4.1 By Origin

Type Description
First-party cookies Set directly by velqorinestavia.com and readable only by us. These cookies support the core functionality of our Website and remember your preferences.
Third-party cookies Set by external service providers whose content or tools appear on our Website, such as analytics platforms or social media plugins. Those providers operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, for which we are not responsible. Please refer to Section 9 for further information.

5. Categories of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies on our Website into the following four categories.

5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for our Website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access to protected areas, and the operation of our consent management tool. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided.

Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR) and, where applicable, compliance with a legal obligation. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, your consent is not required before we set them.

5.2 Functional (Preference) Cookies

These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, layout settings or whether you have previously dismissed a notice. They improve your experience by personalising certain features.

Legal basis: Your consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR).

5.3 Analytics (Performance) Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, for example which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and any error messages encountered. The data gathered is used in aggregated or anonymised form to help us understand Website performance and improve our content.

Legal basis: Your consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR).

5.4 Marketing (Targeting) Cookies

These cookies may be used to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant content or promotional material, either on our Website or on third-party platforms, based on your browsing activity. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing communications.

Legal basis: Your consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR).

8. Withdrawing or Changing Your Consent

You may change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal. To update your preferences, you can:

  • Use our consent management tool: A link to reopen your cookie preferences is available in the footer of every page of our Website.
  • Adjust your browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please see Section 10 for guidance on browser controls.
  • Contact us directly: If you need assistance managing your preferences, please write to us at privacy@velqorinestavia.com.

Please be aware that refusing or deleting certain categories of cookies may affect the functionality of our Website and the quality of your experience.

9. Third-Party Cookies and Your Responsibility to Review Their Policies

Some cookies on our Website are set by third-party service providers. We select our third-party providers carefully, but we do not control how those providers collect or use the information obtained through their cookies. Each third-party provider is an independent data controller in respect of the data it collects through its own cookies.

We encourage you to read the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party service provider whose cookies may be present on our Website. If you have questions about a third-party cookie and cannot identify the provider, please contact us at privacy@velqorinestavia.com and we will do our best to assist you.

11. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no universally agreed technical standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our Website does not currently alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, but you can use the consent controls described in Sections 7 and 8 to limit optional tracking at any time.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
