Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 25, 2026
1. What are cookies & local storage?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use your browser's "local storage" for similar purposes. Some are strictly necessary for the site to work; others (analytics and advertising) run only with your consent.
2. Manage your choice
You can review or change your consent for advertising and analytics cookies at any time.
This re-opens Google's consent message so you can change your decision.
3. Essential (always active)
These are required for core functionality and never require consent.

4. Analytics
These help us understand aggregate usage. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland they load only after you click “Accept” in the consent message, and you can withdraw that consent anytime above. In regions where no prior consent step is legally required they load without a prompt — you can still block them in your browser (section 7).

5. Advertising
The website is supported by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use these cookies to serve and measure ads, limit how often you see an ad, and — for personalised ads — tailor them based on your prior visits to this and other sites. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland they load only after you click “Accept”, and until then ads are non-personalised; elsewhere, where no prior consent step is legally required, they load without a prompt. Wherever you are, you can opt out of personalised advertising at adssettings.google.com or aboutads.info/choices.

Google may set additional cookies; see Google's partner-sites policy for the current list.
6. Third-party embeds
Destination videos are embedded through youtube-nocookie.com (YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode), and the player is only loaded when you press play — so it sets no tracking cookies until then. Video thumbnails are loaded from YouTube's image servers, map tiles from OpenFreeMap, destination photos from our own image host on Cloudflare R2, and web fonts from Google Fonts; each of these sees your IP address in order to deliver the file, and none of them set cookies here.
7. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Blocking essential items may break parts of the Service.
