What are cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels and scripts that can store or read information on your device. Together, we refer to these as “cookies” unless we specify otherwise.
Cookies may be first-party (set by us) or third-party (set by another domain, e.g. a map or security provider). They may be session cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent (stored until they expire or you delete them).
Legal basis
- Strictly necessary cookies are used to provide a service you explicitly request (e.g. load balancing, security, remembering cookie preferences). They are typically processed on the basis of legitimate interests or contractual necessity, depending on context, and ePrivacy rules that exempt strictly necessary storage.
- Non-essential cookies (e.g. analytics or marketing where used) require your consent under ePrivacy, unless a specific exemption applies. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
For personal data processed via cookies, our Privacy Policy applies in addition to this document.
Categories of cookies
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for core functions such as security, network management, accessibility of the site and (where applicable) remembering your cookie choices.
- Functional / preferences: remember choices such as language or region where we implement them via cookies.
- Analytics cookies: with your consent, Google Analytics 4 helps us understand visits and interactions so we can improve content, booking flows and performance.
- Advertising cookies: with your consent, Google Ads conversion measurement helps us understand whether an advertisement led to a useful website action and supports campaign reporting.
Cookie and technology overview
The exact names and lifetimes may vary by page version and provider updates. Below is a representative overview:
- Session / security (strictly necessary): cookies or headers used by our hosting or application to maintain secure delivery of pages; typical duration: session or short-lived.
- Cookie preference storage (strictly necessary): stores whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics and advertising technologies. The preference remains in browser storage until you change it through “Manage cookie preferences” or clear site data.
- Maps (third-party): pages with embedded maps (e.g. Google Maps when an API key is configured, or Leaflet with map tiles from providers such as CARTO / OpenStreetMap data) may set cookies or process data according to those providers’ policies. See provider documentation for names and durations.
- Google reCAPTCHA (optional, third-party): where enabled on forms, Google may use cookies or comparable storage to assess abuse risk. See Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms.
- Google Analytics 4 (optional): property G-NTKJBL7C6C loads only after consent. It may process page views, interactions, approximate location, device/browser information and related identifiers, and may set or read analytics cookies.
- Google Ads conversion measurement (optional): tag AW-18253993308 loads only after consent. It may process visits and conversion events, advertising or device identifiers and referring campaign information, and may set or read advertising cookies.
For the most current list of cookies on a given page, you can also use your browser’s developer tools or a reputable cookie-inspection extension.
Third-party services
Third parties that may set or read data when you use our site include:
- Google (Analytics 4 and Google Ads after consent; Maps and reCAPTCHA where enabled)—processing may occur in the US and other countries under Google’s terms and applicable GDPR transfer mechanisms. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Map tile / routing providers (e.g. CARTO, OSM-based services, OSRM routing endpoints) for route previews and distance tools.
- Hosting and CDN providers that deliver static assets.
Each provider has its own privacy notice; we encourage you to read them.
Local storage and other storage
We use browser storage to remember your cookie preference and may use local or session storage for site functionality such as form drafts or interface state. Your preference remains available until you change it or clear the site’s browser data. Such storage is subject to the same legal framework as cookies when it stores or accesses information on your device.
How to manage cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings:
- Block or delete third-party cookies.
- Block all cookies (may break parts of the site).
- Set the browser to delete cookies when you close the window.
Common help pages: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
The cookie banner lets you accept or reject optional analytics and advertising technologies. You can revisit that decision at any time; a new choice applies to future loading of optional tags on this site.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no uniform industry standard; we do not currently respond to DNT signals in a specific automated way, but you can use browser settings and this policy to limit tracking.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when we change technologies, partners or legal requirements. The latest version will appear on this page with the updated effective date. Material changes may be highlighted on the website.
