Cookie Policy

This cookie policy governs the use of digital tracking technologies and external media embedding across Reservaline.com and our digital publications, including the DISCOVERY EDITION TV magazine and journal. It supplements the main Privacy Policy of Reservaline Limited (registered in the UK under company number 15899390 at Companies House and with the ICO under registration number ZB796619).

1. Cookie Banner Specifications

When you first visit our digital platforms, a clear and accessible consent banner appears to let you manage your tracking preferences:

  • Prior Consent Principle: No non-essential cookies (such as targeted advertising, detailed audience analytics, or social media trackers) are placed on your device without your explicit, affirmative action (clicking “Accept All” or configuring your preferences via our center).
  • Strictly Necessary Cookies (Exempt from Consent): These are essential for the technical operation of the platform, including session management, storing your consent choices, load balancing, and form security. Refusing these completely may affect your navigation or access to core booking features.
  • Granular Choices: Our preference center allows you to accept or decline cookies by specific purpose (analytics, personalization, media integration). Your preferences are saved for a maximum duration of 6 months, after which you will be prompted to renew or update your choices.
  • Audit Trail & Proof: Collected consent logs are stored securely and anonymously to fulfill regulatory compliance standards required by data protection authorities, such as the UK ICO and European regulators.

2. Third-Party Media Embedding Rules

To enhance our reports, stream our thematic TV broadcasts, and enrich DISCOVERY EDITION content (coordinated by our editorial team under management and journalists like Lumina Wang), we embed external media hosted by third-party platforms:

  • Conditional Activation (No-Click-To-Load): By default, multimedia blocks, video players, and iFrames from external providers are masked behind a placeholder screen. No data (such as your IP address or browser fingerprint) is transmitted to the third-party server until you explicitly click to activate or view the media.
  • Third-Party Responsibility: Once you activate a third-party media element, the external provider acts as an independent data controller for any information collected via their own trackers. We advise you to review the privacy policies of those specific providers for more details on their data practices.
  • Secure Streaming Standards: All embedded scripts follow strict security guidelines, including encrypted HTTPS protocols and Content Security Policies (CSP), to prevent malicious code injection or unauthorized cross-site tracking.

3. Modifying Your Preferences

You can modify your cookie settings or revoke your consent at any time by clicking the cookie preference link located in the website footer of Reservaline.com. For further inquiries regarding these tracking protocols, you can contact our privacy team at privacy@reservaline.com.

4. Sponsored Ads via our Internal Ad Network (Private Advertisers)

Our platform, Reservaline Ltd, utilizes an exclusive internal advertising network to display sponsored advertisements from private partner advertisers.

  • Absence of Third-Party Trackers: This advertising content is managed directly through our own technical infrastructure. No scripts, tracking pixels, or cookies belonging to third-party advertising networks are deployed on your device for these internal ads.
  • Privacy Compliance (UK GDPR / GDPR): Data related to the display of these advertisements is never shared, sold, or cross-referenced with external platforms. Private advertisers are strictly barred from accessing your personal data or browsing history.
  • Cookie Classification: The technical identifiers used to deliver these internal ads are strictly limited to technical display management (such as frequency capping to prevent the same ad from repeating, or global aggregate analytics). Consequently, they are exempt from the blocking mechanisms applied to global commercial advertising networks.

5. Sponsored Ads via Third-Party Networks (Google, Social Media)

Concurrently, our website may display advertisements provided by automated external networks, including Google Ads and various social media platforms.

  • Strict Requirement for Consent: These third-party networks deploy advanced behavioral targeting cookies and tracking pixels to customize advertisements based on your broader internet browsing habits.
  • Default Blocking Mechanism: In accordance with the European GDPR and British legislation (UK GDPR / Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations – PECR), these third-party scripts are strictly blocked by default.
  • Activation: They will only activate and process your data if you grant explicit, affirmative consent through our cookie consent banner. You retain the right to modify your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time via our cookie management tool.
