Cookies are tiny text files a site drops in your browser to remember things between visits — whether you're signed in, which language you picked, that sort of thing. Some cookies are strictly necessary for a site to work; others help us understand what's being read.

We keep our cookie footprint small on purpose. The full list:

• Session cookies. Keep you signed in as you move between pages. Deleted when you close the browser.
• Preference cookies. Remember small choices — language picker, whether you've dismissed the new-user popup. Kept for up to twelve months.
• Anonymous analytics. Aggregate page-view counts so we can see what people read and where they leave the site. No identifying information is stored.
• Stripe cookies. Set by our payment provider during checkout for fraud prevention. Only present while you're on the payment step.

We don't use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social-network trackers.

Every modern browser lets you block cookies from its settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the site — you may not be able to stay signed in or complete a booking.

You can also use private browsing mode. Cookies set in a private window are deleted the moment you close it.

If we ever add or change a cookie, we'll update this page and bump the “last updated” date at the top. For anything important, we'll flag it in a banner on the site before it takes effect.
