Cookie Policy

Last updated: [DATE]. This explains what cookies and similar technologies this site uses, why, and how you can control them, in line with UK PECR and UK GDPR.

Template notice: this is a starting-point policy, not legal advice. Update the cookie table below to match exactly what your analytics/affiliate tools actually set once they're live, and have it reviewed before going live.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They're used to make sites work, remember preferences, and — with your consent — measure traffic or track affiliate referrals.

Third-party cookies

When you click an affiliate link on this site (marked "Advertisement"), you're taken to a third-party site (a ticket marketplace, hotel booking site, retailer, etc.) which may set its own cookies under its own cookie/privacy policy. We don't control those cookies — check the destination site's own policy for details.

Managing your consent

On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings (which resets the banner) or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings directly. Most browsers also let you block cookies globally or on a per-site basis — check your browser's help pages for instructions.
