Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owners.
How We Use Cookies
We use very few cookies on this site:
Essential Cookies (Always Active)
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
sa_cookie_consent |
Stores your cookie consent preference ("all" or "essential") | 365 days | First-party |
Advertising Cookies
This site does not show display advertising and does not set advertising cookies. No Google AdSense or DoubleClick advertising tags run on these pages. If that ever changes, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent before any advertising cookie is set.
How Google Consent Mode Works Here
Before any Google tag loads, this site sets Google Consent Mode v2 defaults to denied for analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization. While consent is denied, Google tags do not read or write cookies on your device; they may send cookieless signals (such as a page view without an identifier) that Google uses only in aggregate. Choosing "Accept All" updates analytics_storage to granted; the advertising settings stay denied because there are no ads. Choosing "Essential Only", or sending a Global Privacy Control signal, leaves everything denied.
Analytics
These cookies are only set if you click "Accept All" on our consent banner.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* |
Google Analytics 4 | Distinguish visitors and sessions | Up to 13 months |
Tags are loaded through Google Tag Manager. Without consent, analytics storage stays denied (Google Consent Mode) and these cookies are not set.
How to Manage Cookies
Via Our Consent Banner
When you first visit the site, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can choose:
- Accept All — Enables analytics cookies.
- Essential Only — Only essential cookies are used. Analytics cookies are not set.
Via Your Browser
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. To withdraw consent, clear your cookies for this site — the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
Third-Party Cookies
When you click affiliate links, you leave our site. The destination (e.g., Amazon, hotel booking sites) may set their own cookies according to their own policies. We have no control over third-party cookies set on other domains.
Global Privacy Control (GPC) & Do Not Track (DNT)
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we automatically treat this as "Essential Only" — no analytics cookies. The consent banner will not appear.
Third-party partners may respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals independently according to their own privacy policies.
Your Privacy Choices
You have several ways to control cookies on this site:
- Consent banner — Choose "Accept All" or "Essential Only" when you first visit.
- GPC signal — Enable Global Privacy Control in your browser to automatically opt out.
- Clear cookies — Delete cookies for this site in your browser settings. The consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
- Browser settings — Block or manage cookies through your browser preferences (see links above).
