Cookie Policy
Last updated: 20 September 2026
This page lists every cookie and third-party service this website actually uses. It is not a generic template.
Your choice
When you first open the site, a consent banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Until you accept, analytics cookies are not set — we run Google Consent Mode v2 with analytics_storage set to denied by default. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the banner, or by clearing this site’s cookies in your browser.
Strictly necessary
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Life |
|---|---|---|---|
cookieyes-consent (and related cky_* entries) | CookieYes | Remembers the consent choice you made in the banner, so you are not asked again on every page. | Up to 1 year |
These are required for the site to respect your choice, so they are set regardless of consent.
Analytics — only after you accept
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Life |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes one browser from another so visits can be counted. | 2 years |
_ga_<container id> | Google Analytics 4 | Keeps the session state for the same purpose. | 2 years |
Google Analytics is loaded through Google Tag Manager. We use it to count page views and to see which buttons (for example “WhatsApp us” or a trip request) are used, so we know which pages are worth improving. We do not use it for advertising, we have no advertising cookies on this site, and we do not run remarketing.
Third-party services that load on this site
These do not all set cookies, but they are served from other companies’ servers, which means those companies receive your IP address and basic browser information when a page loads.

Local storage
The site may keep small items in your browser’s local storage — for example your language choice and the state of the trip planner — so the page still works when you move between pages. This stays in your browser and is not sent to us. Clearing your browser data removes it.
Turning cookies off in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Blocking all cookies will not break this site, but the consent banner may reappear on each visit.
