What cookies are and why we use them

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as scripts and pixels, read or store information on your device in the same way. In this policy we call all of them cookies.

We use three groups:

  • Functional: needed for the site to work and to remember your cookie choice. These do not need consent.
  • Statistics: Google Analytics 4 shows us which pages are read, so we can improve our guides. Only with your consent.
  • Marketing: our booking partners use cookies to see that you came from our site, so we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Only with your consent.

We do not show personalised advertising and we do not embed social media posts.

Your choice

Change your cookie settings

When you first visit, a banner asks for your choice. Statistics and marketing cookies are only placed after you accept them. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time:

You can also delete cookies in your browser settings. The site keeps working without statistics and marketing cookies, but some booking widgets may not load.

How we handle personal data in general is described in our privacy policy. Questions? Email [email protected].
