What cookies are and why they are used
Cookies are small pieces of data that may be stored on, or accessed through, your browser when you use a website. They can help a website recognise a browser during a visit or remember a choice on a later visit. Similar browser technologies can perform comparable functions. A cookie does not, by itself, identify you as a person; its role depends on the information and technology involved in a particular website interaction.
Operation
Cookies or comparable storage may support reliable page operation, security-related functions, and the delivery of features needed to use the Aboard Compass website as intended.
Preferences
Where available, preference-related storage may remember a choice you make so that returning to the site is more consistent and does not require the same selection each time.
Measurement
Measurement technologies may help us understand aggregate use of guide pages and improve site structure or page performance. This is about the website, not cruise bookings or gaming activity.
Third-party features
Where connected or embedded services are available, their technologies may support those features. Their use and controls can vary depending on the service and your settings.
Cookie categories and duration
Essential cookies
Site functionSome cookies or comparable storage may be needed for core site operation, security, and remembering a privacy-related choice where applicable. If these functions are restricted, parts of the website may not work as reliably or may not retain the choices you expect.
Browser blocking can affect functionality.
Preference cookies
Preference-related storage may, where available, remember choices that improve a return visit, including interface or consent-related settings. You can generally change or remove stored preferences through browser controls, although the relevant choice may then need to be made again.
Stored choices can usually be removed.
Analytics or performance cookies
Measurement technologies may help Aboard Compass understand aggregate website use and improve guide structure or page performance. Where used, this type of information is intended to show broad patterns rather than directly identify a visitor by itself.
Use can vary by page or service.
Session and persistent storage
Some information may last only for the period in which your browser is open or your visit continues. Other information may remain until it expires, is replaced, or is deleted. The actual duration depends on the technology involved and your browser or device settings. This explanation does not mean that any particular category is used on every visit; browser controls remain the practical place to review or delete stored data.
Third-party content and external services
Where Aboard Compass makes content, tools, or links from another organisation available, that organisation may use its own technologies and privacy practices. An external link takes you beyond this website, while an embedded or connected feature, if present, may communicate with another provider through your browser. This policy does not replace the information supplied by those providers.
Following an external link
Selecting a link to another website takes you to a service governed by that service’s own cookie and privacy information. Aboard Compass does not control that website. Review the destination service’s policy before using its features or providing information there.
Using an embedded feature
An embedded feature, if available, may connect your browser to another provider and may be subject to that provider’s controls. Availability and behaviour can vary. Consider available consent settings and the provider’s own policy where relevant.
