Your information may also be provided to us by a friend/family member who is booking on your behalf.
Sharing your information
Making an Enquiry or Booking a Trip
In order to handle your enquiry, fulfil your product or service request or manage your booking, we may share your personal information with the following:
• any member of ITINERO and our internal contractors and staff, including local group leaders;
• our related overseas entities and Destination Management Companies
• travel providers (e.g. Airlines, tour companies);
• other third-party operators (i.e. local operators, couriers, mailing houses, payment processors, etc.);
• other suppliers and service providers (e.g. hotels, transfer drivers, etc.); and
• in some cases, Government authorities (e.g. for border crossings, visa requirements.)
For clarity, for example, if you book flights through ITINERO, or your trip includes a flight, the relevant personal information will be provided to the applicable airline. Similarly, if your trip is operated by a non-ITINERO affiliated tour company, your personal information will be provided to that company for them to confirm you on the trip and provide the relevant services. We also share your personal information with any travel providers or third-party local operators for the purpose of improving services and experiences, and to investigate complaints and/or disputes, where necessary.
You should famillarise yourself with the privacy policies of all travel providers and tour operators you select to provide a trip or travel-related services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party travel providers and tour operators with whom you may choose to book travel product and services.

What Are Cookies?
ITINERO's websites, online services, email messages and advertisements may use Cookies and other technologies such as pixel tags.
Cookies are small text files placed on your browser (when using your computer, tablet or other device) by us or our partners. Cookies allow the browser to identify the device you're using to access our websites and to remember some specific information which the web server can later retrieve and use. This information is sent back to our systems as you move around our website. When you quit your browser, some cookies are stored in your computer's memory, while some expire or disappear.
Cookies are unique to the web browser or device you're using – so if you're using a desktop computer as well as a mobile, different data will be collected for each device.
There are different types of cookies. Whether a cookie is 'first' or 'third' party refers to the domain placing the cookie. Cookies set by the owner of the website you're visiting at the time (e.g., cookies placed by our Intrepid Group website domain) are known as first party Cookies. There are also third party Cookies that can be set by a third party domain other than that of the website you are on e.g. if our partner or other entity sets a cookie. Only the domain owner (or owner of the cookie) can see the information it collects.
Certain (first party and/or third party) cookies remain on your device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that you visit the website that created that particular cookie. These are called persistent cookies.
There are also other cookies which allow website operators to link your actions during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. These are known as session cookies. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
