1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the website operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties whose services the website uses (“third-party cookies”).

This Cookie Policy explains how Daniels Luxury Holiday Home Rentals LLC, operating under the brand name Daniels Holiday Homes, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on www.danielsholidayhomes.com (the “Website”). This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Essential Website Functionality: To enable core features of the Website, including user authentication, session management, and security features. These cookies are necessary for the Website to operate and cannot be disabled.

Analytics and Performance: To understand how visitors interact with our Website, which pages are most popular, how users navigate between pages, and to identify areas for improvement. This data is collected in anonymized or aggregated form.

User Experience Research: To record and analyze user behavior patterns including mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, and form interactions, helping us identify usability issues and optimize the Website experience.

Advertising and Remarketing: To measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, track conversions from Google Ads, and build remarketing audiences to serve relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited our Website.

Tag Management: To manage and deploy the various tracking scripts and tags used on the Website through a centralized system. Tag management tools may deploy scripts that set cookies belonging to analytics and advertising providers listed in this policy.

3. Legal Basis for Cookie Use

We use different legal bases for different categories of cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are processed on the basis of legitimate interest and contractual necessity. They are required for the Website to function and for us to provide the services you have requested, including user authentication and session management. Your consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies, and they cannot be disabled without affecting the core functionality of the Website.

Analytics, Advertising, and Tag Management Cookies: These cookies are processed on the basis of your explicit consent. They are set only after you have provided consent through our cookie consent banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time as described in Section 5 of this policy.

This approach aligns with the requirements of the UAE Data Protection Law, GDPR (for our European visitors), and applicable ePrivacy regulations.

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

The tables below list the cookies currently used on our Website. Each table identifies the cookie name, provider, purpose, type, duration, category, and whether the cookie requires your consent before being set. The cookie tables are representative of our current configuration and may vary based on your geographic region, browser, consent status, and vendor updates. We review and update this list periodically. If you require the most current cookie list, please contact us at marketing@danielsholidayhomes.com.

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session management, and cookie consent management.

4.4 Tag Management Cookies

Our tag management system (Google Tag Manager) coordinates the deployment of analytics and advertising scripts on the Website.

5. Cookie Consent and Your Choices

5.1 Consent Banner

When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to:

Accept All Cookies: This enables all categories of cookies described in this policy, including analytics, advertising, and tag management cookies.

Accept Only Necessary Cookies: This allows only strictly necessary cookies required for the Website to function. No analytics, advertising, or tag management cookies will be set.

Customize Preferences: You may selectively enable or disable specific categories of cookies according to your preferences.

5.2 Impact of Rejecting Non-Essential Cookies

If you choose to reject non-essential cookies, the Website will continue to function normally. You will still be able to browse properties, create an account, make bookings, and use all core features of the booking platform, as these rely only on strictly necessary cookies. However, the following limitations will apply: we will not be able to collect analytics data about your visit or measure website performance; session recordings will not be generated, limiting our ability to identify and fix usability issues; advertising conversion tracking will not function, and remarketing audiences will not be built from your visit; and our ability to optimize the booking experience based on aggregated usage patterns may be reduced.

5.3 Changing Your Preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings link available in the footer of our Website. Updated preferences will typically take effect on the next page load. Please note that withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies affects future tracking only; data already collected prior to withdrawal may remain in aggregated or anonymized form within our analytics systems and cannot be retroactively removed from aggregated datasets.

5.4 Consent Record

We maintain a record of your consent preferences via the cookie_consent cookie (listed in Section 4.1). This cookie records the categories you have accepted or declined and the date and time of your consent decision. This record is maintained for compliance purposes and to ensure your preferences are respected across sessions.

6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

In addition to our cookie consent mechanism, you can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific or all websites. Please note that if you choose to block all cookies, some features of our Website may not function correctly, particularly those related to user authentication and the booking platform.

For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, please refer to the help documentation for your specific browser: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, or Opera.

7. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, our Website may use the following similar technologies:

Pixel Tags and Web Beacons: Small, transparent image files used by Google Ads and Microsoft Clarity to track user interactions with our Website and advertisements. These are subject to the same consent requirements as their associated cookies.

7.1 Local Storage

Some features of the Website may use browser-based local storage to save user preferences (such as theme settings or search filters) locally on your device. Local storage functions similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data and does not expire automatically. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to our servers with every request. We do not use local storage for tracking or advertising purposes.

Please be aware that clearing cookies through your browser settings may not clear local storage data. To fully clear local storage, you may need to use your browser’s “Clear site data” or “Clear all data for this site” function (available in most browsers under site-specific settings).

7.2 Session Replay Scripts

Microsoft Clarity may record anonymized replays of user sessions, capturing mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, and page interactions. We configure Clarity to mask sensitive input fields where possible, and session recordings are not intended to capture personally identifiable information, passwords, payment card details, or other sensitive data entered into form fields. We do not intentionally collect sensitive input data through session replay.

If you believe that sensitive data may have been inadvertently captured in a session recording, please contact us at marketing@danielsholidayhomes.com with the subject line “Session Recording Concern” and we will investigate and remediate as appropriate, including deletion of the relevant recording where feasible.

8. Advertising Opt-Out and Privacy Controls

In addition to managing cookies through our consent banner and your browser settings, you can control advertising personalization and analytics tracking through the following mechanisms provided by our third-party service providers:

Google Ads Personalization: You can manage your Google advertising preferences and opt out of personalized advertising through Google’s Ads Settings (accessible via your Google account at ads.google.com/settings).

Google Analytics Opt-Out: Google provides a browser add-on that allows you to opt out of Google Analytics measurement across all websites (available from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

Microsoft Clarity and Advertising: You can manage Microsoft advertising preferences through Microsoft’s privacy dashboard (accessible at account.microsoft.com/privacy).

Industry Opt-Out Tools: You may also opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (youronlinechoices.eu).

Please note that opting out of personalized advertising does not prevent you from seeing advertisements; it means the advertisements you see may be less relevant to your interests.

9. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers and privacy tools transmit a “Do-Not-Track” (DNT) signal or a “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) signal. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our Website does not currently respond to DNT or GPC signals automatically.

However, we provide you with direct control over non-essential tracking through our cookie consent banner, which we believe offers a more transparent and granular mechanism than automated signals. You can manage your preferences at any time as described in Section 5.3. We will continue to monitor developments in DNT and GPC standards and may update this position in the future.

10. Data Transfers Related to Cookies

Cookie data collected by third-party services may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside the United Arab Emirates, including the United States (Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager) and the United States and Europe (Microsoft Clarity). For more information about international data transfers, please refer to Section 11 of our Privacy Policy.

11. Third-Party Cookie Providers

The third-party services listed in this policy (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Google Ads, and Google Tag Manager) process cookie data in accordance with their own privacy policies and data processing agreements. Once consent is provided for a third-party cookie, data collection and processing by that provider is governed by their respective privacy policy, and we do not have direct control over how they process the data beyond the configuration options they make available to us.

We select reputable service providers with established data protection practices and review their policies periodically. However, for full details on how each provider handles your data, we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies directly.

12. Children and Minors

Our Website is not intended for use by children under the age of eighteen (18), and we do not knowingly seek or collect consent for cookies from minors. We do not knowingly profile children for advertising or remarketing purposes. If a minor accesses the Website, it is the responsibility of their parent or guardian to manage cookie preferences and browser settings on the minor’s device.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor’s data has been collected through our cookies without appropriate oversight, please contact us at marketing@danielsholidayhomes.com and we will take appropriate steps to address the concern.

13. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use, vendor updates, regulatory changes, or improvements to our consent mechanisms. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Where changes are material, we may reset cookie consent preferences to ensure you have the opportunity to review and accept the updated terms.
