This policy describes the cookies we set, those set by Google Analytics where you have opted in, and the cookie set by the GetYourGuide widget embedded on destination pages. TDDDG §25 applies to any information stored on or accessed from your device. For full details of our data processing under GDPR, see our Privacy Policy.
We refer to FairFareFinder.com, HotWeekends.com, and MeetOnArrival.com collectively as "the Sites".
We set four first-party cookies. All are set with
Secure; SameSite=Lax and are accessible only over HTTPS.
None are used for advertising or cross-site tracking by us.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
fff-consent |
Records your cookie preference choices (analytics: yes/no) and the timestamp of your last decision. Without this cookie we cannot honour your preferences across page loads. | 6 months | TDDDG §25(2) no. 2 — strictly necessary to record and honour your own consent decision |
fff-user-preferences |
Stores the display preferences you have configured: currency, language, and temperature unit (Celsius / Fahrenheit). The duration matches the retention period you select in Settings; session-scoped by default. | Session to 1 year — your choice | TDDDG §25(2) no. 2 — strictly necessary to deliver the display preferences you have explicitly set |
fff-origins |
Stores your selected departure city or cities (up to two for MeetOnArrival dual-origin searches) and the associated country codes. The duration matches the retention period you select in Settings; session-scoped by default. | Session to 1 year — your choice | TDDDG §25(2) no. 2 — strictly necessary to deliver the search functionality you have requested |
fff-acknowledgements |
Records which informational notices you have dismissed (for example, the price-accuracy disclaimer banner) and the version of each notice you saw. Prevents the same notice being shown again after you have explicitly dismissed it. If a notice is updated to a new version, it will reappear once. | 1 year | TDDDG §25(2) no. 2 — strictly necessary to honour your explicit dismissal of an informational notice |
If you accept analytics cookies, we load Google Analytics 4 (GA4). The GA4 script is not loaded at all unless you opt in. Google acts as a data processor on our behalf under a data processing agreement. Each of our three Sites has its own separate GA4 property; data is not combined across brands.
We use GA4 Consent Mode: analytics_storage is set to
denied by default and updated to granted only
after you accept. IP anonymisation is enabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Distinguishes unique visitors. Contains a randomly generated client ID. Set by Google on the google.com domain. | 2 years | TDDDG §25(1) — consent (opt-in via cookie preferences) |
_ga_<ID> |
Maintains GA4 session state for a specific property. Contains an expiry timestamp and session counter; no personal identifiers. Set by Google on the google.com domain. | 2 years | TDDDG §25(1) — consent (opt-in via cookie preferences) |
You can review Google's privacy disclosures at policies.google.com/privacy. Data collected via GA4 may be transferred to and processed in the United States. Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses as the transfer safeguard under GDPR Art. 46(2)(c).
Destination share pages embed a GetYourGuide widget that shows activities available at the destination the user is viewing. We load this widget without requiring marketing consent because the user has explicitly arrived at a specific destination page, and showing relevant activities there is a functional part of that service, not cross-site advertising.
| Cookie | Purpose | Domain | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
visitor_id |
Set by GetYourGuide as part of delivering the activities widget for the destination you are viewing. We do not set this cookie, do not read it, and do not use it for our own tracking. | .getyourguide.com |
TDDDG §25(2) no. 2 — strictly necessary to deliver the widget service you have requested by viewing a specific destination |
What GetYourGuide does with this cookie on their side is governed by their own privacy policy at getyourguide.com/privacy-policy.
When you follow a link to a partner site (currently GetYourGuide), you leave our Sites and that site's own cookie policy applies. Cookies set by partners are set on their own domain, not ours.
You can change your analytics consent at any time via the Cookie Preferences option in the site footer or settings menu. Withdrawing consent stops Google Analytics loading for your current session and prevents it loading on future visits.
You can control how long we remember your departure city and display preferences via the Settings menu. Both default to session-only and are deleted automatically when your browser session ends unless you choose a longer period.
You can delete any cookie at any time via your browser settings.
Deleting fff-consent will cause the cookie preference panel
to reappear on your next visit. Deleting fff-origins will
clear your saved departure city. Deleting
fff-user-preferences will reset currency, language, and
temperature unit to their defaults. Deleting
fff-acknowledgements will cause any dismissed notices or
banners to reappear.
We update this policy whenever our cookie usage changes. The date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes affecting analytics or third-party cookies will be accompanied by a new consent prompt.
