Cookies and other Web technologies
When you visit EscapesInternational.com we collect information about your computer and assign you a "cookie" (a small, unique identifier text file). You do not provide this information-it is collected automatically as a means of supporting your visit to our site. This cookie does not contain any PII. You can always choose to not receive a cookie file by enabling your Web browser to refuse cookies or prompt you before accepting a cookie.

No PII is collected during this process. The information is anonymous and does not link online actions to an identifiable person.
