In short
- No cookies are set by this website.
- No advertising or social media trackers are used, and no content is embedded from other websites.
- Fonts and photographs are served from our own website address, so loading a page does not contact other companies’ servers.
- The planner and safari list keep a little information in your browser for the current tab only, and never your contact details.
- Optional Vercel analytics and performance measurement are prepared but awaiting activation; once enabled, they require your consent.
When optional analytics is enabled, a nonblocking choice asks you to allow or decline it before it runs. You can change that choice through Analytics preferences.
Back to contentsWhat we keep in your browser
Instead of cookies, the website uses your browser’s session storage. It belongs to a single tab, is never sent to our servers automatically, and is cleared when you close the tab. Some details are kept only in the page’s memory and are never written to your device at all.
| Name | Type | Category | Purpose | What it holds | How long |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bts-analytics-choice-v1 | sessionStorage | Functional | Remembers your choice when optional analytics is enabled. | Accepted or declined only; no identity or form answers. | Until you close the browser tab; change it through Analytics preferences. |
| bts-plan-draft-v2 | sessionStorage | Strictly necessary | Keeps your Plan My Safari choices while you move between steps, visit a safari and come back, or reload the page. | Your planning choices only: the safari you are asking about, destinations and any specific places you chose, safari style, interests, travel month or dates, trip length, number of adults and children, who is travelling, comfort level, budget band, the step you reached and when you started. | Until you close the browser tab, choose “Clear my answers”, or your request is sent. |
| bts-safari-return | sessionStorage | Functional | Returns you to the same place in the safari list, with the same filters, when you come back from a safari page. | The safari you opened and the filters you had chosen. | Deleted as soon as you return to the list, and in any case when you close the tab. |
| Contact details in the planner | Page memory | Strictly necessary | Lets you go back and edit your answers before sending. | Your name, email, phone, country, children’s ages and anything you write in the notes. | Never written to your device. Gone when you reload the page or close the tab. |
| Visit source | Page memory | Functional | Tells us how you found the website when you send an enquiry. | The website that linked to us (its address only, not the page) and any campaign tags (utm_…) in the link you followed. | Never written to your device. Gone when you reload the page or close the tab. |
Analytics
