Cookie Policy

AtoC Korea, LLC ("we," "us," "our") operates the website and booking platform at atockorea.com. This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors and users of our platform, including when you browse our site, create an account, make a booking, or complete a payment. It describes:

• What cookies and similar technologies are
• What cookies we and our service providers use, and why
• How cookies may be used in connection with payment processing and fraud prevention when we use third-party payment providers
• How you can control or delete cookies

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information generally.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us when you use our site) or "third-party" (set by another domain, such as our payment or analytics providers).

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixel tags (web beacons), and scripts that store or access information on your device. For the purposes of this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to cookies and these similar technologies where they are used for similar purposes.

Cookies can be classified by duration (session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them) and by purpose (e.g., strictly necessary, functional, performance, marketing). We describe the purposes and categories we use below.

We use the following categories of cookies on our platform:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and platform. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, session and login state, and access to secure areas. You cannot opt out of these cookies without affecting how the site works; in some jurisdictions they do not require consent because they are strictly necessary.

• Authentication and session: We use cookies (including via our authentication provider) to keep you logged in and to maintain your session securely as you move between pages. Without these, you would need to log in repeatedly.
• Security and fraud prevention: We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies to help detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access. This is critical for protecting both you and us during account access and payment flows.
• Load balancing and routing: Cookies may be used to ensure requests are handled correctly by our infrastructure (e.g., to maintain consistency in a multi-server environment).

3.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your language or locale preference so you do not have to reselect it each time you visit.

• Language/locale preference: We store your chosen language (e.g., English, Korean) so that the site displays in your preferred language on subsequent visits. This improves your experience and does not identify you to third parties for advertising.

3.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies

We may use cookies to understand how visitors use our platform (e.g., which pages are visited, how long users stay) so we can improve performance and fix errors. Where we use third-party analytics, we configure them to minimize identification and to comply with our Privacy Policy. In jurisdictions that require consent for non-essential cookies, we seek consent or rely on a lawful basis before setting these where applicable.

3.4 Marketing Cookies

We do not currently use cookies for targeted advertising or to track you across other websites for marketing purposes. If we introduce such cookies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent before using them.

The following table describes the main first-party cookies we set when you use our platform. Cookie names and durations may change with updates to our technology; this table reflects our current practice.

When we offer card or online payment on our platform, we may use one or more third-party payment service providers. When you use checkout, you may be directed to or interact with that provider's pages or scripts. The payment provider may set and use its own cookies and similar technologies for:

• Payment processing: To complete your transaction securely and to communicate with our server about payment status.
• Fraud prevention and detection: To collect information about the device and browser used to access checkout, to detect and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized transactions, and to comply with payment card industry and regulatory requirements. Blocking these cookies may prevent you from completing a payment.
• Security: To protect your payment data and to ensure the integrity of the checkout session.

We do not control cookies set by payment providers; they are set when you interact with the provider's services. We do not use such cookies for advertising. When we enable a specific payment provider, we will disclose its name and link to its cookie and privacy policies in this section so you can review them before paying.

We may use other third-party services (e.g., hosting, analytics, error monitoring) that set cookies or similar technologies. We choose providers that commit to appropriate security and privacy standards. We do not allow third parties to use cookies on our site for cross-site advertising or to sell your data. Any analytics or performance cookies we use are described in our Privacy Policy and, where required, we obtain consent before activating non-essential cookies.

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for the duration set when they are placed (e.g., from a few days to one year, depending on the purpose). Our locale/language cookie is set for up to one year so your preference is remembered. Authentication and security-related cookies typically last for the duration of your session or as configured by our authentication provider. Cookie durations for any third-party payment provider are set by that provider and described in their cookie policy.

Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically refuse or delete some or all cookies. The "Help" or "Settings" section of your browser usually explains how to do this. Note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from logging in, staying logged in, or using certain features. Blocking or deleting cookies used by our payment provider during checkout may prevent you from completing a payment on our site.

Our site: Where we offer a cookie preference or consent mechanism (e.g., in the website footer or in a banner), you can use it to manage your preferences for non-essential cookies. Essential and payment-related cookies are required for the platform and checkout to function and are not optional.

When we use a specific payment provider, we will link to its cookie and consent settings in this policy so you can manage cookies set by that provider. Disabling a payment provider's cookies may prevent you from completing payments on our site when that provider is used.

Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control: Some browsers or extensions send "Do Not Track" or "Global Privacy Control" signals. We respect such signals where technically and legally feasible; however, essential and payment-related cookies may still be used so that the site and checkout can function.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before using new non-essential cookies. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
