Cookie Policy

1. What this policy covers

This policy explains how Along the Shaws uses cookies, local storage and similar browser technologies on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. Essential and functional storage

We use storage that is necessary for the website to operate and to remember choices you make. This includes storing your cookie preference so that we do not ask you to make the same choice on every page. Essential and functional storage is not used for targeted advertising.

3. Google Analytics 4

With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the website and move through the enquiry and booking journey. GA4 is not loaded by our website until you choose to allow analytics.

When analytics consent is granted, Google Analytics may use cookies such as _ga and a property-specific _ga_* cookie to distinguish visits and measure website usage. Information sent to Google may include pages viewed, referring pages, browser or device information, approximate location derived from network information, and interaction events such as tour views, cart actions, checkout starts and contact-link clicks.

We configure advertising-related consent signals as denied. Targeted advertising technology is not currently active on this website.

4. Your choice

Analytics is optional. You can accept analytics, reject optional storage, or change your preference later using the Cookie Preferences link in the website footer. If you withdraw analytics consent during a visit, our website stops sending analytics events and attempts to remove Google Analytics cookies set for this site.

5. Third-party services

Google may process analytics information on infrastructure outside South Africa. Where personal information is transferred internationally, our Privacy Policy explains the safeguards and principles that apply. Google's own privacy and data-handling terms also apply to its services.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the technologies used on the website change. Where a material change affects optional analytics or advertising technologies, we will update the policy version and ask visitors to make a fresh cookie choice.
