Cookie Policy.
What our website stores on your device (only your answer to our cookie notice), and what other services may do when our pages load or you follow a link.
Last updated 9 November 2026The Short Version
The Trip Route doesn't set cookies and doesn't use analytics or advertising trackers. The only thing we store is your answer to our cookie notice, saved in your own browser so the notice doesn't reappear on every page.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, tracking pixels and device fingerprinting. Under the UK's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), a website needs your consent before using any of these, unless they are strictly necessary to provide something you've asked for. In Australia, information collected this way can be personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Our Website
Our pages are built with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The JavaScript builds the menu, the footer, the cookie notice and the accommodation search bar in your browser, and sends our contact form when you submit it. It doesn't set cookies and doesn't send information about your visit anywhere.
When you choose Essential only or Accept analytics in our cookie notice, we save that choice in your browser's local storage under the name ttr-consent-v1. This is strictly necessary to remember your answer, stays on your device and is never sent to us. It remains until you clear your browser data. We don't run analytics at present, so either choice has the same effect today.
When you use the search bar, the destination, dates and number of guests you enter are added to the Booking.com address that opens in a new tab. That information goes to Booking.com, not to us.
Like every website, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs. These don't involve cookies and are explained in our Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Services
Fonts
Our typefaces are stored on our own server, so loading a page doesn't connect you to Google or any other font service.
Booking.com and affiliate tracking
Once you follow one of our accommodation links, you're on Booking.com, which uses cookies under its own cookie policy. These include cookies that record that you arrived from The Trip Route, so a qualifying booking can be credited to us. If a link passes through an affiliate network's tracking address on the way, that network may also set a cookie to record the referral.
These cookies are set by those companies on their own websites, not by ours. You can manage them through their cookie settings or your browser.
No embedded content
We don't embed maps, videos, social media posts or advertising on our pages, so none of those services can set cookies through our website.
If This Changes
If we ever add analytics, advertising tags or any other non-essential technology, we'll update this policy first and ask for your consent again through our cookie notice before any of it runs. You'll be able to change your choice at any time.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can see and delete cookies, and block third-party cookies, in your browser's settings. Look under Privacy or Privacy and security in Chrome, Edge and Firefox. In Safari, open Settings → Privacy on a Mac, or the Safari section of the Settings app on iPhone and iPad. Blocking cookies won't affect how our website works. Clearing your browser's data for our site also clears your cookie-notice choice, so the notice will appear again.
