Cookie policy
Which cookies this site sets, which are optional, and how to change your mind.
Last updated 18 August 2026.
What cookies are
Small files a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work. Others are optional, and on this site they are only set if you accept them.
Your choice is all or nothing
Our cookie banner offers one decision: accept optional cookies, or decline them. There is no per-category selection. We would rather say that plainly than present a set of switches that do not exist.
If you decline, only the strictly necessary cookies below are used. Analytics runs without cookies and without identifying you, so we still see roughly how many people read a page, but nothing that can be traced back to a person.
If you accept, analytics cookies are set as described below.
What this site uses
Necessary – always active. A cookie remembering your cookie choice, so you are not asked on every page, and a caching cookie the server uses to deliver pages faster. These cannot be switched off without breaking the site.
Analytics – only if you accept. Google Analytics 4, used for aggregate statistics about which pages are read and how people arrive. IP addresses are anonymised. If you decline, Google Consent Mode keeps analytics storage switched off and no analytics cookie is written.
Affiliate – set by the partner, not by us. When you click through to a booking partner you leave this site, and that partner may set a cookie so a booking can be attributed here. It is what pays for the guides. It does not identify you to us, and we never see your booking or payment details. Those cookies are governed by the partner’s own policy.
Changing your mind
Use the cookie banner to change your choice at any time. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings, though blocking all cookies will break parts of most websites, not only this one.
