Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 2026
On your first visit a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Until you choose, and if you reject, no analytics or partner cookies are set, Microsoft Clarity and the GetYourGuide script do not load, and nothing is recorded. Closing the banner without choosing counts as a rejection.
If you reject, PostHog still counts page views and clicks without cookies or any storage in your browser: it works out a short-lived anonymous ID on its own servers instead. Vercel Web Analytics also counts visits for everyone and never sets cookies.
Your choice lasts 6 months, then the banner asks again. To change it now, use (also at the bottom of every page). Withdrawing consent deletes the PostHog, Clarity and GetYourGuide data stored on grandprixpal.com and reloads the page. Cookies on clarity.ms, bing.com and getyourguide.com belong to those companies and can only be removed in your browser settings.
Essential
These keep the site working the way you asked: your cookie choice, ticked checklist items, a closed reminder bar. They stay in your browser, identify nobody, and are set whether or not you accept.

Analytics
Set only after you press Accept. They come from PostHog and Microsoft Clarity (visit measurement and session recordings) and from GetYourGuide, whose script draws the tour widgets and credits bookings to us.

Cookies set after you leave this site
When you click a hotel, flight, tour or hospitality link, you land on Expedia, GetYourGuide or P1 Travel. P1 Travel links pass through Partnerize, the affiliate network that records the click so the booking is credited to us. Those companies set their own cookies on their own domains, under their own cookie policies. We cannot see or control them, and they are not covered by the choice you make here.
How we use the data these collect is in the privacy policy.
