This Policy explains how Elite Vacation Homes L.L.C. ("Elite Vacations DXB", "we") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on elitevacationsdxb.com. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device when you visit. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels. We refer to all of these as "cookies" below.
Cookies are set either by us (first-party) or by services embedded on the Site (third-party). They are either session cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent cookies (stored until they expire or you delete them).
2. Why we use cookies
- To make the Site work — language, currency, booking-cart state, login.
- To make it better — anonymised analytics that tell us which pages help guests find their next stay.
- To measure marketing — so we know which adverts actually deliver bookings rather than wasting our (and your) attention.
We do not use cookies to build a profile that's sold to third-party advertisers.

_ttp | TikTok | Conversion attribution for our TikTok Ads. | 13 months |
4. Third-party content we embed
Some sections of the Site embed content from third parties — those services may set their own cookies, governed by their own policies:
| Service | Where it appears | Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | Property and neighbourhood pages, contact page | policies.google.com/technologies/cookies |
| YouTube / Vimeo | Property video tours where applicable | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Stripe | Checkout | stripe.com/cookie-settings |
| Tap Payments | Checkout | tap.company/privacy-policy |
| Click-to-chat buttons | whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy |
5. How to control your cookies
- On the Site — use the cookie banner that appears on your first visit, or open Cookie settings from the footer at any time. Your choice for analytics and marketing categories is saved for 12 months; we'll ask again after that.
- In your browser — every major browser lets you block or delete cookies via its settings. Useful guides:
- On mobile — most operating systems offer "Limit Ad Tracking" (iOS) or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" (Android) settings that further restrict what advertising cookies can do.
Note that blocking strictly-necessary cookies will break parts of the Site — most importantly the checkout flow and admin login.
6. Do Not Track
Our Site honours the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where browsers send it. When GPC is detected we treat your visit as if you had declined the analytics and marketing categories.
7. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The current version, with its Last updated date, always lives at this URL. Material changes will be flagged at the top of this page for at least 14 days.
