Home / Legal / Cookie Policy
Six cookies.
Here they
all are.
Most cookie policies describe categories in the abstract and leave you no way to act. This one names every cookie the site sets, who sets it and how long it lasts — and lets you switch off the ones that are genuinely optional, right here, in either direction.
Your choice
Set it here.
Change it
whenever.
Preferences and analytics are off until you turn them on. Your choice is stored on this device and you can reverse it on this page at any time — withdrawal is as easy as consent, which is what the law requires and what is decent anyway.
Make the site work: page security, form submission, spam prevention and remembering that you set the preferences below.
Cannot be switched off. Without these the enquiry forms and security checks stop functioning, so there is nothing meaningful to consent to.
Remember small choices — recently viewed pages, and settings that save you repeating yourself.
Off by default. Switching these off costs you a little convenience and nothing else.
Google Analytics, which tells us in aggregate which pages people read and where they give up. We use it to fix the site.
Off by default. We would rather have the data, but not more than we would rather you chose freely.
The full list
Every cookie,
named
If you find a cookie on this site that is not in this table, tell us at dataprotection@tripgation.com — it is an omission we want to fix.
| Cookie | Set by | Category | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| tg_consent | Tripgation | Strictly necessary | Stores the cookie choices you make on this page, so you are not asked again on every visit. | 6 months |
| PHPSESSID | Tripgation | Strictly necessary | Keeps a form session together while you complete an enquiry, so your entries are not lost between steps. | Session |
| _GRECAPTCHA | Google reCAPTCHA | Strictly necessary | Distinguishes a person from an automated script when a form is submitted. Without it the forms would be overrun by spam. | About 6 months |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Analytics | Assigns a random identifier so repeat visits can be counted without knowing who you are. | 2 years |
| _ga_<id> | Google Analytics | Analytics | Holds session state for the specific analytics property, so a visit is counted once rather than per page. | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Analytics | Separates one day's visits from another for daily reporting. | 24 hours |
Three of the six are strictly necessary and three are analytics. There is no fourth category, because we do not run advertising cookies at all.
The part most policies skip
Four things
this site
does not do
No advertising profiles
We run no ad pixels, no retargeting tags and no third-party advertising cookies. Reading about a Goa package here will not follow you around the internet, because there is nothing set to make that happen.
We do not sell or trade data
Not cookie data, not enquiry data, not traveller data. There is no arrangement under which any of it is monetised, and there never has been.
No cross-site tracking
Nothing here follows you to other websites. Analytics tells us how this site is used, in aggregate, and stops at the edge of it.
Refusing costs you nothing that matters
Decline preferences and analytics and every service on this site still works — quotes, enquiries, visa checks, payments. We do not gate content behind consent, because consent obtained that way is not consent.
Beyond this site
Controlling
cookies
everywhere
The control above governs this site. These settings govern all of them, and will override anything we do.
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies, and Delete browsing data to clear what is already stored.
Safari
Settings → Safari → Block All Cookies on iOS, or Safari → Settings → Privacy on Mac. Prevent cross-site tracking is on by default.
Firefox
Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection, set to Strict for the tightest handling.
Google Analytics, everywhere
Google publishes an opt-out browser add-on that stops Analytics on every site you visit, not only this one. Search for "Google Analytics opt-out add-on".
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop the enquiry forms and spam protection working. That is a genuine consequence, not a nudge — everything optional can be refused with no effect on the service.
