What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as localStorage and sessionStorage, let a site remember things on your device. This policy covers all of them.
We group them into three categories: necessary, analytics and marketing.
Necessary (always active)
These items make the site work and remember choices you make. They stay on your device, don’t identify you and are not used for advertising. They don’t need your consent.
| Name | Type | What for | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
baw-consent | localStorage | Remembers your cookie choice. | 6 months; then we ask again. |
baw-theme | localStorage | Light or dark theme, if you changed it. | Until you clear it. |
baw-locale | localStorage | Your preferred language, if you chose one. | Until you clear it. |
baw-lang-hint | sessionStorage | Avoids showing the language suggestion twice. | Until you close the tab. |
baw-favorites | localStorage | The places you save as favourites (only on your device). | Until you clear it. |
baw-voter | localStorage | A random identifier so you can’t vote twice for the same suggestion. | Until you clear it. |
baw-votes | localStorage | Which suggestions you already voted for, to show your vote. | Until you clear it. |
baw-currency | localStorage | The currency (€ or $) you picked on the tours page. | Until you clear it. |
baw-newsletter-dismissed | localStorage | Remembers that you closed the newsletter invitation. | Until you clear it. |
baw-seen | localStorage | Tells our own anonymous statistics (and Google Analytics, only if you accept analytics) whether this is a first or returning visit. | Until you clear it. |
baw-sid | sessionStorage | Random session identifier for our cookie-free analytics. It doesn’t identify you and no IP is stored. | Until you close the tab. |
When you send a form or vote, Cloudflare Turnstile may use technical storage strictly needed to check that you are not a bot.
Analytics (only if you accept)
We use Google Tag Manager with Consent Mode v2, with every category denied by default. No Google Analytics or Microsoft Clarity script loads and no analytics cookie is set until you accept.
| Name | Provider | What for | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes visitors for statistics. | Up to 2 years. |
_ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Keeps the session state. | Up to 2 years. |
_clck | Microsoft Clarity | Identifies the visitor across sessions. | 1 year. |
_clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Groups page views into one session recording. | 1 day. |
CLID, MUID | Microsoft Clarity | Identifies the browser for Clarity and Microsoft. | 1 year. |
In Google Analytics, event data is kept for the minimum period (2 months). More information: Google and Microsoft Clarity.
Marketing
None. We don’t use advertising or remarketing cookies.
Google Maps and Instagram
The map and the place details are the core of the service you are asking for, so we load Google Maps as part of the site. The same applies to Instagram posts embedded on some pages. These providers may use their own storage or cookies when their content loads, under their own policies (Google, Instagram).
We treat them as necessary for the service. To be validated with a lawyer
How to change your choice
You can accept or reject analytics at any time. Your choice is saved for 6 months; after that we ask you again. You will also find this button in the footer of every page.
You can also delete everything this site stores from your browser settings (site data / local storage). If you do, you will lose your favourites and preferences.
