1. What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by a website in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, can perform related jobs. They can remember a session, keep a user signed in, store a preference or help us understand whether something is working properly.
2. The types we may use
| Type | What it does | Why it may be used |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Supports core functions such as security, authentication, session state or routing. | These may be needed for the service to work and generally cannot be switched off through a cookie preference tool. |
| Preferences | Remembers choices you make in the interface. | So you do not have to keep telling the site the same thing. |
| Analytics | Helps us understand general usage and technical performance. | Where required by law, these should only be used after the appropriate consent. |
| Third-party service storage | May be set when a specialist provider supports payments, authentication, security or another service feature. | Only where that provider's functionality is actually used. |
3. Advertising
The Girls Trip Guide does not need advertising cookies to provide the trip-planning service. If advertising or materially different tracking technology is ever introduced, this policy and any consent controls should be updated before that use begins.
4. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary storage can stop parts of an account or trip service from working correctly. If we introduce a cookie preference tool, you can also use that to manage optional categories.
5. Changes
This policy should be reviewed whenever analytics, authentication, payment or marketing technology changes materially, so that it continues to describe what the site actually does rather than what somebody vaguely remembers it doing.
