At Gofay Airways, we strive to enhance your experience during your trip and using this Website. In general, we use cookies to manage the Website and improve your overall site experience. These technologies are either used by us directly, or by our business partners, including third-party service providers and advertisers we work with.

What’s a cookie?

A cookie is a small amount of data that's placed in the browser of your computer or on your mobile device. So-called “first-party cookies” (not as much fun as they sound) are cookies served by the entity operating the domain through which the cookie is served. Gofaytravel.com own cookies are therefore “first-party cookies." In case we allow others to service cookies through the Gofay Airways websites, these cookies are so-called “third-party cookies."

In addition, there's a difference between session cookies and permanent cookies. Session cookies only exist until you close your browser. Permanent cookies have a longer lifespan and aren't automatically deleted when you close your browser. We strive to serve cookies or allow the serving of cookies with a maximum lifespan of 5 years. Only in exceptional circumstances, like for security purposes and where absolutely necessary, will a cookie have a longer lifespan than that.

In addition, other tracking technologies are used which are similar to cookies. These can include web beacons (also known as pixel tags, web bugs, or gifs), tracking URLs, or software development kits (SDKs). A web beacon is a tiny graphic image of just one pixel that can be delivered to your computer as part of a web page request in an app, in an advertisement, or in an HTML email message. Pixels can be used to retrieve info from your device, like your device type or operating system, IP address, and time of visit.

They're also used to serve and read cookies in your browser. Tracking URLs are used to understand from what referring website the Gofaytravel.com websites or apps are used. SDKs are small pieces of code included in apps that function like cookies and web beacons. All these technologies together are referred to in this Cookie Statement as “cookies."
