Cookie Policy

The Budget UAE website (www.budget-uae.com) utilizes cookies to enhance user experience and site functionality. Cookies are small text files stored by your browser that remember information between web pages and sessions. Budget employs both "first-party" cookies—generated and used by the Budget website—and "third-party" cookies—generated on our site by third parties. These cookies help in remembering each part of your reservation, customer details, and displaying appropriate content based on your selected options and journey. They also assist in understanding user behavior within the site, enabling us to improve your experience.

Types of Cookies Used:

• Session Cookies: Contain information used within your current browser session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Nothing is persisted on your machine beyond the time you spend on the site.
• Persistent Cookies: Hold information used between visits, allowing sites to recognize returning customers and react accordingly. Persistent cookies have a lifetime value set by the website, which can vary between a few minutes or several years.

Purpose of Cookies:

• Maintain your session as you progress through the site, keeping track of your reservation details and login status.
• Display relevant products within your journey.
• Track customer interaction within the site through web analytics cookies from partners like Google and Adobe, providing valuable insights to improve the site and the products and services offered.
• Work with partners who write third-party cookies used by advertisers on other sites to display appropriate and relevant adverts based on your browsing history. These cookies do not store personal information enabling other sites to identify you; they are based purely on browsing history.

Managing Cookies:

All web browsers allow you to limit cookie behavior or turn off cookies within the settings or options of the browser. The steps to do this are different for each browser; you can find instructions under the Help menu of your browser. Through your browser, you can also view the cookies that are on your computer and delete individual ones or purge them all. Cookies are just text files, so you can open them and read the contents. The data within them is often encrypted or a numerical key corresponding to a web session, so they often don’t make sense to anything other than the website that wrote it.

If you turn off cookies, the Budget site will not be able to create a reservation. Disabling cookies will also affect the monitoring of your progress through the site but will not stop the analytics code from recognizing your visit.

Cookies Created by the Budget Site:

• Session Cookies: Include data used by the web server hardware about which server is processing your session and the details of your reservation.
• Persistent Cookies: Created by the Budget website and used by technology partners like Adobe, Redeye, Maxymiser, and Google to optimize your Budget website experience and recognize returning users. The information stored is used to serve you appropriate adverts on other sites on our behalf. Deleting these cookies won’t affect your experience or the functionality of the website.
