Essential to make the site work: your login, language choice, form security (CSRF), basic map tiles (OpenStreetMap, OpenSeaMap, RWS water/depth, Open-Meteo weather) and the typeface of our house style (from our own server). No tracking cookies. We also measure the page loading speed anonymously here (RUM): purely speed figures to our own server, without a cookie, without an IP address and without any personal data, so we can track down a slow page.

Google Analytics 4 (Consent Mode v2) and our own, self-hosted Matomo: counting which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site. We also remember which site or campaign brought you here, so we can see which channels lead to a booking request. IP address anonymised, no advertising tracking, no data sold to third parties. Fully opt-in: without your permission nothing is sent to Google or Matomo, not even a cookieless ping.

- • Matomo (self-hosted, cookieless, IP-anonymous): page view counter on our own server
- • bve_hk (origin, 90 days): which site or campaign brought you here; included with a booking request
