This Cookie Statement explains how Blue Bay Hotel B.V. (“Blue Bay,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on bluebay-curacao.com (the “Website”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use related technologies such as pixels and tags (small pieces of code that record activity, for example the Meta Pixel), local storage, and session-replay tools. In this statement we refer to all of these as “cookies.” Cookies can be set by us (“first-party”) or by a third party whose service we use (“third-party”), and they can last only for your visit (“session”) or for a set period (“persistent”).
2. How we ask for your consent
When you first visit the Website, a cookie banner asks for your choice. You can accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or set your preferences by category. Your choice is stored in a consent cookie named bb_cookieconsent_status for up to one year, and you can change or withdraw it at any time through the “Cookie settings” link on the Website.
The banner groups cookies into two categories:
- Functional (always active): needed for the Website to work and to remember your choices.
- Marketing (off until you consent): in the current setup this category also controls statistics and analytics cookies as well as advertising cookies.
We use Google Consent Mode to adjust how Google services behave according to your choices.
