Cookie Policy

Understanding Cookies on Sunmaj

Sunmaj uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember visitor preferences and understand how people use our travel guides and comparisons.

This Cookie Policy explains the types of technologies that may be used on sunmaj.co.uk, their purposes and the choices available to visitors.

Please also read our Privacy Policy for information about how we handle personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your computer, smartphone or other device.

They can help websites remember information about your visit, maintain functionality and recognise certain preferences.

Websites may also use related technologies, such as local storage, pixels or similar identifiers, to store information on or access information from a device.

In this policy, references to cookies may also include these related technologies where appropriate.

2. Why Sunmaj Uses Cookies

Depending on the services enabled on our website, cookies may be used to:

• Support essential website functions.
• Remember cookie consent preferences.
• Maintain website security and performance.
• Understand how visitors use our content.
• Measure website traffic and engagement.
• Support affiliate referral tracking where applicable.

Not all cookies serve the same purpose, and not all categories are necessarily active on Sunmaj at every time.

3. Types of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies support essential functions, such as security, technical operation and remembering consent preferences.

Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where an applicable legal exemption allows this.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember preferences or support optional features that improve the browsing experience.

Whether consent is required depends on the particular technology, its purpose and applicable law.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help website operators understand visitor activity, such as pages viewed, referral sources and interactions with content.

Sunmaj uses Google Analytics for website measurement.

We intend to configure our consent controls so that analytics technologies requiring consent are not activated before the relevant permission is given.

Advertising and Affiliate Technologies

If Sunmaj uses advertising or affiliate tracking technologies, these may help measure referrals or attribute eligible bookings and purchases.

Their use will depend on the commercial services and partnerships active on the website.

Technologies requiring consent must be subject to appropriate consent controls.

4. CookieYes Consent Management

Sunmaj uses CookieYes as its cookie consent management solution.

CookieYes helps us present information about cookies, collect applicable consent choices and remember those preferences.

Depending on our configuration, CookieYes may maintain records relating to visitor consent.

Visitors can use the cookie consent interface to manage optional categories.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent access to ordinary travel guides and editorial content.

5. Google Analytics

Sunmaj uses Google Analytics to help understand website usage and improve its content.

Google Analytics may process information about visits, page interactions, devices, referral sources and approximate locations.

Depending on its configuration, Google Analytics may use cookies or other identifiers.

We aim to ensure that analytics technologies requiring consent operate only after appropriate consent has been obtained.

More information is available in Google’s Privacy Policy .

6. MailerLite and Newsletter Forms

Sunmaj uses MailerLite to manage newsletter subscriptions and email communications.

Newsletter forms and related features may involve technical technologies necessary for form functionality, security or subscription processing.

Any additional cookies or tracking technologies associated with MailerLite will be assessed and classified according to their actual purpose.

Newsletter subscriptions are separate from cookie consent.

Agreeing to optional cookies does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails.

For information about newsletter data processing, please see our Privacy Policy.

7. Affiliate Links and Third Parties

Some Sunmaj articles may contain affiliate links to third-party travel providers.

Following an affiliate link may take you to a website operated by another organisation.

That provider may use its own cookies or tracking technologies in accordance with its policies.

Where affiliate-related technologies operate directly on Sunmaj, we will assess the relevant consent requirements.

For more information, read our Affiliate Disclosure .

8. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting.

Third-party cookies are set by another organisation through services or content used on the website.

Sunmaj may use both types, depending on the technologies enabled at the time.

9. Cookie Names, Providers and Durations

The exact cookies used on Sunmaj may change when website services, plugins or configurations are updated.

Information about detected cookies, their purposes, providers and durations will be made available through our cookie information and consent controls.

We aim to review this information when significant changes are made to website tracking or functionality.

10. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage optional cookies using the CookieYes consent controls available on Sunmaj.

Where consent has been given, you can withdraw or change it through the available cookie settings interface.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing already carried out on the basis of that consent.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies. Blocking some necessary cookies may affect website functionality.

11. How Long Cookies Remain

Cookies may be temporary or persistent.

Session cookies generally expire when the browsing session ends.

Persistent cookies may remain on a device for a specified period or until they are deleted.

The duration depends on the particular cookie and provider.

Specific durations should be available through the website’s cookie information once the relevant technologies have been identified and reviewed.

12. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website technology, service providers, consent arrangements or legal requirements change.

The revision date will be updated when a revised version is published.
