Summary Privacy & Digital Access Neutral
Booking.com's landing page is a JavaScript-heavy commercial travel platform that implements sophisticated data collection and security infrastructure (AWS WAF, token-based authentication, automatic error reporting) while creating accessibility barriers for users with limited technical capability. The platform enables global cultural participation and travel access but prioritizes commercial security and user tracking over privacy protection and inclusive design.
