Cookie Policy

A cookie is a simple, tiny text file that is stored on a web browser when you visit a website that is incapable of performing any tasks or functions. When you revisit a web page, your browser checks to see if any cookies that are stored on your computer are valid ones for the page you are visiting. If they are, the information contained within them is sent back to that webserver.

Without cookies, you could visit two web pages and the website would not connect that you have seen both pages. It would look at the visits individually. Cookies will allow you to remember which villa or resort you are searching for on a specific date to check availability and price. CV Travel uses cookies mainly because they make the browsing experience more efficient, enjoyable and provide relevant content.

No. Cookies are small pieces of text. It is not a program, cannot be used as a virus or access your hard drive, and no other website can use it. Your browser will only share information in the cookie from the website that provided it.

Modern browsers allow users to set their own limitations to the number of cookies saved on their hard drives. To learn more about cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Cookies let us identify the device you are using and how you use our website – but not you personally. They are essential for many features of our website to work, help us identify and resolve errors, monitor web traffic and identify which pages are being used to help us analyse data and improve our site. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and they in no way give us any information about you.

CV Travel’s cookies’ key features allow you to:

•   Store and review favourite items added to your ‘Travel Planner’ from whichever device you choose.


•   Check live price and availability or order a brochure.


•   Collect information and surveys so CV Travel can learn more about how you use our website and improve your online experience.


•   Provide you with relevant prices and offers on our own website and through our marketing activity.

CV Travel has good relationships with a small number of carefully selected suppliers who may also set cookies on behalf of us in order to improve our website and bring our customers information and offers that are relevant to you. If you would like more information about the cookies used by these suppliers, please see below.
