We use cookies on our website. Some of them are necessary for the functioning of the site, but you can decide about others.
Please check our cookie policy for more information.
Cookies Policy
We use cookies on our website to ensure that it works properly, provide certain features and improve your experience. This page explains which cookies we use, what they are used for and how you can manage your preferences.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on a user’s computer or mobile device through their internet browser. These files may, for example, allow the device to be recognised on a subsequent visit and remember certain preferences.
In this policy, the term “cookies” refers to files used by the website to store or retrieve information on the user’s device. The website also uses browser local storage, as explained below.
Depending on their purpose, cookies may store preferences, technical information, random identifiers and data about how the website is used. Some associated information, such as an IP address, may constitute personal data. The list on this page identifies the cookies used, their purposes and their retention periods.
Some cookies are required for the operation and security of the website. Optional third-party cookies are only used after the user accepts the relevant category. The first-party statistics cookie oc_clid, identified in the table below, currently remains active regardless of the choices made in the cookie manager.
You may configure your internet browser at any time to notify you when cookies are received or to block them. You may also manage the optional categories in the “Manage cookies” section at the end of this page.
Blocking or refusing certain cookies may prevent access to some website features, such as videos, forms or the booking system.
What are cookies used for?
Cookies are used to ensure the operation and security of the website, remember preferences, provide the calendar and booking system, load external content authorised by the user and help us understand how the website is used.
Types of cookies we use
The cookies used on the website have different purposes:
- Necessary cookies: These are essential for the operation and security of the website, including maintaining the browsing session, protecting forms and recording the choices made in the cookie notice. These cookies are always active and cannot be disabled through the consent manager.
- Functional cookies: These allow services such as YouTube videos and Google reCAPTCHA to load. These services are only loaded after the user accepts functional cookies.
- Statistics cookies: These help us understand how the website is used. Google Analytics is only loaded if the user accepts statistics cookies. The website also uses the first-party statistics cookie
oc_clid, which currently remains active and records internal statistics on our own server, as explained in the table below. - FareHarbor cookies: These allow the availability calendar and booking window to load. The FareHarbor script and iframe are only loaded after the user accepts this category or selects “Accept all” in the cookie notice. Once loaded, FareHarbor may use cookies and technologies required for booking, as well as statistics and targeting technologies that cannot be managed individually by our website.
You may separately accept or refuse functional cookies, FareHarbor cookies and Google Analytics. Necessary cookies and the first-party statistics cookie oc_clid remain active. oc_clid cannot be disabled through the cookie manager, but it can be blocked or deleted in your browser settings.
Cookies may be
- Persistent cookies: These remain stored in the browser of the device used (computer, smartphone or tablet) for the period stated for each cookie or until they are deleted by the user.
- Session cookies: These are temporary and remain stored in the browser only for the duration of the session or until the user leaves the website.
Cookies can be blocked
As explained above, cookies enable certain features of our website to operate.
You may accept or refuse the optional categories and change or withdraw your consent at any time in the “Manage cookies” section. Necessary cookies and the first-party statistics cookie oc_clid cannot be disabled through this section. However, all cookies can be blocked or deleted in your browser settings.
If you refuse or disable optional cookies, some features, such as videos and contact-form protection, may not be available. If you do not accept FareHarbor cookies, the calendar script and booking-window iframe will not be loaded, so you will not be able to check availability or make a booking through the website.
List of cookies used
Cookies are grouped by origin. Necessary cookies are used to ensure the operation and security of the website and to record consent choices. Optional third-party cookies are only set after the user accepts the relevant category in the cookie notice. The first-party statistics cookie oc_clid currently remains active regardless of that choice. You may manage the optional categories at any time under Manage cookies at the end of this page.

Once accepted, FareHarbor provides the calendar, booking and payment functions and may use its own cookies and those of its payment partners (for example, Stripe, Google Pay and Adyen), as well as statistics and targeting technologies that our website cannot manage individually. If this category is not accepted, the script and iframe are not loaded and no FareHarbor cookies are used through these elements. Full current list: fareharbor.com/legal/end-user-cookie-list/.
In addition to cookies, the website uses browser local storage to remember the language of the FareHarbor booking window (fareharbor-uuid, fareharbor-language-…), store entries used by FareHarbor and Statsig and retain the conversation with our virtual assistant (chatbot-session-…). This information remains on the user’s device and can be deleted in the browser settings.
