Cookie Statement

Whenever you use our website, cookies and other tracking technologies can be used in various ways, such as making the MallorcanTonic.com website work, to analyse traffic, or for advertisement purposes. These technologies are either used by us directly, or by our business partners, including third party service providers and advertisers we work with.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small amount of data that is placed in the browser of your computer or on your mobile device. “First party cookies” are cookies which are served by the entity operating the domain through which the cookie is served. MallorcanTonic.com’s own cookies are therefore “first party cookies”. In case we allow others to service cookies through the MallorcanTonic.com website, these cookies are called “third party cookies”.

In addition, there is a difference between session cookies and permanent cookies. Session cookies will only exist until you close your browser. Permanent cookies have a longer lifespan and are not automatically deleted once you close your browser. We strive to serve cookies or allow the serving of cookies with a maximum lifespan of 5 years. Only in exceptional circumstances, such as for security purposes and where absolutely necessary, will a cookie have a longer lifespan than that.

Other tracking technologies are also used which are similar to cookies. These can include web beacons (also known as pixel tags, web bugs or gifs), tracking URLs or software development kits (SDKs). A web beacon is a tiny graphic image of just one pixel that can be delivered to your computer as part of a web page request, in an advertisement or in an HTML email message. Pixels can be used to retrieve information from your device, such as your device type or operating system, IP address, and time of visit. They are also used to serve and read cookies in your browser. Tracking URLs are used to understand from which referring website the MallorcanTonic.com website is used. SDKs are small pieces of code included in apps, which function like cookies and web beacons.

All these technologies are together referred to in this Cookie Statement as “cookies”.
