About Our Cookies
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You can customize which cookies you allow us to use. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the website to function.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Red Sea Quest) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website and tailor our offerings. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described below:
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

4. How Can You Control Cookies?
4.1 Browser and Device Controls
Most web browsers allow some control of cookies through the browser settings. You can usually set your browser to reject all cookies or just third-party cookies. You can also delete cookies already stored on your computer. However, if you do this, you may lose some functionality of our website.
To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
4.2 Our Cookie Management Tool
When you first visit our website, we will ask you for your consent to use non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking on the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website or by using the "Manage Cookie Preferences" button at the top of this page.
4.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals.
5. What about Other Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
6. Cookies Served Through Our Website

- Google Analytics - to help us analyze how visitors use our website
- Facebook Pixel - to track conversions from Facebook advertisements

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy
