Your Consent
By

computer in order to analyse the way you use our website. Please read this cookie policy carefully for
more details about the information we collect when you use this site.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a
small file of letters and numbers that are placed on your browser or the hard
drive of your computer. Cookies contain
information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive.
Key Concepts
First
and third-party cookies: whether
a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the domain placing the cookie.
First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the
user at the time (e.g., cookies placed by www.etihad.com).
Third-party
cookies: are cookies that are set by a domain other than
that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that
website this would be a third-party cookie.
Persistent
cookies: these cookies remain on a user’s device for the
period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the
user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
Session cookies:
these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a
browser session. A browser session
starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the
browser window. Session cookies are
created temporarily. Once you close the
browser, all session cookies are deleted.
How to delete and block our cookies
You block cookies by activating the setting on
your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to
block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access
all or parts of our site.
Unless you
have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system
will issue cookies as soon you visit our site. Turning off or deleting cookies will not prevent device identification
and related data collection from occurring.
How to turn cookies off?
Internet browsers allow you to change your cookie
settings. These settings are usually found in the 'options' or 'preferences'
menu of your internet browser. In order to understand these settings, the following
links may be helpful. Otherwise you should use the 'Help' option in your
internet browser for more details.
Can I withdraw my consent?
Once you have given us your consent to the use of
cookies, we shall store a cookie on your computer or device to remember this
for next time. This will expire
periodically (and in all cases within 13 months). If you wish to withdraw your consent at any
time, you will need to delete your cookies using your internet browser
settings.

What personal information do cookies collect?
Generally, a cookie will contain a string of text
that contains information about the browser. To work, a cookie does not need to
know where you are from, it only needs to remember your browser.
Some cookies
we use may store more personal information about you. However, this can be done
only if you yourself have provided the our website with that personal
information.
