Cookie Policy
www.siracusatravel.com or the “Site” uses cookies to make your services simple and efficient for users viewing the pages. This page is part of our Privacy Policy and describes the use of cookies on our website. Most of the sites visited use cookies in order to improve the user’s online experience by making the website “remember” it, both for the duration of the visit (through a “session cookie”) and in case of repeated visits (through a “permanent cookie”). This policy explains how this happens. Some websites also use cookies to create targeted advertising or marketing messages, based for example on the user’s location and / or browsing habits.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files (usually numbers and letters) that a website can place on the user’s computer or mobile device when they visit a site or page. Cookies will allow the website or another website to recognize the user’s device at the time of the next visit. The same is true for web beacons and other similar files. In this policy we will use the term “cookie” to refer to all files that collect information in this way. Cookies perform many different functions, such as allowing efficient navigation between web pages, memorizing user preferences, improving the user’s overall online experience on a website. Cookies allow easier and faster interaction between the user and the website. If a website does not use cookies, it will consider the user a new visitor every time he moves to a new page of the site: for example, when the user enters the login data and moves to another page, it will not be recognized and the site will not be able to keep the login active. Some cookies contain personal information. For example, if the user clicks “remember me” at the time of access, a cookie will store his username. Most cookies do not collect information that identifies the user, but store more general information such as how users reach and use a website or the general location of a user.
How do we use cookies?
Cookies allow us to identify the user’s device or the time in which it accessed. We use cookies that are strictly necessary to allow the user to move around the site or to provide some basic functions. We use cookies to increase the functionality of the website by storing, for example, user preferences. We also use cookies to improve the performance of our website, thus guaranteeing the user a better online experience. To eliminate any doubts, we do not use cookies to collect information that personally identifies the user. For more information regarding the cookies used on this website, please visit
