Cookies: what they are here and why

The honest rundown of the small files this site stores in your browser — what they do, what they don't, and how to switch them off. Last updated September 2026.

Minimal by design You choose
Basics

First, what a cookie actually is

A tiny text file your browser saves so a site can remember you between pages and visits. That's genuinely it.

They remember

Things like "already saw the cookie banner" — so you don't get asked every visit.

They measure

Anonymous stats tell us which pages help travellers and which need work.

They're not programs

A cookie can't run code, read your files or watch you around the web.

They don't identify you

Ours store preferences, not names — your identity stays yours.

The list

The three kinds we use

A deliberately short list — we run a lean setup.

Essential

Keep the site working: the cookie banner choice, security basics, form integrity. These can't be switched off — the site breaks without them.

Always on

Anonymous analytics

Aggregated page stats — which trips get read, where people drop off. No names, no cross-site tracking, no advertising profiles.

Your choice

Preferences

Little comforts — remembering where you left off, your cookie choice itself, display tweaks on return visits.

Your choice
Your controls

How to say no (or change your mind)

Three ways — pick whichever's easiest.

1

The banner

The consent banner on our homepage accepts or declines in one click. Declined? Analytics and preference cookies simply never load.

2

Browser settings

Every browser lets you block or delete cookies — check Settings → Privacy. Blocking essentials may break parts of the site.

3

Clear them anytime

Deleting cookies for blisssora.com resets your choice — the banner will politely ask again next visit.

Outside services

Third-party cookies, honestly listed

A couple of embedded services bring their own cookies — here's who and why.

  • Google Maps — the map on our contacts page sets Google's cookies when you interact with it
  • CDN libraries — our fonts and UI frameworks are served from CDNs, which may set technical cookies

If this policy changes

We update this page when the site's cookie setup changes. The "last updated" line up top is the honest date — not boilerplate.
