Cookie policy
Last updated: 18 August 2026
TransferSelect sets analytics cookies, and no others. This page names them, says how long they last, and marks where our control ends: once you follow a link to a provider, you are on their site under their rules.
What this site places in your browser
Two cookies, both from Google Analytics, both set when a page loads. Until 19 August 2026 this page said the site set none; that was true then and is not now, so here is what is actually placed:
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Tells one visitor apart from another so a returning visit is not counted twice. | 2 years |
_ga_G-MQ16XVF8TW | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of the current visit, so a session has a start and an end. | 2 years |
They are first-party cookies, meaning they are stored under this site's own name, and they carry a generated identifier rather than anything you told us. What Google receives with them is described in the privacy policy.
TransferSelect sets no advertising cookies and no preference or personalisation cookies, and uses no local storage, no session storage, no indexed databases, no service workers and no advertising pixels.
Why there is no cookie banner
Because the site's owner decided not to show one. The two cookies above are analytics cookies rather than strictly necessary ones, and they are placed without asking you first. We would rather write that down plainly than describe a consent step that does not happen.
If you would prefer not to be counted, a browser that blocks trackers, a tracker-blocking extension, or Google's own opt-out add-on all work, and clearing your cookies removes what is already there. Nothing on this site depends on analytics, so it behaves identically without them.
Affiliate links
Affiliate links here are ordinary links. We do not set a cookie before you navigate, and no code runs in your browser between your click and your arrival at the provider. The referral is carried by parameters in the link's address, not by anything stored on your device.
Once you arrive at Viator or another external provider, that website may use its own cookies or storage under its own policies. We are not going to describe which ones, because that is theirs to state and ours to stay out of. See affiliate disclosure.
The external image
One route page shows a provider photograph served from an external host, media-cdn.tripadvisor.com. If you scroll far enough for the image to load, your browser makes a request to that host.
A request is not in itself a cookie. What matters here is that any cookie or storage behaviour on the part of that external host is governed by that host and is not controlled by us. The privacy policy describes what a request of this kind exposes.
Controlling browser storage
Your browser settings let you block or clear cookies and site data, including for the external hosts described above, and most browsers can also block third-party requests entirely. Because this site places nothing, blocking storage for TransferSelect will not change how it behaves.
If this changes
If TransferSelect later adopts anything that uses cookies or browser storage, this page will be updated to describe it, and any user controls needed at that point should be put in place then rather than retrofitted afterwards.
