Cookie Policy

Last updated: 26 September 2026.

SkiDecide keeps tracking to a minimum. This page lists what is stored on your device and how to control it.

Your choice

When you first visit, a banner asks whether to allow analytics cookies. You can accept or refuse, and the trip finder works the same either way. You can change your mind at any time with the button below, which clears your saved choice and shows the banner again.

Necessary storage

These are needed for the site to work and to remember and record your cookie choice, so they are set without asking:

  • WordPress, our hosting environment and security infrastructure may use cookies or similar storage that are strictly necessary for core site operation, administration, security or session handling.
  • surecookie_user_consent (cookie, up to 12 months) and surecookie_preferences (local storage): remember your cookie choice.
  • surecookie_session_id (cookie): a random identifier that links your choice to a record we keep of it, so we can show it was respected.

Analytics (only if you accept)

We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which parts of SkiDecide are used, so we can improve the service. If you accept, it sets two cookies, _ga and _ga_EMR07ECQGX (each lasting up to two years), which let it recognise repeat visits and sessions. We use it only for aggregate statistics. We do not use it to identify you, to build profiles or for advertising. Google acts as our service provider for this, and we have switched off Google’s data-sharing and advertising features for this property. Analytics data is kept for the shortest period available (two months).

If you refuse, or do not choose, no analytics cookies are set. Google Analytics then runs in a restricted mode (Google Consent Mode): nothing is stored on your device, and Google receives only the basic request needed to count a page view, which necessarily includes your IP address, without cookies or a stored identifier.

We also treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as a refusal, and in that case analytics does not run at all.

Advertising and marketing

We do not use advertising or marketing cookies.

Affiliate links

Following a commercial or affiliate link may take you to a third-party website. That provider may set its own cookies under its own policy. SkiDecide does not control third-party cookie choices once you leave this site.

Your choices

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary storage may affect normal site operation.
