Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. Cookies help us: - Remember your preferences and settings - Understand how you use our services - Improve your browsing experience - Provide personalized content

We use the following types of cookies: The chooser offers three categories, matching what the site actually stores and loads. Essential (always on, no choice offered) Your signed-in session, a session identifier, and the currency and language you picked. These are stored in your browser, are never sent to a third party, and are what you asked for by using the site. Without them you cannot stay signed in or keep a currency selection. Measurement (off until you allow it) Cloudflare Web Analytics: page speed and traffic volume, so we can tell whether the site is slow for real people rather than for our test machines. Cookieless, and it does not follow you to other sites. Partner attribution (off until you allow it) GetYourGuide partner analytics: when you follow a link from here and book on their site, this is what credits the booking to us. It is the only thing here that can observe your activity on another company's website. We use no advertising cookies and are not part of any ad network.

Two third-party services can run on this site, and neither loads until you allow its category. You are asked on your first visit, and can change the answer at any time from "Cookie preferences" in the footer. - GetYourGuide partner analytics (category: partner attribution) — credits us for bookings you make after following a link from here. It can see your activity on GetYourGuide's own site. Loads only if you allow partner attribution. - Cloudflare Web Analytics (category: measurement) — page speed and traffic volume. It sets no cookie and builds no cross-site profile. Loads only if you allow measurement. We do not use Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics, or any advertising network. Two things happen before you answer, and you should know about them. Product images load directly from GetYourGuide's, Klook's and Unsplash's own CDNs, and the browser opens a connection to those CDNs early to speed that up. Both reveal your IP address to them, as any image on any website does. Neither sets anything in your browser, and we cannot show the catalogue without the images, so they sit in the essential category. Your browser also stores a few things the categories above do not cover, because they are yours rather than anyone's tracking: saved favourites, the sign-in handshake while it is in progress, and the details of a booking you just completed so the confirmation page can show them. All of it stays on your device.

On this site Choose "Cookie preferences" in the footer of any page. It reopens the same chooser you saw on your first visit, with your current answer loaded. Refusing is one click, exactly like accepting, and you can change your mind as often as you like. A refusal takes effect immediately for anything not yet loaded; a script that already started on the current page stops running when you next load a page. If you clear your browser storage, your answer goes with it and you will be asked again. Browser settings Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies and site data per site, usually under "Options" or "Preferences". Blocking storage for this site entirely also blocks the essential items, so you will not be able to stay signed in or keep a currency selection. We deliberately do not link you to third-party opt-out tools such as the Google Analytics opt-out, because we do not run those services. The chooser here covers everything this site loads.

Cookies have different retention periods: - Your sign-in session: until you sign out, or the session expires - Currency and language: until you change them or clear your browser storage - Your consent answer: kept until you change it or clear your browser storage. It has no expiry date, but it is tied to a version — if we add or change a third-party service, the old answer stops counting and you are asked again - Cloudflare Web Analytics: sets nothing in your browser - GetYourGuide: sets its own cookies under its own policy once you allow that category, and those are outside our control All of the above lives in your browser only. Clearing site data removes every item, including your consent answer, and you will be asked again on the next visit.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our cookie practices.
