Cookie Types We Use
Urban Escapes employs several types of cookies to provide a seamless and informative user experience. Understanding these types can help you manage your preferences more effectively:

For example, when you navigate from page to page, session cookies ensure that you are recognized and your selections are remembered.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a longer period, or until you manually delete them.
