Cookies
Cookies are sets of data that a web site transmits to a user's computer, enabling web sites to recognize your computer and to "remember" your entries as you move from page to page, or even when you revisit the site from time to time using the same computer. Cookies are not programs that will corrupt or damage your computer or computer files.

Cookies are not programs that will corrupt or damage your computer or computer files.
Each time you visit our web sites, we use "persistent" cookies that remain on your computer's hard drive after you leave our web sites so we can track how users navigate through the sites and to track any referring web site that may have linked you to a page on our web sites. This tracking allows us to evaluate and improve the functionality of our web sites. In addition, persistent cookies are used to remember you, including the interests and preferences you provide as part of your user profile, and to customize your hyatt.com experience accordingly, should you check the "remember me" box while creating your user profile as detailed below.
When you choose to transact business on our web sites, "session" cookies are used to allow our systems and the systems of our service providers to temporarily remember information you provide while you are in the process of completing the transaction. Your session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser. For example, while you are in the process of making a reservation online, our web sites use session cookies to temporarily remember your travel dates and preferences. As another example, to make your online job application process more convenient, Taleo uses session cookies to temporarily remember the data you input while in the process of applying for a job online.
We contract with third parties to serve ads on our behalf across the Internet and sometimes on this site. They will collect anonymous information about your visits to our Web site, and your interaction with our products and services. They may also use information about your visits to this and other Web sites to target advertisements for goods and services. These targeted advertisements may appear on our site or on other sites that you visit. The anonymous information is collected through the use of a pixel tag, which is industry standard technology used by most major web sites. No personally identifiable information is collected in this process.
If you do not want to accept cookies, you can block them by adjusting the settings on your Internet browser. If you do so, however, you won't be able to benefit from the convenience afforded through the use of cookies and you will not be able to use all of the features of our web sites, including the customization features associated with creating a user profile.
