1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of text that a website you visit sends to your browser. It helps the website to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language and other types of settings. This will facilitate your next visit and make the site more useful to you. Without cookies, using the Internet would be a much more frustrating experience.
Generally speaking, cookies allow a website to personalize a visit, for example by:
- Show relevant navigation settings.
- Remember visitor preferences.
- Improve the overall user experience.
- Perform statistics on the use of the website by users (pages visited, contents consulted, products searched ...)
- Manage, personalize and mimic the number of ads displayed.
Volotea uses cookies, tags and other similar technologies. These technologies allow us to recognize your preferred information, track your purchases, facilitate effective site administration, and measure, as well as optimize, the results of marketing campaigns. We use the information we collect to improve your visit to our website and to provide you with information tailored to your needs.
What are Pixel Tags ?
Volotea and its third party service providers use pixel tags (also known as " clear gifs ", " beacon gifs ", etc.). Pixel tags are not visible to the user of the website and consist of a few lines of computer coding that are transmitted with the website. Pixel tags are not used to collect personal information about you, other than what you voluntarily provide to us during your transactions with Volotea.
Volotea and our email service provider use pixel tags to:
- Track customer response to advertisements and content on the Volotea website.
- Determine your ability to receive HTML-based emails. Our email service provider includes a pixel tag, which it calls an "encoded sensor", in all HTML-based messages it sends on our behalf. The sensor is activated when the email is opened and signals the user's email address as capable of receiving HTML-based email messages. This feature enables our service provider to send the email in a format that you can read. The sensor does not collect or use any other information. If you cannot receive HTML messages, you will not receive a working sensor.
- Know how many users open an email and allow our service provider to collect global statistics about an email campaign for us
- Allow us to improve the objective of interactive advertising, increase customer support and site functionality, and provide offers and promotions that we believe may be of interest to you.
Since the operation and purpose of the Pixel Tags are similar to C Ookies, hereinafter we shall refer to all technologies together, as Cookies.
