Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 20 February 2026
This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use on the Kelong Tides website, and how you can manage your preferences. We have kept the language straightforward so you can make an informed choice at your own pace.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have already consented to cookies — so the site can work properly and provide a more consistent experience on return visits. Cookies do not give us access to your device or any personal information beyond what you share with us directly.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Always active — required for the site to function
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They support core features such as navigation, security, and cookie consent memory. No personal data is collected for advertising or tracking purposes.
- Session management and page navigation
- Security tokens to protect form submissions
- Cookie consent preference storage (localStorage)
- Duration: session-based or up to 12 months
Analytics Cookies
Optional — help us understand how visitors use the site
Analytics cookies allow us to understand which pages are visited most, how long visitors stay, and where they arrive from. This information is aggregated and anonymised — we cannot identify individual visitors from it. The data helps us improve the quality and structure of our website over time.
- Provider: Google Analytics (GA4)
- Data collected: pages visited, session duration, approximate location (country level)
- Duration: up to 14 months, then anonymised
Marketing Cookies
Optional — used to measure the reach of our communications
Marketing cookies help us understand whether visitors arrived via an advertisement or a referral link, and whether a booking enquiry followed. This helps us allocate our communications budget responsibly. These cookies do not personalise advertisements shown to you on other websites without your further consent.
- Providers: Google Ads, Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram)
- Data collected: click source, conversion events (enquiry form submission)
- Duration: up to 90 days
Preference Cookies
Optional — remember your choices between visits
Preference cookies remember settings you have chosen during a visit, such as language or display preferences, so you do not need to re-enter them next time. Disabling these cookies means your preferences will not be remembered between sessions.
- Data stored: language preference, display settings
- Duration: up to 12 months
