Introduction
Like many online services, we or an authorised third party may send cookies to your device or use other technologies (such as web beacons) to understand and enhance your experience of our website: https://www.thecitytales.com and its subdomains.
We want you to be informed about our use of cookies and other technologies, so this cookie policy explains the types of technologies we use, what they do, and your choices regarding their use. This cookie policy relates to cookies or other technologies placed via the website only.
When we refer to “we”, “us” and “our” we mean City Tales Limited and all companies which are for the time being either a holding company, subsidiary, or affiliate.
Please see our privacy policy which explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of personal data.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for users, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).
We may also use pixels or “web beacons” that monitor your use of our website. Web beacons are small strings of code that provide a method for delivering a graphic image on a webpage for the purpose of transferring data. For example, the URL of the page on which the web beacon appears or the type of browser that fetched the web beacon. Web beacons are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way as cookies. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

Necessary cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function and to meet our user’s needs. Some examples of how we use these cookies are: (a) collecting information on which content users go to most often so we can improve our online services; and (b) other basic functions like page navigation.

Our preference cookies collect anonymous information and we do not share information collected using our preference cookies with advertisers or third parties. We do not collect information on your browsing behaviour on websites which we do not operate. Deleting these types of cookies may result in limited functionality of our service, any preferences or settings you selected will not be retained for later visits. Y
