The purpose of this policy is to provide you with clear and transparent information on the use of cookies on the site accessible at https://www.hotel-bb.com (hereinafter the "Site").

2. What is a cookie?
Cookies are small files stored by a server on a user's terminal (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) and associated with a web domain (i.e. all the pages on a single website). These files are automatically sent back when the user contacts the same domain again.
There are several types of cookies:
- session cookies, which disappear as soon as you leave the Site ;
- permanent cookies, which remain on your terminal equipment until they expire or until you delete them using your browser's functions;
- internal cookies set by companies in the B&B HOTELS Group ;
- third-party cookies, which are cookies placed on the Site by a third party that enable them to see which pages have been visited on the Site by a user and to collect information about that user.
The companies in the B&B HOTELS Group also use invisible pixels. These tracers take the form of tiny graphic images and may be placed on the Site. Their function is to collect technical information (via your IP address or the type of device you are using) and information on your activity (for example, the date and time you consulted a page or an e-mail).
3. What cookies and other tracking devices are used on the Site?

C. Details on the use of social plug-ins
The Site uses social plug-ins from the Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Linkedin and Youtube social networks. These social plug-ins can be recognised by their respective logos and allow you to access our pages directly on these networks.
In order to protect users' data as much as possible when they use the Site, we have integrated these plug-ins in such a way that the connection to the social network operator is only established when the user activates the plug-in by clicking on the corresponding icon. When the connection is established by activating the plug-in, we have no influence on the extent of the data collected by Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Linkedin and Youtube.
To the best of our knowledge, thanks to interaction with one of the social plug-ins, the operator of the social network concerned receives information about the web page of the site that the user has visited. If, at the same time, the user is connected to a social network, the operator of this social network may also associate the corresponding visits with the user's social network account. Even if the user is not a member of one of the aforementioned social networks, it is possible that the operators of these social networks may retrieve and, where applicable, record the user's IP address via the plug-in when the user clicks on it.
For further details on the scope and purpose of the processing, collection and use of data by Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Linkedin and Youtube, as well as users' rights in this respect and configuration options, we invite users to consult their respective privacy policies (see point 5 below).
If the user is a client of one of the social networks mentioned, but does not want one of the networks to be able to collect their data from the list and link it to their user account, they must disconnect from the social network concerned before clicking on a plug-in.
