Understanding Our Cookie Policy
At Raphael Travels, your privacy and trust are paramount. Our Cookie Policy is designed to provide transparency about how we collect, store, and utilize data through cookies on our website. By using our services, you acknowledge and agree to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. Whether you’re exploring exotic destinations or looking for a quick weekend getaway, our cookies work silently in the background to make your browsing smooth, secure, and tailored to your preferences.
Why We Use Cookies
Cookies help us offer a seamless and personalized experience to every traveler. From remembering your favorite destinations to simplifying the booking process, cookies make your journey on our platform faster and more intuitive. Whether you’re booking through our Direct Booking model or redirected via our Self-Service Partner Platforms, cookies ensure you enjoy consistent performance and accurate recommendations.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use both session and persistent cookies to fulfill different purposes. Session cookies help maintain your session while browsing, while persistent cookies remember your preferences for future visits. Our cookies can be categorized as essential (for core functionality), analytical (for performance tracking), and marketing (to show you relevant deals). Each category plays a key role in enhancing your Raphael Travels experience.
Your Booking Journey & Cookie Usage
When you choose Direct Bookings on RaphaelTravels.com, all data collected by cookies is fully managed by us to improve support and personalization. If you proceed via Self-Service Bookings to platforms like Expedia or affiliate partners, those platforms may place their own cookies, subject to their privacy policies. In all cases, we aim to ensure your travel planning remains safe, efficient, and enjoyable.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have full control over how cookies are used. Most browsers allow you to manage cookie settings or disable them entirely. However, be aware that blocking certain cookies might impact website functionality, such as retaining your itinerary, accessing member deals, or completing a booking. For a fully optimized experience, we recommend enabling essential and functional cookies.
Partner Platforms & Third-Party Cookies
For Self-Service Bookings, when you’re redirected to trusted platforms like Expedia, Trip Affiliates, or HotelLook, their cookies and policies apply. We collaborate only with reputable partners committed to ethical data handling. While we don’t control their cookie behavior, we ensure that they align with our commitment to transparency and security.
