4. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for our Site to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas. Our Site cannot function properly without these cookies and they cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through our Site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

5. THIRD PARTY COOKIES

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third party cookies to report usage statistics of the Site, deliver advertisements, and support our affiliate marketing programs. These third party cookies are governed by the respective privacy and cookie policies of those third parties and not by this Cookies Policy.

The main third party services we currently use that may set cookies on your device include, but are not limited to:

Google Analytics — used to collect information about how visitors use our Site in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors, where they came from, and the pages they visited.

Amazon Associates — used to track affiliate link clicks and attribute purchases made on Amazon to our Site for commission purposes.

CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction) — used to track affiliate link clicks and purchases made through CJ Affiliate partner merchants across various product and service categories.

6. AFFILIATE TRACKING COOKIES

GainSpotQH participates in various affiliate marketing programs. When you click on a product or service link on our Site, a tracking cookie may be placed on your device by the relevant affiliate partner. This cookie allows these companies to recognize that you came from our Site when you make a purchase or booking, which enables us to earn a commission.

These affiliate tracking cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information about you. They only record that a visitor from our Site visited the partner’s website. The affiliate tracking cookie does not affect the price you pay for any product or service in any way — you pay exactly the same price as any other customer.

Affiliate tracking cookies typically remain active for a defined period from the time you click on one of our affiliate links, which varies by partner. If you return to the partner’s website and make a purchase or booking within that window, we may earn a commission on that transaction.

7. ANALYTICS COOKIES

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our visitors engage with our Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit our Site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our Site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Site and content.

Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our Site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our Site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google.

You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to our Site by disabling cookies on your browser or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

8. ADVERTISING COOKIES

We may use Google AdSense or other advertising networks to display advertisements on our Site. These advertising services may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your visits to our Site and other websites in order to provide you with relevant advertisements.

The information collected by advertising cookies does not directly identify you personally, but it may be linked to information about you held by advertising networks. These cookies track your browsing habits to enable us and our advertising partners to show advertisements that are more likely to be of interest to you.
