More Information about Cookies

Inspirata’s goal is to provide a digital experience that is always as intuitive, fast, relevant and as informative as possible. To support in this endeavor, we deploy tracking technologies in the form of both cookies and web beacons/action tags. This Cookie Notice is designed to provide transparency into the types of technologies we use, together with the reasons why we use them with view to ensure that you are comfortable with the controls you have to protect your privacy.

More Information about Cookies

A cookie is a piece of script that is placed automatically on your computer’s hard drive when you access certain websites that, in serving to identify your unique browser, provide a means to personalize and accelerate the speed of your onsite experience. Web beacons represent script written into the underlying code of the website and are designed to help inform the owner about site performance by recording the instances in which a given action is being undertaken by web visitors, e.g., it might record that you clicked on a video, filled out a form, entered the site via a certain page and left by another, etc.
While there are nuances in how they both work, with cookies and web beacons representing terms frequently used interchangeably, for the purposes of simplification we will refer to both technologies as “cookies” from this point forward.

Why are cookies used?

Cookies assist in different ways, but are typically categorized in the following ways based on the role they fulfill and the value they provide:

• Required Cookies – Used to ensure that the website functions properly. These would be used to ensure any preferences you have expressed in engaging with our site are properly recorded for your next visit.
• Analytics Cookies – Used to measure and analyze digital channel usage by visitors at an aggregate level so as to provide a basis for improving performance.
• Advertising Cookies – Used to enable online advertising, allowing Inspirata to potentially serve adverts when you leave Inspirata.com associated with an explicit or implicit interest you have expressed during your visit(s).
