Cookie Policy

The cookies and scripts we use on kotortravel.com, and how to control them. General information, not legal advice.

Last updated: 7 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on kotortravel.com and how you can control them. For how we handle data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy. This is general information, not legal advice.

How consent works on this site

On your first visit we show a cookie banner with three choices: Accept all, Reject non-essential, and Manage choices. We use Google Consent Mode with all non-essential consent defaulted to denied, and non-essential scripts are not loaded until you opt in. If your browser blocks storage, we fail closed and load nothing non-essential.

You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie Preferences control in the footer of every page. Your choice (and a timestamp and version) is stored in your browser's local storage, not on our servers.

Categories we use

1. Strictly necessary (always on)

These keep the site working and remember your cookie choice. They do not track you and cannot be switched off. The main item is the local-storage record of your consent.

2. Analytics (consent required)

We use Google Analytics (measurement ID G-SXCQRQ3PXC) to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the guide so we can improve it. These set Google Analytics cookies (for example _ga and _ga_*) and load only after you accept analytics cookies.

3. Booking link support (also called affiliate / marketing — consent required)

We participate in travel affiliate programmes. The Travelpayouts affiliate automation script (loaded from emrld.ltd) helps attribute bookings you make through partner links, which may help keep this guide free. It loads only after you accept this category (labelled “Booking link support” in our banner; the underlying consent category is affiliate / marketing). Note that the booking links themselves still work whether or not you enable this category — disabling it only affects automated attribution scripts, not your ability to browse or book, and there is no extra cost to you either way.

Third-party affiliate and booking sites

When you follow an affiliate link to a partner such as Booking.com, Viator, GetYourGuide, RentalCars or Skyscanner, you leave our site. Those partners set their own cookies and operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we do not control. Please review their terms on their sites.

Managing consent

  • On this site: use the Cookie Preferences control in the footer of any page to accept, reject, or toggle Analytics and Booking link support (affiliate / marketing) separately.
  • In your browser: all major browsers let you block or delete cookies and clear local storage in their settings. Doing so may reset your saved preference, so the banner will appear again.
  • Google Analytics opt-out: Google provides a browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy as our tools change. The "last updated" date above shows the latest revision.
