Cookie Statement
This Cookie Statement explains how Pera Tech Doo ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our global boat rental platform. This statement is designed to comply with international data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), by providing transparent information about our data collection practices.
By continuing to browse or use our platform, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this statement, subject to the preferences you select via our cookie consent banner and your browser settings.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded and stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website or use an application. They allow the website to recognize your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies serve various purposes, from enabling essential website functions to helping us understand how users interact with our platform, which allows us to improve the user experience and deliver relevant content.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
To provide clarity and ensure you have control over your data, we categorize the cookies used on our platform into four distinct groups:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the platform to function securely and correctly. They enable core functionalities such as user authentication, account management, and the processing of booking requests. Because these are critical to the platform's operation, they cannot be disabled in our systems.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors navigate the platform. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and, therefore, anonymous.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies enable the platform to provide enhanced personalization and functionality. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. They allow the site to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, currency, or the region you are in.
- Targeting and Advertising Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They are used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly identifiable personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
3. Third-Party Payment Processors and Security
To facilitate secure and seamless transactions between Guests and Hosts, we utilize integrated third-party payment gateways, such as Stripe.
Please be aware that Stripe and other financial partners use their own Strictly Necessary cookies to process transactions securely, verify your identity, and strictly prevent fraudulent activity. These cookies are essential for regulatory compliance and the financial security of the marketplace. The use of these cookies is governed by the respective privacy and cookie policies of the payment processors.
4. GDPR and CCPA Compliance
We respect your privacy rights regarding tracking technologies:
- Under the GDPR: We rely on your explicit consent to deploy Performance, Functionality, and Targeting cookies. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
- Under the CCPA: California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information. Disabling Targeting and Advertising cookies acts as an effective opt-out for cross-context behavioral advertising.
5. How to Manage or Delete Cookies
You have full control over how cookies are handled on your device. You can manage your preferences through the following methods:
- Cookie Consent Banner: Upon your first visit to our platform, you will be presented with a cookie preference center. You can use this to opt in or out of non-essential cookie categories at any time.
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings preferences. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete them completely upon closing the browser. Please refer to your browser's "Help" section (e.g., Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge) for specific instructions.
Important Note: If you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including Strictly Necessary cookies), you may not be able to access all or parts of our platform, and you will not be able to complete a boat rental booking.
