Cookie policy

We hereby inform you that this website  available at www.sobluehotel.com   (the "Website") is owned by Parques Reunidos Servicios Centrales, S.A., which authorises SAS MARINELAND RESORT, which operates the SO BLUE HOTEL, to use it (both companies hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Data Controllers" or the "Publishers").

This Website uses proprietary and third party cookies and similar technologies (HTTP cookies, web beacons and local storage) that store and retrieve information about users as they navigate the Website for the purposes set out in the section "Cookies and similar technologies used on the Website".

In accordance with the principle of proactive responsibility, we inform you that no personal data is collected or transferred through this Website without first providing the required legal information and obtaining your express consent where necessary.

Below you will find generic information on cookies (different types of cookies and applicable terms and conditions) as well as detailed information on the cookies and similar technologies actually deposited during your visit to the Website (see section Detailed information on cookies and similar technologies ’).

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies and other similar technologies (flash cookies, web beacons, bugs, etc.) are small files created by websites and downloaded to devices (computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc.) or browsers to store and retrieve certain information about the user (e.g. browsing habits or information about your devices and browsers) and its use of the websites.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES?

Below we list some types of cookies according to various classification criteria:

Depending on the entity that manages the equipment or domain from which the cookies are sent and that processes the information obtained:

  • Proprietary cookies or internal cookies : these are cookies that are sent to your device or browser from a computer or domain managed by the publishers of a website or application and from which the service requested by the user is provided. Here, proprietary cookies are those deposited by the Website Publishers.
  • Third-party cookies: these are cookies that are sent to your device or browser from a computer or domain that is not managed by the owner or publisher of a website or application, but by a third party that processes the information obtained through these cookies or similar technologies.

If cookies are sent from a computer or domain managed by the publishers of the website or application, but the information collected through these cookies is managed by a third party, cookies of this type will be considered as third-party cookies as long as they are used by the third party for its own purposes (e.g. to improve the services it provides or to provide advertising services for another entity).

Depending on how long the cookies remain active in the users' devices and browsers:

  • Session cookies:  Session cookies are generally used to store information that only needs to be retained to provide you with a one-time service and disappears when the session expires (for example, when the browser is closed and the visit ends).
  • Persistent cookies: these are cookies that are used to store information on the user's device or browser even after the session has ended, allowing this information to be accessed and processed at a later time defined by the party responsible for the cookie. This period can range from a few minutes to 6 months, unless these cookies are manually deleted by the user. At the end of the 6-month period, the user will be asked to provide renewed consent to the storage of persistent cookies. If the user refuses, the retention period of persistent cookies will not be extended.

Depending on their purpose, cookies may be...

·        Strictly necessary cookies (or technical and necessary cookies) : these cookies allow you to navigate through an application or website and to use the various options or services available. These cookies also allow the management and operation of the website or application, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, managing payments, controlling fraud associated with the security of the service, using security features during navigation. Also included in this category are the cookies that allow us to better manage advertising spaces. These advertising spaces, which are another design or "layout" feature of the service offered to you, are included on a website or application based on a certain number of criteria, including the editorial content. However, please note that no user information is collected for other purposes, including personalisation of advertising or other content. - In general, these cookies are not subject to user consent.

 

·        Performance cookies (analysis or quantification) : these are cookies that track and measure your behaviour when visiting a website or application, including quantifying the impact of advertising. The information collected by this type of cookie is used to measure website or application activity, with a view to making improvements based on analysis of usage data. These cookies may not be subject to user consent, provided certain criteria are met.

 

·        Functionality cookies (preference or personalisation): These are cookies that recall information so that, when you access a given website or application, your experience is unique and different from that of other users: language, number of search results to be displayed when you carry out a search, appearance or content of a website or application according to your type of browser, your region, etc. These cookies are generally not subject to the user's consent. These cookies are generally not subject to user consent.

  • Behavioural advertising cookies: these are cookies that store information about your behaviour, obtained by continuously monitoring your browsing habits. The purpose of these cookies is to manage and display advertising space efficiently, allowing specific profiles to be created that ensure relevant ads are displayed. These cookies are subject to the user's consent.
  • Social Media cookies: The Websites or Applications may contain features of third party websites (e.g. social media) that incorporate scripts or other features that have the ability to read, and sometimes store, cookies and similar technologies on your browser or device (typically for behavioural advertising purposes). Publishers of websites or applications that include features incorporating social media cookies or similar technologies have no access to or control over these or the information that third parties may collect and also manage their own purposes and privacy practices.

USE OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Data Controllers

The Data Controllers are:

1.       SAS MARINELAND RESORT, the company which operates the SO BLUE HOTEL (hereinafter the "Hotel"), whose registered office is located at 2 route de la Brague, 06600 Antibes, FRANCE.

2.       Parques Reunidos Servicios Centrales, S.A., a company with registered offices at C/Federico Mompou, 5, Parque Empresarial "Las Tablas", Edificio 1 - 3ª floor, 28050, Madrid, SPAIN, which manages the Hotel’s central systems.

Both companies act individually as Data Controllers and together as joint controllers of the data (the "Data Controllers" or the "Publishers"), which means that they have contracted and are jointly responsible for the processing of information collected through cookies and similar technologies embedded in this Website (except for third-party cookies, which are the responsibility of third parties other than the Data Controllers). 

If you have any questions about the processing of your personal data or would like to request a copy of key sections of the agreement between the Joint Data Controllers, please write to the Data Protection Officer (DPO) at privacy@sobluehotel.com or SO BLUE HOTEL– DPD – 2 route de la Brague – 06600 Antibes.

Purposes and legal basis for processing.

The purposes of processing are described in the "Detailed information on cookies and similar technologies" section. Except for strictly necessary cookies (see necessary technical cookies) which are exempt from consent, the legal basis for processing other cookies is your express and informed consent, which you can manage and withdraw at any time as described in the "How to change your cookie settings or withdraw your consent to the installation of cookies and similar technologies" section.

Recipients

The Data Controllers may share the information collected with the following people:

  • Where necessary, with all relevant authorities and bodies, including law enforcement agencies, courts and public prosecutors, in order to comply with any legal obligations applicable to the Data Controllers under European Union and/or national laws.
  • Service providers acting on behalf of and for the Data Controllers as processors, following their instructions at all times. These providers may, for example, offer analysis and measurement services, advertising customisation, technical services for the operation of the Website, services allowing users to manage their consent, etc.
  • Third parties that install cookies or similar technologies from their own domains or from the Data Controllers' domains, where these third parties manage the purposes of said cookies and/or similar technologies and the information they secure. These third parties may include the owners of major social networks (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc).
  • If you consent to the use of behavioural advertising cookies, the information collected (anonymised IP, device or browser data) will be processed in the European Economic Area (EEA) by Salesforce, our cloud-based marketing platform operator. Exceptionally, such as in a disaster recovery situation (i.e. the process of recovering lost data and functionality in the event of an accidental or man-made disaster), Salesforce may also process such information outside the EEA (international data transfer), including in countries that do not provide a level of protection commensurate with the level of protection afforded by European data protection legislation. In such situations, the Data Controllers have entered into binding contractual arrangements with Salesforce that ensure the implementation of appropriate security measures to ensure that your personal data is at all times processed with an adequate level of protection comparable to that required in the EEA (standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, additional security measures in accordance with the European Court of Justice decision C-311/18 and subject to certification mechanisms). In addition, transfers to the United States, which is considered to be a country providing an adequate level of protection for personal data since a decision by the European Commission on 10 July 2023, may also take place. In particular, Salesforce has undertaken to comply with the new data protection framework resulting from this decision, and as such is included on the list of companies managed by the US Department of Commerce. Transfers of personal data from the European Union to organisations on this list can therefore take place freely, without any specific framework in the form of ‘standard contractual clauses’ or any other transfer instrument. For further information, please contact the Data Protection Officer (DPO) at one of the addresses (postal or email) listed in the "Rights" section of this Cookie Policy. Remember that you can refuse the installation of cookies or change your cookie settings. For more information, please see the "How to change your cookie settings or withdraw your consent to the installation of cookies and similar technologies" section.
