Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit websites or use online services. These files contain information that can be read by the website that created them or by other websites and services that have permission to access them. Cookies serve as a fundamental technology that enables websites to function properly and provide personalized experiences to users.

The term “cookie” derives from the computer science concept of a “magic cookie,” which refers to a packet of data that a program receives and sends back unchanged. In the context of web browsing, cookies act as a memory mechanism that allows websites to remember information about your visit and preferences, enabling a more seamless and customized user experience across multiple sessions and interactions.

Cookies can store various types of information, including user preferences such as language settings and display options, authentication credentials that keep you logged into secure areas of websites, shopping cart contents in e-commerce applications, and tracking information that helps website operators understand how their sites are being used. The information stored in cookies can range from simple preference settings to complex data structures that support sophisticated web applications.

Beyond traditional cookies, modern websites employ various tracking technologies to enhance functionality and gather insights about user behavior. Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that can track when content is viewed or accessed. These technologies are often used in conjunction with cookies to provide more comprehensive tracking capabilities.

Local storage technologies, including HTML5 local storage and session storage, provide websites with the ability to store larger amounts of data locally on user devices. Unlike traditional cookies, local storage can persist data even after browser sessions end and can store more complex data structures. These technologies enable more sophisticated web applications and can improve performance by reducing the need to repeatedly download information from servers.

JavaScript-based tracking technologies use programming code embedded in web pages to collect information about user interactions, device characteristics, and browsing behavior. These technologies can gather detailed information about how users navigate websites, which elements they interact with, and how long they spend viewing different content. Such tracking can provide valuable insights for improving website design anduser experience.

Cookies can be classified in several ways based on their characteristics and purposes. Session cookies are temporary files that are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them. Session cookies are typically used for essential website functions like maintaining your login status during a browsing session, while persistent cookies are often used for remembering preferences and tracking behavior over time.

First-party cookies are set by the website you are directly visiting, while third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one you are visiting. Third-party cookies are commonly used by advertising networks, analytics services, and social media platforms to track user behavior across multiple websites. The distinction between first-party and third-party cookies is important for privacy considerations, as third-party cookies can create detailed profiles of user behavior across the internet.

Cookies can also be categorized by their purpose and functionality. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for website operation and cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality. Preference cookies remember user choices and settings to provide a more personalized experience. Analytics cookies collect information about website usage to help operators understand and improve their services. Marketing cookies are used to deliver targeted advertising and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

Cookie implementation follows established technical standards that govern how cookies are created, transmitted, and managed. The HTTP cookie specification defines the format and behavior of cookies, including attributes such as domain scope, path restrictions, expiration dates, and security flags. These technical standards ensure consistent behavior across different browsers and platforms while providing mechanisms for controlling cookie access and security.

Modern cookie implementations include security enhancements such as the Secure flag, which ensures cookies are only transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections, and the HttpOnly flag, which prevents client-side scripts from accessing cookie data. The SameSite attribute provides additional protection against cross-site request forgery attacks by controlling when cookies are sent with cross-origin requests.

Browser manufacturers and web standards organizations continue to evolve cookie technologies and policies to balance functionality with privacy protection. Recent developments include enhanced user controls for cookie management, stricter default policies for third-party cookies, and new technologies designed to provide privacy- preserving alternatives to traditional tracking methods.

We strive to work only with reputable partners that share our commitment to user privacy and data protection.

Under applicable privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar privacy frameworks, BusinessClass-Flights relies on various legal bases for processing personal information through cookies and tracking technologies. For non-essential cookies, we primarily rely on your explicit consent, which we obtain through our cookie consent management system when you first visit our website or when you adjust your cookie preferences.

Consent for cookie processing must meet specific legal requirements, including being freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. Our consent mechanisms are designed to meet these requirements by providing clear information about cookie purposes, allowing granular control over different cookie categories, and enabling easy withdrawal of consent at any time. We do not use pre-checked boxes or other mechanisms that assume consent without explicit user action.

When you provide consent for cookie processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time through our cookie preference center or browser settings. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal, but it will prevent future cookie-based processing for the purposes you have opted out of. We make it as easy to withdraw consent as it was to provide it initially.

For users in jurisdictions where consent is required for certain types of cookies, we provide specific consent mechanisms that comply with local legal requirements. This may include different consent standards for different types of cookies, enhanced disclosure requirements, or specific opt-in procedures for certain categories of processing.

For certain cookie processing activities, we may rely on legitimate interest as the legal basis, particularly for analytics cookies that help us improve our services and ensure website security. When relying on legitimate interest, we conduct balancing tests to ensure that our legitimate business interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms, particularly your right to privacy and data protection.

Our legitimate interests include improving website performance and user experience, ensuring website security and preventing fraud, conducting business analytics to optimize our services, and maintaining and improving our technology infrastructure. These interests are balanced against potential privacy impacts, and we implement appropriate safeguards to minimize any negative effects on user privacy.

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest at any time. When you object, we will stop processing your personal information for those purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

We regularly review our legitimate interest assessments to ensure they remain valid and appropriate. Changes in our business practices, technology, or applicable law may require updates to these assessments and corresponding adjustments to our cookie processing activities.

Some cookie processing is necessary for the performance of our contract with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract. This includes cookies that are essential for providing the travel booking services you have requested, maintaining your account, processing payments, and delivering the services you have purchased from us.

Contractual necessity covers cookies that enable core booking functionality, maintain session continuity during the reservation process, enable secure payment processing, and provide access to your account and booking information. These cookies are essential for fulfilling our contractual obligations and cannot be disabled without preventing us from providing the services you have requested.

When cookie processing is based on contractual necessity, you cannot opt out of these cookies while still using our services, as they are essential for service delivery. However, you always have the choice not to use our services if you do not agree to the necessary cookie processing required for service provision.

Certain cookie processing may be required to comply with legal obligations to which BusinessClass-Flights is subject. This includes cookies used for fraud prevention, security monitoring, regulatory compliance, and maintaining records required by applicable laws and regulations. Legal compliance processing is typically limited to what is necessary to meet specific legal requirements

Compliance-related cookies may include those used for anti-money laundering monitoring, tax reporting requirements, consumer protection compliance, and other regulatory obligations that apply to travel service providers. These cookies help us maintain compliance with applicable laws while providing our services to customers.

Legal compliance processing does not require consent, as it is mandated by law. However, we provide transparency about such processing through this cookie policy and our privacy policy to ensure that you understand how and why your information is being processed for compliance purposes.

All modern web browsers provide built-in controls for managing cookies, allowing you to view, delete, and control how cookies are handled on your device. These browser controls give you fundamental control over cookie processing and can be used to implement your privacy preferences across all websites you visit. Browser settings typically allow you to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or receive notifications when cookies are being set.

Mobile devices and mobile browsers provide additional controls for managing cookies and tracking technologies. These controls may be integrated into device privacy settings or available through mobile browser settings, depending on your device and browser configuration.

Various third-party organizations provide tools and services that help users opt out of advertising cookies and behavioral tracking across multiple websites and services. These tools can be particularly useful for managing advertising cookies from multiple providers through a single interface.

BusinessClass-Flights provides a comprehensive cookie preference management system that allows you to control how we use cookies on our website. Our preference center enables granular control over different categories of cookies and provides clear information about the purposes and partners associated with each category.

BusinessClass-Flights implements a comprehensive consent management system that ensures compliance with applicable privacy laws while providing a user-friendly experience for managing cookie preferences. Our consent system is designed to meet the highest standards for valid consent under GDPR and other privacy regulations, including requirements for consent to be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.

When you first visit our website, our consent management platform presents clear information about our use of cookies and tracking technologies, organized by category and purpose. The consent interface provides detailed information about each category of cookies, the purposes for which they are used, and the third-party partners involved in cookie processing. This information enables you to make informed decisions about your privacy preferences.

Our consent system documents your consent choices and maintains records of when consent was provided, what information was presented, and which specific purposes you consented to. This documentation helps us demonstrate compliance with privacy regulations and ensures that we can honor your preferences consistently across your interactions with our services.

Consent records are maintained securely and are accessible to you through your account settings or by contacting our privacy team. You can review your consent history, understand what you have consented to, and make changes to your preferences at anytime.

You have the right to withdraw your consent for cookie processing at any time, and we make it as easy to withdraw consent as it was to provide it initially. Our cookie preference center is accessible from every page of our website and allows you to modify your consent choices quickly and easily without requiring account registration or complex procedures.

When you withdraw consent for specific categories of cookies, we immediately stop using those cookies for the purposes you have opted out of. However, withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal, and some information may be retained for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention or legal compliance.

Consent withdrawal may affect the functionality of our website and services, particularly if you withdraw consent for functional cookies that enhance user experience. We provide clear information about the potential impact of consent withdrawal so that you can make informed decisions about your privacy preferences.

You can also modify your consent choices to enable or disable specific categories of cookies without completely withdrawing all consent. This granular control allows you to customize your privacy preferences to match your comfort level with different types of data collection and use.

BusinessClass-Flights takes special care to protect the privacy of minors and complies with applicable laws regarding the collection of personal information from children. Our services are not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate parental consent.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. Parents and guardians who believe that their child has provided personal information to us without consent should contact our privacy team immediately so that we can address the situation appropriately.

Our cookie consent system includes age verification mechanisms where required by applicable law. Users who indicate that they are under the applicable age threshold are directed to seek parental consent before using our services or are provided with age-appropriate privacy protections.

Parental consent mechanisms, where implemented, provide parents with clear information about our data collection practices and allow them to make informed decisions about their child’s use of our services. Parents can also contact us to review, modify, or delete information collected from their children.

BusinessClass-Flights operates internationally and serves customers from various jurisdictions with different privacy laws and consent requirements. Our consent management system is designed to accommodate these different requirements while providing a consistent user experience across different markets and jurisdictions.

For users in the European Union, our consent system complies with GDPR requirements for valid consent, including specific standards for consent collection, documentation, and withdrawal. EU users receive enhanced privacy protections and have access to specific rights under GDPR, including the right to data portability and the right to be forgotten.

Users in California and other jurisdictions with specific privacy laws receive appropriate protections and disclosures as required by applicable law. Our consent system adapts to provide jurisdiction-specific information and controls while maintaining consistency in our overall privacy approach.

International data transfers that may result from cookie processing are conducted in accordance with applicable legal requirements, including appropriate safeguards and transfer mechanisms. Users are informed about international transfers and have the opportunity to object to such transfers where legally required.

BusinessClass-Flights implements comprehensive security measures to protect information collected through cookies and tracking technologies. Our security framework includes technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of cookie data and associated personal information.

Technical security measures include encryption of sensitive cookie data both in transit and at rest, secure transmission protocols for all cookie-related communications, and access controls that limit cookie data access to authorized personnel only. We use industry-standard encryption protocols and regularly update our security measures to address emerging threats and vulnerabilities.

Administrative security measures include employee training on privacy and security requirements, background checks for personnel with access to personal information, and regular security audits and assessments. We maintain incident response procedures to address potential security breaches and ensure that any security incidents are handled promptly and appropriately.

Physical security measures protect our servers and data centers where cookie data may be stored or processed. These measures include restricted access to facilities, environmental controls, and monitoring systems that help prevent unauthorized physical access to systems containing personal information.

We implement data minimization principles in our cookie processing activities, collecting only the information that is necessary for the specific purposes we have identified. Cookie data collection is limited to what is proportionate and relevant to the purposes for which it is collected, and we regularly review our data collection practices to ensure they remain necessary and appropriate.

Purpose limitation ensures that cookie data is used only for the purposes for which it was collected or for compatible purposes that are clearly communicated to users. We do not use cookie data for purposes that are incompatible with the original collection purposes without obtaining additional consent or establishing another appropriate legal basis.

Data accuracy measures ensure that cookie data remains current and accurate for the purposes for which it is used. We implement procedures to correct inaccurate information and to update data when necessary to maintain its accuracy and relevance.

Regular data reviews help us identify cookie data that is no longer necessary for its original purposes and ensure that such data is deleted or anonymized appropriately. These reviews are part of our broader data governance framework that ensures responsible data management throughout the data lifecycle.

All third-party partners who may access or process cookie data are required to maintain appropriate security measures that meet or exceed our own security standards. We conduct due diligence on third-party partners to assess their security capabilities and require contractual commitments to data protection and security.

Data processing agreements with third-party partners specify security requirements, incident notification procedures, and audit rights that help ensure appropriate protection of cookie data. These agreements are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in security best practices and regulatory requirements.

Third-party security assessments may include reviews of security policies and procedures, technical security measures, and compliance with relevant security standards and certifications. We work only with partners who demonstrate a commitment to data protection and security that aligns with our own standards.

Incident response coordination with third-party partners ensures that security incidents involving cookie data are handled promptly and effectively. Partners are required to notify us of any security incidents that may affect our data or our customers, and we maintain procedures for coordinating incident response activities.

BusinessClass-Flights maintains comprehensive incident response procedures that address potential security breaches involving cookie data and other personal information. Our incident response plan includes procedures for detecting, investigating, and responding to security incidents, as well as notification requirements for affected individuals and regulatory authorities.

Breach detection measures include monitoring systems that help identify potential security incidents, regular security assessments that identify vulnerabilities, and employee training that helps staff recognize and report potential security issues. Early detection is crucial for minimizing the impact of security incidents and protecting affected individuals.

Incident investigation procedures ensure that security incidents are thoroughly investigated to determine their scope, cause, and impact. Investigation findings inform our response activities and help us implement measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Notification procedures comply with applicable legal requirements for breach notification, including timelines for notification, required content for breach notifications, and coordination with regulatory authorities. We are committed to transparency about security incidents and provide clear information to affected individuals about the nature of incidents and steps they can take to protect themselves.

BusinessClass-Flights operates internationally and may transfer cookie data and associated personal information across international borders to provide our services effectively. International data transfers may occur when we use third-party service providers located in different countries, when we provide services to customers traveling internationally, or when we operate technology infrastructure in multiple jurisdictions.

All international data transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable privacy laws and regulations, including GDPR requirements for international transfers and similar requirements under other privacy frameworks. We implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that personal information receives adequate protection regardless of where it is processed.

Transfer mechanisms may include adequacy decisions by relevant authorities, standard contractual clauses approved by regulatory authorities, binding corporate rules, or other appropriate safeguards recognized under applicable law. We select transfer mechanisms based on the specific circumstances of each transfer and the level of protection they provide.

Regular reviews of international transfer arrangements ensure that they continue to provide appropriate protection and comply with evolving legal requirements. Changes in law, regulatory guidance, or business circumstances may require updates to transfer mechanisms or additional safeguards.

Where available, we rely on adequacy decisions by relevant privacy authorities that recognize certain countries as providing adequate protection for personal information. Adequacy decisions simplify international transfers by establishing that the destination country provides a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to that provided by the originating jurisdiction.

For transfers to countries without adequacy decisions, we implement alternative safeguards such as standard contractual clauses that provide contractual protections for transferred personal information. Standard contractual clauses are pre-approved contract terms that establish appropriate protections for international data transfers.

We monitor developments in international transfer frameworks and adapt our transfer mechanisms as necessary to maintain compliance with evolving requirements. This includes staying informed about changes to adequacy decisions, updates to standard contractual clauses, and new transfer mechanisms that may become available.

Safe harbor frameworks and similar arrangements may provide additional options for international transfers in specific circumstances. We evaluate these frameworks based on their legal validity, practical effectiveness, and alignment with our privacy protection standards.

International data transfers that may result from cookie processing are conducted in accordance with applicable legal requirements, including appropriate safeguards and transfer mechanisms. Users are informed about international transfers and have the opportunity to object to such transfers where legally required.

Data localization compliance may involve storing certain types of data within specific geographic boundaries, implementing local data processing capabilities, or providing local access to data for regulatory authorities. We implement these requirements in a manner that maintains service quality while respecting local legal obligations.

Where data localization requirements conflict with our ability to provide international services, we work with customers and regulatory authorities to find appropriate solutions that balance compliance requirements with service delivery needs. This may involve implementing hybrid processing models or seeking regulatory guidance on compliance approaches.

Regular monitoring of data localization requirements helps us stay informed about new or changing requirements that may affect our operations. We maintain flexibility in our data processing architecture to accommodate evolving localization requirements while maintaining service effectiveness.

For certain international transfers, particularly those involving countries without adequacy decisions or those involving sensitive personal information, we conduct transfer impact assessments to evaluate the level of protection provided in the destination country and the effectiveness of implemented safeguards.

Transfer impact assessments consider factors such as the legal framework in the destination country, the likelihood of government access to personal information, the effectiveness of available legal remedies, and the specific safeguards implemented for the transfer. These assessments help us make informed decisions about transfer mechanisms and additional protections.

Assessment findings may lead to implementation of additional safeguards, selection of alternative transfer mechanisms, or decisions to avoid certain transfers where adequate protection cannot be ensured. We prioritize the protection of personal information while maintaining our ability to provide effective services.

Regular reviews of transfer impact assessments ensure that they remain current and accurate as legal and practical circumstances change. Changes in destination country laws, regulatory guidance, or business practices may require updates to assessments and corresponding adjustments to transfer arrangements.

BusinessClass-Flights implements specific retention periods for different types of cookie data based on the purposes for which the data is collected and applicable legal requirements. Retention periods are designed to balance business needs with privacy protection principles, ensuring that data is not retained longer than necessary for its intended purposes.

We implement automated systems that ensure cookie data is deleted according to established retention schedules without requiring manual intervention. Automated deletion helps ensure consistent application of retention policies and reduces the risk of inadvertent over-retention of personal information.

Automated deletion processes include regular purging of expired cookies from our systems, automatic expiration of browser-stored cookies based on their configured lifespans, and systematic deletion of analytics and marketing data according to established schedules. These processes are monitored and audited to ensure they function correctly and completely.

Exception handling procedures address situations where automated deletion may not be appropriate, such as when data is subject to legal holds, ongoing investigations, or specific user requests. These exceptions are carefully managed and regularly reviewed to ensure they remain necessary and appropriate.

Anonymization and aggregation help us balance privacy protection with legitimate business and research interests.
