1. What Are Cookies?

• To show you relevant Europa-Park travel tips and offers when you browse the web
• To comply with legal obligations around consent records

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services embedded in our pages. These parties have their own privacy policies and we do not control their cookies directly. Key third parties include:

• Google LLC — analytics, advertising (privacy.google.com)
• Meta Platforms — social sharing and retargeting (facebook.com/privacy)

5. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You have several options to control cookies:

• Cookie banner: adjust your preferences at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the site footer.
• Browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will break core site functionality.

6. Your Consent

When you first visit parks-de, a consent banner asks you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are active regardless of your choice. You may withdraw or change consent at any time — this will not affect any processing carried out before your change. Consent records are stored locally and expire after 12 months, at which point we will ask again.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. Significant changes will be announced via a notice on our homepage.
