Cookie Policy
This page explains exactly which cookies and similar tracking technologies Tapastrails.com uses, what each one does, and how you can control them. For broader privacy information, see our Privacy Policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device to remember things between visits. Some cookies are essential to making the site work; others (like analytics cookies) are optional and only run if you consent.
Cookies on this site
Strictly necessary
- tt_consent_v1 — stores your cookie preference (accept / reject) so we don't show the banner again on every page. Stored in your browser's localStorage. No expiration; you can clear it via your browser settings.
Analytics (only with consent)
These cookies are set by Google Analytics and only run if you click "Accept all" on the cookie banner. They help us understand how visitors use the site.
- _ga — Distinguishes anonymous visitors. Expires after 2 years.
- _ga_HGTFD2X5MS — Used by GA4 to maintain session state. Expires after 2 years.
Affiliate (only if you click an affiliate link)
When you click a link to GetYourGuide, Viator, or Klook, those platforms set their own cookies to track that you arrived from this site. This is how we receive a commission if you book a tour. Tapas Trails does not access or read these cookies — they belong to the affiliate platforms.
- GetYourGuide cookies — set on getyourguide.com after you click a link from this site. GetYourGuide's cookie policy
- Viator cookies — set on viator.com after you click a link from this site. Viator's cookie policy
- Klook cookies — set on klook.com after you click a link from this site. Klook's cookie policy
How to control cookies
You can:
- Click "Reject all" on the cookie banner when you visit — no analytics cookies are set
- Clear cookies and localStorage in your browser settings — this resets your consent and the banner will appear again on your next visit
- Use browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger to block tracking globally
What happens if you reject cookies?
The site works perfectly. You miss nothing. You just won't be counted in our anonymous visitor statistics.
Changes to this policy
If we add or remove tracking technologies, this page will be updated and the "last updated" date will change.
