Google Analytics is optional and blocked until you allow analytics. Advertising trackers are not installed. You can reject optional categories and still browse the website or make a travel enquiry.
Cookies, local storage and cache
Cookies are small pieces of information a website can store in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, can remember a preference on your device. Cookies and storage may identify a session or remember a choice; they are not automatically anonymous.
Your browser may also cache images, fonts and other website files so pages load efficiently. This routine file cache is different from optional analytics or advertising tracking. You can clear cached files and site storage through your browser settings.
What this website currently uses
We save your cookie preference in local storage under the key trip-buddies-privacy-preferences on the browser where you make the choice. It contains the consent version, time and the optional analytics and marketing categories you selected. It does not contain your name, email address or booking details. The preference expires after 180 days, when you will be asked again.
Necessary delivery and security features may be provided by the hosting service. Google Analytics loads only after analytics permission. Advertising trackers are not installed. The private staff sales desk uses a secure session cookie for sign-in; it is not a customer account or an advertising tracker.
Where an approved quotation offers an enabled payment checkout, selecting Pay loads Razorpay to process the payment you request. Its checkout may use storage for transaction and security functions. Rejecting optional analytics and marketing does not block the requested checkout.
| Category | Purpose and current status |
|---|---|
| Necessary preferences | Remembers your cookie choice on this browser for up to 180 days. Required to respect that choice. |
| Staff sign-in | A secure, HttpOnly session cookie keeps authorised staff signed in to the private sales desk. It uses a separate session from your public cookie preferences and is not used for marketing. |
| Requested payments | Razorpay checkout loads when you start an available quotation payment. Transaction and security technologies are governed by Razorpay’s privacy notice. |
| Analytics | Optional Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_...) measure visits and selected actions for up to 180 days. Our configuration does not refresh that expiry on every visit. Rejecting or withdrawing analytics blocks tracking and removes these first-party cookies. |
| Marketing | Optional. Would support advertising measurement or personalisation if introduced. No advertising provider is currently connected. |
Choose and change your preferences
The preference notice lets you accept optional categories, reject them or choose categories separately. Optional categories remain off until you make an affirmative choice. Necessary preference storage remains available so we can remember and respect your decision.
Use Cookie preferences in the footer to review or change your preference at any time. Your choice applies to this browser and device; another browser or device will need its own choice. If storage is blocked, the choice lasts only for the current page session. If storage is cleared or the page reloads without saved storage, the site may ask again.
Choosing optional categories does not subscribe you to email or WhatsApp promotions. Any new tracking provider or materially different use will require an updated notice and an appropriate fresh choice before activation.
Third-party services
Opening a WhatsApp link or another external website takes you to that provider’s service. Its own cookie and privacy practices apply. These services are not loaded as embedded advertising or analytics trackers merely because you browse our package pages.
Google Analytics uses browser identifiers and technical information to produce usage reports. We disable advertising signals and automatic form/link collection. Private staff and payment pages are excluded; full query strings, fragments and free-text fields are not sent. You can withdraw permission in Cookie preferences at any time.
Razorpay is the payment provider for enabled quotation checkouts. Its privacy notice explains its handling of information and storage during payment; its cookie controls apply separately within its service. Opening a package page does not by itself load Razorpay checkout.
If an optional analytics, advertising or other provider is added, we will identify it and explain its purpose, storage and controls in an updated notice before activation.
Browser and advertising controls
Most browsers let you inspect, block or remove cookies and site data in their privacy or security settings. The exact controls differ by browser and version. Blocking necessary storage can prevent a saved preference from being remembered.
If you use advertising platforms, their own ad settings and industry opt-out services may provide additional controls. Opting out of personalised advertising does not necessarily remove every advertisement.
Related information and updates
Storage-related information can sometimes be linked with personal information. Our Privacy Policy explains the purposes, sharing, retention and rights that apply to information we handle. We use optional analytics reports to understand popular trips and improve enquiry journeys. We do not connect this release to advertising partners or link analytics identifiers with CRM contact records.
We may revise this policy as technology, services or applicable requirements change. The date above identifies the current version. Contact us if you have questions about a stored preference or the technologies used on our website.
