Cookies Policy
Effective Date: 28/07/2026
This Cookies Policy explains how Wander Cyprus ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website www.wandercyprus.com (the "Website"). By using our Website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide information to website owners, and to enhance your user experience.
Cookies can be classified as:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the basic operation of the website.
- Performance cookies: Collect information about how visitors use the website, e.g., which pages are most visited.
- Functionality cookies: Remember your preferences, e.g., language or region.
- Targeting/Advertising cookies: Track your browsing habits to deliver relevant ads.
- Affiliate/referral cookies: Set by a partner website after you follow a link from our Website, so that any booking you make can be attributed to us and we can be paid a commission.
Cookies We Use
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Essential for website operation | Login sessions, shopping cart |
| Performance | Collect anonymous usage data | Google Analytics, visitor statistics |
| Functionality | Remember user choices | Language selection, location preferences |
| Advertising | Deliver relevant advertisements | Third-party ad networks, social media sharing |
| Affiliate / referral | Attribute a booking made on a partner's website to a link you followed from our Website, so the partner can pay us a commission | DiscoverCars.com (car hire), Viator (tours and experiences) |
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Improve the performance and functionality of our Website.
- Understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve its content and user experience.
- Personalize your experience by remembering your preferences and settings.
- Deliver targeted advertising and measure its effectiveness.
Third-Party Cookies
We may allow third-party services, such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, advertising partners, or affiliate partners, to place cookies on your device. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across websites. We do not control these cookies, and their use is subject to the third-party's own privacy policies.
Affiliate and Referral Cookies
Some of the links on our Website are affiliate links. If you follow one of these links and go on to make a booking, the partner may pay us a commission. This costs you nothing — the price you pay is the same as it would be if you had visited the partner's website directly.
To work out that a booking came from us, the partner sets a cookie in your browser — either when you arrive on their website after following one of our links, or when one of their booking tools is embedded in a page you are viewing. It is important to understand that:
- These cookies are set by the partner on their own domain, not by Wander Cyprus on wandercyprus.com. We cannot read them and they do not tell us who you are.
- They record only that a visit or booking originated from our Website, together with a reference identifying us as the referring partner and, in some cases, which page of our Website you came from.
- They can be long-lived. The DiscoverCars.com affiliate cookie, for example, has a lifetime of 365 days, meaning a booking you make with that partner within a year of clicking our link may still be attributed to us.
- We receive commission reporting from our partners in aggregate. We are not given your name, contact details, payment details or booking reference through these programmes.
The affiliate partners we currently work with are DiscoverCars.com (car hire) and Viator (tours and experiences). This list may change over time, and we will update this policy accordingly.
Because these cookies are set on the partner's website, they are governed by that partner's cookie and privacy policies, and by any cookie preferences you set on their site. You can also block or delete them using your browser settings, as described under "Managing Cookies" below. Blocking them will not prevent you from making a booking; it will simply mean we are not credited for it.
Managing Cookies
You can manage or disable cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- See what cookies you have and delete them individually.
- Block cookies from certain or all websites.
- Set preferences to accept or reject cookies automatically.
Please note that if you block or delete cookies, some parts of the Website may not function correctly or some features may be limited.
For more information on managing cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org or consult your browser's help pages.
Consent to Cookies
When you first visit our Website you will be shown a cookie banner. Our own analytics are held back until you answer it: until you consent, our analytics provider is instructed not to store any cookie or identifier on your device. Simply continuing to browse does not count as consent to analytics.
Some pages embed booking tools operated by our partners — for example the car hire search on our car rental page, which is provided by DiscoverCars.com. So that the tool is ready to use when the page opens, these load together with the page rather than waiting for the banner, and the partner may set its own cookies at that point. If you would prefer to avoid this, you can block third-party cookies in your browser settings, or simply not visit those pages; the rest of the Website works normally either way.
The banner lets you:
- Accept all — allow every category described above.
- Reject all — keep only the strictly necessary cookies. This is offered as prominently as accepting.
- Manage — switch individual categories on or off and save your choice.
Our analytics provider, Google Analytics, is configured using Google Consent Mode. Until you give consent for performance cookies, it is instructed not to store analytics cookies or identifiers on your device.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the footer of any page. Withdrawing consent for a category will also remove the cookies we previously set for it. We will ask you again after 12 months, or sooner if we introduce a new category of cookie.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, the services we offer, or regulatory requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with the "Effective Date" updated.
