1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. We also use related technologies such as local storage, session storage and tracking pixels — referred to collectively in this policy as "cookies".
2. Categories of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary — keep you signed in, remember your shortlist and compare list, prevent fraud and load-balance the site. These cannot be disabled.
- Functional — remember your city, language, recently viewed venues and saved filters.
- Analytics — aggregated, anonymised usage data (page views, scroll depth, search terms) to understand which palaces and guides are most helpful. No personal profiles are built.
- Marketing — used only with your consent to measure the effectiveness of campaigns on Google, Meta and similar networks. You can opt out at any time from your browser settings.
3. Third-party cookies
Some pages embed content from trusted third parties (YouTube, Google Maps, payment gateways). These providers may set their own cookies under their privacy policies. We do not control these cookies.
4. Your choices
You can clear or block cookies anytime in your browser settings. Doing so may sign you out and reset your shortlist. Where consent is required, you will see a cookie banner on your first visit; you can change your preferences at any time by clearing site data and reloading the page.
5. Retention
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire between 30 days and 13 months depending on their purpose.
