Cookies and storage

Last reviewed in August 2026

The short answer. This site is a set of static pages. It sets no advertising cookies, no tracking cookies and no cookies of its own at all. One preference is kept in your browser and that is the whole of it.

What is stored

NameWhat it doesHow longKind
lh-cookies Remembers that you have closed the notice at the foot of the page, so that it does not come back on every page you open Until you clear the site data for this domain Preference, set by us
Host security Lets our host tell a person apart from an automated client hammering the site. It carries no identity Short lived, set by the host Strictly necessary, third party

The first is kept with the browser local storage interface, which is not a cookie. It never leaves your browser and it is not sent with any request. The second is set by the host, and we neither read it nor use it for advertising or for measurement. There is no third row. If one ever becomes necessary it appears here before it appears in your browser.

Why there is no consent wall

A banner that asks permission for something that does not exist is theatre. Consent is required for storage that is not necessary, we set none, so the notice at the foot is a notice and not a request. It states what is kept and it goes away when you close it. Nothing is switched on by accepting it, because there is nothing to switch on.

Measurement

Counting pages and countries here uses no cookie and no identifier attached to you. The count is aggregate and it cannot be traced back to a reader. Privacy

When you leave to book

Following a booking link takes you to the operator or to the booking platform. From that moment their cookies apply and their policy governs them, which normally includes cookies for the session, for the basket and for attributing the sale. That is outside our control and outside our view, and the notice on the page you land on is the one that describes it.

The link carries our affiliate identifier so the booking is attributed to us. We earn a commission and your price is the same either way.

Changing your choice

Clear the site data for this domain in your browser and the stored preference goes with it, so the notice returns on your next visit. Every browser keeps this under its privacy settings, usually called site data or storage.

Blocking storage altogether does not break anything here, because nothing on this site depends on it. The notice will simply appear again each time, since there is nowhere to record that you have read it.
