Cookie Policy

This cookie policy (“Cookie Policy”) is an integral part of the GTC and Privacy Policy. All capitalised terms used in this Cookie Policy which are not specifically defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the GTC and Privacy Policy. This Cookie Policy informs Downtown’s Users, Website and App. visitors, about how Downtown’s Website and App. Use cookies and similar technologies.

What are cookies?

Cookies created in a web environment or app are small text files that are stored on your device. This enables the website or app to remember specific entries and settings (for example, a User’s login, language, usage, preferences and statistics) over a certain period of time. That way, Users don’t have to re-enter them when browsing around the website during the same visit.

First party cookies are cookies set by Downtown’s Website and, therefore, only Downtown’s Website can read them. In addition, any given website might potentially use external services which also set their own cookies. These are known as third-party cookies. Persistent cookies are cookies saved on a User’s computer that are not deleted automatically when User quits its browser, unlike a session cookie which is deleted when User quits its browser.

What kinds of cookies may Downtown’s Website use?

Downtown may use cookies to optimise its Services. It may, in particular, use the following cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies: these are cookies that are required for the execution and operation of the Services. They include, for example, cookies that enable Users to log into secure areas of the Website or App. Functional cookies: these cookies record information about choices Users make relating to the Services, such as usernames, language or the region Users are in. Performance cookies: these “analytical” cookies allow to collect information about how Users use the Website and App. These cookies do not collect information that identifies Users. All information is anonymous. In order to continuously improve and optimise Downtown provision of Services, Downtown may use the Google Analytics™ tracking technology. Google Analytics™ is a service of Google LLC ("Google"). Google Analytics™ is a web-analysis service allowing Downtown to better understand Users use of the Website and App. It may use a certain type of cookies to collect anonymous information and create activity reports regarding usage statistics of the Website and App. without Users being personally identified. Users can install an add-on module on their web browser, which allows you to deactivate Google Analytics™. Social media cookies: these cookies allow Users to share content with social media platforms (e.g. Instagram™ or X™ buttons). This method may authorise the specific social media to monitor Users navigation on the Website and App. by the mere fact that a User’s account is activated on its device (open session) during its navigation. Downtown has no control over these cookies as they are set by third-party providers.

How can Users control the cookies that Downtown uses?

Users can disable the use of cookies at any time by deleting the cookies placed on their device. Alternatively, most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. The technical instructions within the browser settings include information such as how to delete or deactivate cookies. If a browser is set to block all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies), Users may not be able to access the Website, App. or parts of the Services.

Changes to the Cookie Policy

Downtown may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any such changes will become binding on User’s first use of the Website or App. after the changes have been made. Users are therefore advised to check this page from time to time.
