Cookie Statement

We utilize cookies and other online tracking technologies, which we will refer to as "cookies" for the purpose of this Cookie Statement, whenever you use our online services or apps.

Cookies have diverse applications, such as enabling the functionality of the Bagallery.com website, analyzing traffic, and serving advertising purposes.

What are cookies?

Websites put a small text file called a web browser cookie on your computer or mobile device's web browser to store information about the content you view and interact with. This allows cookies to remember your preferences and settings or analyze how you use online services.

Cookies are categorized into "first-party" and "third-party" cookies. First-party cookies are those placed by the domain owner, such as Bagallery.com. Third-party cookies are those placed on our domains by trusted partners that we've allowed to do so, including social media partners, advertising partners, and security providers.

Cookies can also be categorized as "session cookies" or "permanent cookies." Session cookies exist only until you close your browser or "session." Permanent cookies have various lifespans and remain on your device after you close your browser.

In addition to cookies, we also use similar tracking technologies like web beacons, scripts, tracking URLs, and software development kits (SDKs). Web beacons are small transparent image files that record how you interact with our website, emails, and mobile apps. Scripts are small computer programs that enable extra functionality on our web pages, including analytical or advertising purposes. Tracking URLs are links with unique identifiers that track which website led you to Bagallery.com.

All of these tracking technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies" in this Cookie Statement. They can store information like your IP address or device identifiers, your browser type, and your interaction with digital services to remember your preferences and settings and analyze how you use them.

How are cookies used?

Cookies are used to collect user information, including:

They allow you to be recognized as the same user across the pages of a website, devices, between websites, or when you use our apps. When it comes to purpose, they’re divided into three categories: Functional cookies, analytical cookies, and marketing cookies.

Analytical Cookies

These cookies are utilized to monitor and measure the usage of our website and applications. The information collected is then utilized to enhance and optimize our services, applications, and website.

Specifically, these cookies help us in the following ways:

Marketing Cookies

Bagallery.com and our trusted partners use cookies to gather information about you over time, across multiple websites, applications, or platforms. These marketing cookies assist us in deciding which products, services, and interest-based advertisements to show you on and off our website and applications.

To be more specific, these cookies categorize you into a certain interest profile based on your click behavior and the websites you visit. We utilize these profiles to provide personalized content such as travel ideas or specific accommodations on Bagallery.com and other websites. We also display personalized and interest-based advertisements both on our website, apps, and other websites using a process called "retargeting." This is based on your browsing activities such as the destinations you have searched for, the accommodations you have viewed, and the prices you have been shown. These ads can be shown to you both before and after you leave our website, with the aim of encouraging you to browse or return to our website. You may see these ads on websites, apps, or in emails.

Our website and apps integrate social media, allowing you to like or share content or products on various platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, Snapchat, and LinkedIn. Third-party cookies may be placed on your device using pieces of code from the individual social media providers, which may be purely functional or used to track your online browsing behavior and show you personalized ads. These cookies can be used to keep track of which websites you visit from their network and build a profile of your browsing behavior.

We work with trusted third parties to collect data, and we may occasionally share information with them, such as your email address or phone number. These third parties may link your data to other information they collect to create custom audiences or deliver targeted ads. For more information about how these third parties process your data, please refer to the following links: How Google uses information, and Facebook's data policy. Please note that social media providers' cookie and privacy statements may be updated from time to time, so we encourage you to review them.

Non-Cookie Techniques – Email Pixels

In addition to cookies, we employ other methods such as pixels that are not classified as cookies since they do not retain any data on your device. For instance, we use pixels in our newsletters to monitor their delivery, your reading and clicking behavior. This data is also collected from push notifications we send you, enabling us to refine our messaging and make it more tailored to your preferences.
