One Cookie, And It Is Strictly Necessary
The site sets a single cookie. It remembers the market and language you are reading in, so returning to the site does not put you back on a page written for somewhere else. It carries no advertising identifier, is readable only by this site, and cannot be used to build a profile of you. It is set without consent because without it the site cannot remember the one choice it asks you to make.
The Booking Form Keeps Your Progress In Your Browser
While you are filling in a booking, the form stores what you have entered in your browser's session storage so that a refresh or a mistyped address does not cost you the whole thing. That includes the addresses, the timing and anything you have told us about the journey. It is not a cookie and it is never sent anywhere on its own: it stays on your device, it is readable only by this site, and your browser discards it when you close the tab.
No Analytics, No Advertising, No Third-Party Tags
There is no analytics on this site. Not on the booking pages, not on the editorial pages, not anywhere — no page-view counter, no session recorder, no advertising pixel and no third-party tag of any kind. That is why this page asks you to consent to nothing: there is nothing running that consent would govern.
Clearing What Is Stored
Your browser will let you clear or block cookies and site data for this site at any time. Clearing it loses only your market preference and any booking you were part-way through; the market cookie is set again the next time you choose one. If analytics is ever introduced, it will be introduced with a choice and this page will say so before it runs.
