Why this cookie matters

This cookie is commonly used by amazon-web-services , amazon-application-load-balancer , ascott-star-rewards for preferences purposes – such as tracking usage behaviour, optimising experience, or enabling marketing functionality.

Because it's categorised as preferences, many jurisdictions require that users give explicit consent before it can be activated. If blocked or denied by the visitor, preference-related features (like remembering language or layout choices) may not function properly.
