Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. Similar technologies — such as pixels, tags, and local storage — work in comparable ways. We refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.

2. Types of cookies we use

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to work (e.g. security, page navigation, and remembering your cookie choices). These cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Analytics/performance cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it (e.g. Google Analytics).
• Advertising/targeting cookies — used to measure and improve our advertising and to show relevant ads (e.g. Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing).
• Functional cookies — remember choices you make to give you a better experience.

3. Cookies used on this Site

This list covers the main cookies in use. Exact names and durations set by third parties (such as Google) may change; please refer to those providers’ own documentation for the latest details.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services on our behalf, such as Google (Analytics and Ads). These providers may use the information collected in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. Booking platforms you are redirected to (such as Viator) also set their own cookies, governed by their policies.

5. Your choices and how to manage cookies

When you first visit the Site, our cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time via the banner or the cookie-settings link on the Site.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working. Useful opt-out resources include:

• Google Analytics opt-out: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• Google Ads settings: adssettings.google.com

6. Consent

Where required by law (including in the EEA and UK), we set non-essential cookies only after you give consent. You may withdraw consent at any time, which will not affect processing that already took place.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or applicable laws change. The “Last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
