BusinessHotels.com Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy applies to BusinessHotels.com websites and services that link to it. It supplements our Privacy Policy and should be read together with applicable booking terms.
Scope and who we are
BusinessHotels.com is operated by Asian Airfares Group, LLC, based in San Francisco, California. In this Policy, “BusinessHotels.com,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to BusinessHotels.com services operated by Asian Airfares Group, LLC.
This Policy covers cookies and similar technologies used when you visit or interact with a BusinessHotels.com service that links to this page. It does not control cookies used independently by a hotel, airline, travel agency, booking provider, map provider, social platform or other third party after you visit its website or use its independently controlled service.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by a website in a browser or device. They can help recognize a browser, maintain a secure session, preserve a search or referral, remember preferences, understand use, measure performance or support advertising.
First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are placed by the BusinessHotels.com domain you visit. Third-party cookies are placed by another organization whose technology, content or service appears on or supports a page. Browser privacy protections may limit third-party cookies.
Session and persistent cookies
Session cookies generally expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain until their expiration date or until you delete them. Similar browser storage may persist without technically being a cookie.
Similar technologies
For simplicity, this Policy uses “cookies” to include comparable technologies such as:
- local storage and session storage;
- pixels, tags, web beacons and conversion identifiers;
- software development kits used in applications or booking tools;
- device, browser or session identifiers; and
- server-side measurement associated with a browser, search or referral event.
These technologies may process information such as IP address, browser and device type, page interactions, referring URL, approximate location, language, currency, timestamps and pseudonymous identifiers. See our Privacy Policy for information about personal data.
Categories we may use
Security, fraud prevention, consent storage, network management, sessions and services you request. Always active.
Remembers language, currency, destination, display settings and other convenience choices.
Helps measure traffic, navigation, errors and performance so we can improve the service.
Measures campaigns, referral partners and qualifying conversions, and may support personalized advertising where permitted.
Optional technologies are used only as permitted by applicable law and your choices. Available categories may differ by jurisdiction, service or page.
Typical cookie and technology use
Names, providers and durations can change as our services and integrations evolve. This table describes typical purposes and does not mean every technology appears on every page.
| Category | Typical purposes | Example data | Typical duration | Choice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, consent, sessions, bot and fraud protection, requested booking functions | Session ID, consent value, security signals | Session to 12 months, or as required for security | Always active |
| Functional | Remember language, currency, destination and interface choices | Preference selections and local settings | Session to 12 months | Optional |
| Analytics | Measure visits, navigation, performance, errors and aggregated use | Pseudonymous browser ID, pages, events, approximate location | Session to 24 months, depending on provider settings | Optional where required |
| Advertising and affiliate | Attribute referrals, measure campaigns, prevent invalid traffic and report conversions | Campaign, click, referral and conversion identifiers | Session to 13 months, depending on provider and law | Optional where required |
Provider-controlled technologies: A hotel search tool, booking provider, map, video, social feature or advertising provider may use additional cookies. Its own notice governs technologies it independently controls.
Travel, analytics and advertising partners
BusinessHotels.com works with established travel companies, hotel suppliers, booking partners, analytics services, advertising platforms, content-delivery services, security vendors and embedded-tool providers. Depending on the page and your choices, these parties may process identifiers to:
- return live hotel content, rates or availability;
- preserve the context of a search, booking-provider referral or support request;
- measure whether a search, click or campaign led to a provider interaction;
- understand site performance and aggregated use;
- detect invalid traffic, abuse and fraud; or
- deliver or measure advertising where permitted.
Third parties may combine information with data they receive elsewhere when their policies and applicable law allow. We do not control a third party’s independent processing. Review the relevant provider’s privacy and cookie notices before continuing to its service.
Manage your cookie choices
Your selection is saved to this browser. If you clear browser data, use another browser or device, or browse privately, you may need to choose again.
Cookie preference center
Choose optional categories, then save. Strictly necessary technologies remain active.
Security, consent storage, fraud prevention and services you request.
Remembers currency, language, destination and convenience settings.
Measures performance and aggregated use, including Google Analytics where enabled.
Measures campaigns, referrals and qualifying conversions and may support advertising.
The preference center records categories and maintains compatibility with the existing BusinessHotels.com homepage consent value. Every optional tag or embedded tool must also be configured to read and honor the saved choice before it loads. A preference change cannot retroactively remove a third-party cookie that is not accessible to BusinessHotels.com.
Browser and device controls
Most browsers let you review, block or delete cookies through privacy or site-data settings. You may also be able to block third-party cookies, clear local storage, restrict cross-site tracking or manage site permissions. Instructions change over time, so consult your browser’s current help center.
- Google Chrome
- Apple Safari
- Mozilla Firefox
- Microsoft Edge
Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent security checks, saved consent, search continuity or other requested functions from working. Browser settings usually apply only to that browser and device.
Global Privacy Control and advertising opt-outs
Where applicable law requires it, we treat a qualifying Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for targeted advertising for the browser or device sending the signal. Because browser signals do not always identify an account, the effect may be limited to that browser or device.
BusinessHotels.com does not sell personal information for money. Some U.S. privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly enough to include certain disclosures of identifiers or online activity for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
This choice rejects analytics and advertising categories and records an opt-out on this browser.
How long cookies remain
Duration varies by purpose, provider and configuration. Session technologies generally expire when a browser session ends. Persistent technologies remain until their expiration date or until deleted. We select retention periods based on operational need, security, measurement usefulness, consent requirements and applicable law.
The table above provides typical ranges. A provider may use a different period under its own policy. We review settings periodically and seek to avoid retaining identifiers longer than reasonably necessary.
Cookies and personal information
Cookie and device information can be personal information when it identifies, relates to or can reasonably be linked with a person, household or device. Our Privacy Policy explains the categories we collect, purposes, disclosures and rights that may be available in different jurisdictions.
Do not send passport numbers, payment-card details or other sensitive documents when asking a cookie question or making a privacy request.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy when our technologies, providers, laws or practices change. We will post the revised version here and update the date at the top. If a change is material, we will provide additional notice or request renewed consent where required.
When consent categories or purposes materially change, the saved preference version may be reset so you can make a new choice.
