A straightforward explanation of the cookies we use and how you can manage your preferences.
We use cookies and similar technologies in a fairly minimal, practical way: to keep the site secure, remember some choices, and understand how people use Kytrix so we can make it better. Optional cookies (like analytics) will only be used with your consent.
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and certain types of scripts or pixels.
This website is operated by Kytrix Travel Limited (company number 16778869), registered in England and Wales. We decide which cookies are used on this site and why.
Some cookies are set by us directly (first-party cookies). In other cases, third parties (such as security tools or analytics providers) may set cookies when their services are used on our site (third-party cookies).
We group the cookies and similar technologies we use into several broad categories:
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as:
Without these cookies, parts of the site may not work correctly. Under UK law, we do not need your consent for strictly necessary cookies, but we still explain what they do.
We may use privacy-aware analytics tools to understand how people use the site, for example:
This helps us spot problems, prioritise improvements and understand what's actually useful. Analytics cookies are not essential, so where they identify you or your device we will only use them with your consent.
These cookies allow the website to provide enhanced functionality and remember some of your choices. For example, they may:
If you disable these, some features may not behave as smoothly but the site should still broadly work.
To protect the site, and especially forms (like the Insider Circle or contact pages), we use security tools that may set cookies or use similar technologies. These help us:
Some of these are strictly necessary for security and may not be optional. For example, services like Cloudflare Turnstile (used for bot protection) may set cookies as part of their challenge process.
As we grow, we may use additional cookies or tracking technologies for:
If and when we add these, we will ask for your consent and update this policy with more detail.
The exact cookies in use may change as we tweak the site and the tools we use, but typical examples include:
We aim to avoid collecting more data than we need and prefer tools that aggregate or anonymise information where possible.
When you first visit the site (or after we make significant changes), you may see a cookie banner or notice that:
You can usually change your preferences by:
Please note that blocking all cookies may mean some parts of the site do not function as intended.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually:
How you do this varies from browser to browser (for example, Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox). Check the help section or support pages for your browser for the most up-to-date instructions.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no widely agreed standard for how websites should respond to these signals, so our site does not specifically change behaviour when it receives one. However, you can still manage cookies using the methods described above.
Where cookies or similar technologies involve processing personal data (for example, an IP address or an identifier that can reasonably be linked to you), that processing will also be covered by our Privacy Policy.
In particular, if we use analytics or marketing cookies that identify you or your device, we will rely on your consent to set them, and you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Some content on our site may come from other providers – for example, embedded reviews, maps, social media content or booking tools. These services may set their own cookies when you view or interact with that content.
We don't control those cookies directly. We recommend you read the cookie or privacy information for any third-party service you interact with via our site.
We may update this Cookie & Tracking Policy from time to time. This may be because:
When we make changes, we'll update the Last updated date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we may also highlight them via the cookie banner or on our Legal & policies page.
If you have any questions about how we use cookies or this policy, please contact us via the contact page or by post to our registered office.
We'd rather you ask than worry in silence – if something isn't clear, we'll do our best to explain it in plain English.
Our aim is to build a helpful, honest local travel service – not a data-harvesting machine. We'd rather be transparent and earn your trust than squeeze in one more metric.
