Our Cookie Policy

Next Story Group is a hospitality group operated by NSG Hospitality Holdings Pte. Ltd. ("NSG").
Next Story Group is committed to being transparent in how we collect and handle your personal information.  We know this is important to you.
In making our websites and app user-friendly, informative and personal, we use cookies and similar technologies to achieve this goal.
Please be aware that certain essential cookies must be enabled for you to navigate our website and for us to process your reservations.  If you accept our cookies, you can always choose to delete the cookies stored on your device at any time in the future.  To see how we handle your personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

So, what is a Cookie?

When you visit a website or use an app, it’s a small text file that’s sent to you and stored on your device.  This could be your computer, smartphone, tablet or other devices.
Cookies help us understand if you’ve visited our website or accessed our app before and, if so, optimises your user experience.

How do we use cookies and similar technologies?

The information collected allows us to understand visitors to our website or app and helps us provide a better experience.  For example, if you’ve previously looked at a particular hotel, we can store this information in a cookie and may provide details of special offers and rates for that hotel on subsequent visits.  Cookies and similar technologies can also record your selected preferences (such as your choice of currency) which we then use to tailor the website or app and the booking process for you.

What do we use cookies and similar technologies for?

We use cookies and similar technologies to:
  • support the functioning of the website and app (including a secure service for online transactions);
  • enhance your experience on the website and app by remembering your preferences (including preferred language, country of residence, and recent searches);
  • track how users use the website and app, and interact with our advertisements (including our advertisements on third-party websites);
  • understand how the website and app are functioning, and inform improvements to the website, app and our services; and
  • gather data that helps us deliver advertising content relevant to your interests.

It is important for you to know

Cookies alone cannot be used to determine the personal identity of anyone visiting our website or accessing our app.  However, we may, in some cases, match data gathered from cookies and similar technologies with information that you have provided about yourself, or that we have collected about you for the purposes explained in our Privacy Policy.  Where information collected through our use of cookies and similar technologies constitutes personal information, the data protection policies set out in our Privacy Policy will apply to that information.

What types of cookies and similar technologies do we use?

  • Essential cookies. Essential for you to navigate the website, access the app, and use our online services and features, as well as for us to enhance the performance of the website.
  • Functional cookies. Used to enhance your user experience of the website and app.  For example, functional cookies may be used to remember your settings on the website and app (including booking information you have previously used when making a reservation with us) to help you save time on future visits.
  • Other similar technologies. We also use web tracking (such as pixel tags) and analytics tools on the website, app and third-party websites to generate detailed statistics about traffic to the website, the source of that traffic and how you interact with advertisements on the website, app and third-party websites.
The cookies mentioned above may operate as session cookies or persistent cookies.  Session cookies are temporary and allow us to link your actions during a browser session.  These are deleted from your computer or device as soon as you close the browser.  Persistent cookies remain on your computer or device for a fixed period or until you delete them.  These help us identify you as a unique user (by storing a randomly generated number) across your visits to the website.
We sometimes allow our trusted partners to use cookies or similar technologies on the website and app (also known as third party cookies that are set by a third-party website or app) for the purposes of analytics and targeted online advertising.  Our trusted partners use cookies and similar technologies to collect data and allow them to recognize your computer or device when you visit their website or app.  The data they collect is kept separate from the personal information that we collect.  We do not access or control our trusted partner’s cookies. It is our trusted partner’s privacy and cookie policies that apply to their use of these cookies and technologies.
Other than these, we also use pixel tags in marketing emails from Next Hotels and Resorts and/or a property within our Next Hotels and Resorts portfolio of brands.  These are tiny images embedded in the email that allow us to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns by tracking, for example, how many times the email is opened by its recipients.
