies
These cookies allow websites and applications to remember choices you make (such as your username, language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised — we cannot identify you personally. They do not gather information that could be used for selling advertising.
Examples include:
- Remembering if you have been to the site before so that messages intended for first-time users are not displayed to you
Analytics Analytics Cookies
In order to keep Ameira Travel products and services relevant, easy to use and up to date, we use web analytics services to help us understand how people use them. For example, we can see which options are most popular, identify which destinations and hotels have been viewed, spot when errors occur, and test different versions of a page to see which works best.
These services may use small invisible images known as "web beacons" or "tracking pixels" to count the number of times something has been seen. These are anonymous and do not contain or collect any information that identifies you.
Analytics cookies allow us to track information such as how many individual users we have and how often they visit. For example, we might see that many people who viewed Hotel A also viewed Hotel B, and we can then recommend Hotel B to everyone who viewed Hotel A. Analytics data cannot be used to identify you as it never contains personal information such as your name or email address.
Targeting Targeting Cookies
With cookie targeting, a website publisher can more accurately target ads by using information collected from a visitor to the site. This information is taken from a cookie that has been attached to the visitor during their visit.
Third Party Other Third Party Cookies
We work with a small number of third party suppliers to give you access to more great features on our website. Our website uses a number of suppliers who use cookies in order to deliver the services that they provide. If you would like to know more about the cookies used by these suppliers, as well as information on how to opt out, please see their individual privacy policies.
