Cookies Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Liinens. This Cookies Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, how those technologies may affect your experience, and the choices you have. We write this for Hong Kong users and follow the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO) . If you have questions, reach us at [email protected].

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser when you visit websites. They help websites remember preferences, measure site performance, and provide a smoother experience. Similar technologies include local storage, pixel tags, and web beacons all tools that can store and read small pieces of information.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to make the website easier and faster to use, to understand how people use the site, and to show content that’s relevant. Cookies let us remember language choice, keep you logged in during a session, and track basic usage patterns to improve navigation and functionality.

Types Of Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies: Required for the site to operate. These enable core functions like secure login and keeping items in a booking or checkout flow. Disabling these may stop parts of the site from working.
• Performance and analytics cookies: Help us understand how people use the site which pages are visited, how long users stay, and where errors happen. We use this information to improve features and fix problems. These cookies do not typically identify you personally unless combined with other data.
• Functional cookies: Remember choices you make (for example, preferred language or region) so the site behaves in a way that suits you.
• Advertising and marketing cookies: Used to show relevant content or offers on our site and on third-party sites. These may be set by our partners and may collect data about your browsing over time.

Third-party Cookies

Some cookies are set by services we use, such as analytics or advertising partners. These third parties may use cookies to provide their services and to collect information about your web activities across sites. We do not control those third-party cookies directly; their use is subject to their own policies.

How Cookies Relate to Personal Data and PDPO

Under the PDPO, personal data means information relating to an identifiable person. Cookies by themselves may not identify you, but if cookie data is linked with personal data, it becomes subject to PDPO rules. We handle any linked personal data according to PDPO principles: we collect only what is necessary, use it for stated purposes, keep it secure, and allow access and correction where appropriate.

Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies

Majority of browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. You can usually find these settings in your browser’s “options,” “preferences,” or “settings” menu. You can also choose to block third-party cookies specifically. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the website’s functionality and affect the experience, such as booking speed or saved preferences.

If you want to opt out of targeted advertising, you can use tools provided by advertising networks or visit industry preference pages. For analytics opt-out, some providers offer browser add-ons or preference links on their platforms.

Retention And Storage

Cookies have different lifespans. Some expire at the end of a browsing session; others remain until a set expiry date. We retain data gathered via cookies only as long as needed for the stated purpose and in line with PDPO obligations about retention and security.

Security And Safe Handling

We take reasonable steps to protect data obtained through cookies. While cookies themselves are not an effective channel for transmitting highly sensitive data, we combine technical measures and policies to reduce risk and to keep information secure.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. Significant changes will be posted on the site with the revised policy. Please revisit this page occasionally to stay informed.

If you have questions about cookies, how we use them, or how we handle personal data under PDPO, contact us at [email protected] . You can also ask about access, correction, or other rights related to personal data we hold.

Thank you for reviewing our approach to cookies. We aim to keep website interactions clear, practical, and respectful of your privacy while providing a reliable, user-friendly service across Hong Kong.
