Types of cookies
​
Based on the characteristics and use of cookies, we can distinguish different categories:
​
- Technical Cookies: these are cookies that are essential for the correct functioning of the site. They are used to guarantee and facilitate normal navigation and use of the site. For example, allowing authentication (login), remembering some selection criteria such as language, remembering discussions read in forums, collecting some information in aggregate form about users. Technical cookies can be temporary (session duration) or persist over time, even for months (permanent). Their deactivation compromises the effective use of some services (preset login, letter discussions, etc.). Among technical cookies we also find analysis and performance cookies, which are used to collect and analyze traffic and use of the site anonymously. These cookies do not identify the user and also allow monitoring the system and improving its performance and usability. The deactivation of these cookies can be performed without any loss of functionality.
The site www.merlinourbansuites.com uses technical cookies installed by our hosting and publishing service provider, Wix.com.
​
- Profiling Cookies: These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously or not) the user's preferences and improve their browsing experience. The website www.merlinourbansuites.com does not use, on its own, profiling cookies.
​
- Third Party Cookies: when visiting a website, you may receive cookies from both the visited site (“owners”) and from sites managed by other organizations (“third parties”). Examples are represented by the presence of “social plugins” for Facebook, X, Google+ and LinkedIn. Other examples are: external statistics services Google Analytics; Google AdSense advertising banners; the Google Search bar; the Google Automatic Translations site translator, etc. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the page of the host site. The most common use of social plugins is aimed at sharing content on social networks. The website www.merlinourbansuites.com provides for the possible use of third-party cookies, useful for managing relationships with individual service providers of international social media systems.

You can avoid certain cookies by configuring your browser settings or directly disabling the party that manages and controls cookies.
