Privacy Policy
At Eco Ocean Escapes (accessible at ecooceanescapes.com) one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. We understand that privacy is extremely important, especially when it comes to sharing personal information online. This Privacy Policy document contains details on the types of information that is collected and recorded by our travel agency and how we use it responsibly to provide you with an exceptional travel experience.
Log Files
Eco Ocean Escapes follows a standard procedure of using log files, a common practice utilized by hosting companies worldwide to track website analytics. These plain text files act as a record, logging each visitor to a website by collecting a set of data points. Specifically, log files capture the visiting device's IP address, a unique identifier for that machine. The files also note the type of browser and operating system used to access the site, along with the user's Internet Service Provider.
Hosting providers leverage log files to identify overall website usage trends, popular pages, technical issues, and demographic information based on geography, browser, or device type. By unobtrusively tracking this metadata about each visit, log files provide crucial insights that assist Eco Ocean Escapes and other webmasters in administering and improving their sites. The standard logging practices reveal when, where, how, and what brings people to a website.
Cookies and Web Beacons
Eco Ocean Escapes, like most modern websites, utilises small data files known as 'cookies' to enhance and customize the browsing experience for users. When someone visits the Eco Ocean Escapes website, these cookies are stored on their computer or mobile device by the site. The cookies contain information such as the types of pages viewed, preferences selected, or items added to a shopping cart. This allows the website to remember the visitor's actions and preferences across multiple pages.
The main purpose of using cookies on the Eco Ocean Escapes website is to optimise and tailor the experience for each unique user. For example, if the site detects you are visiting from a mobile phone, it can serve up a version of the site optimised for smaller screens. It may also note products you showed interest in through your browsing behavior, and highlight similar items when you visit again. The cookies also allow the site to track which pages are most popular, which can influence decisions about site design, navigation, and marketing.
Privacy Policies
Eco Ocean Escapes relies on outside companies to provide advertisements for its website. These third-party advertising partners, known as ad servers or ad networks, use tracking technologies like cookies, JavaScript, and Web Beacons to serve ads and measure their effectiveness. Specifically, when a user visits the Eco Ocean Escapes website, the advertising partner's tracking code gets executed. This allows them to register the user's IP address and browser information. The ad partner uses this data to target ads and determine how well their ad campaigns are performing.
Importantly, these third party tracking cookies are outside of Eco Ocean Escapes's control. Eco Ocean Escapes does not have access to the data collected by ad partners through cookies. The privacy policies of each specific advertising company explain how they use cookies and protect user data. While Eco Ocean Escapes relies on ad networks to fund the website, it aims to provide transparency around their practices and policies. Checking their individual privacy policies allows users to make informed decisions about their data.
Third Party Privacy Policies
Eco Ocean Escapes's privacy policy protects the personal information of its users, but it is important to note that this policy does not extend to third-party advertisers or websites that may appear on Eco Ocean Escapes. Users should be aware that when they click on advertisements or links that direct them outside of the Eco Ocean Escapes website, they are no longer protected by Eco Ocean Escapes's privacy standards. Instead, they enter into an agreement with that third-party site which likely has its own privacy policy governing how users' information is collected, stored and shared.
Eco Ocean Escapes encourages users to carefully read the privacy policies of any external sites before providing personal data. Users should look for details on whether the site shares information with advertisers or marketing partners and if they allow opting out of data collection. Furthermore, Eco Ocean Escapes reminds users they can manage cookies on their own through their individual browser settings. Most major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge provide options to clear cookies or block them altogether. Users can also set their browser to notify them whenever a site attempts to place a cookie so they can decide whether to accept it.
Children’s Information
At Eco Ocean Escapes, we take child safety very seriously and do not knowingly collect any personal identifiable information from children under 13. If you believe your child has shared such information through our website, please notify us immediately so we can promptly remove it from our records. Protecting privacy is of the utmost importance, and we aim to provide a secure online environment suitable for users of all ages.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is an invaluable tool that our company relies on to gain insights into how users interact with our website. By implementing the Google Analytics tracking code on our site, we enable the service to place small text files called cookies on visitors' browsers. As users browse through our pages, these cookies anonymously collect important usage data that is then aggregated by Google Analytics into a comprehensive set of reports.
