Cookie policy
Last updated 14 September 2026. Applies to Go Dive Trips (https://godivetrips.com). Operated by Simon Hansen, Thailand. Questions: hello@godivetrips.com.
In short: this site sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics. It stores two small preferences in your browser (your currency and your cookie choice). Photos from Google Maps and posts from Instagram or TikTok load only after you click "Allow"; those services then set their own cookies. You can change your choice any time with the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
1. What we store ourselves
Neither item below is a cookie in the technical sense: they are localStorage entries that stay in your browser and are never sent to us. They are strictly necessary for a function you asked for, so they need no consent under the ePrivacy Directive and its national versions (for example the Swedish Electronic Communications Act).
| Name | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
tds-consent-v1 | Remembers whether you allowed third-party embeds, and when | Until you clear your browser or click "Cookie settings" |
| currency preference | Remembers the currency you chose for prices | Until you clear your browser |
2. Third-party content you can allow
Some operator pages can show the operator's own photos from Google Maps and their Instagram or TikTok posts. This content is not loaded by default. If you click "Allow", your browser connects directly to the provider, which receives your IP address and can set cookies under its own policy:
| Provider | Used for | Their policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google LLC — Maps JavaScript API / Places | Operator photos and reviews summary from the operator's Google Business Profile | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. — Instagram embeds | An operator's public Instagram post | privacycenter.instagram.com |
| TikTok Technology Ltd. — TikTok embeds | A public TikTok video | tiktok.com/legal |
Choosing "Essential only" keeps all of this off; the page shows a short note where the embed would have been, with a link to the operator's page on that service instead.
3. Payment pages
Deposits are paid on a page hosted by Stripe (stripe.com). Stripe sets cookies there for fraud prevention and to run the checkout; they are covered by Stripe's cookie policy, not ours. Nothing from Stripe loads on our own pages.
4. What we do not do
- No Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Hotjar or any other tracking or advertising script.
- No fingerprinting. Fonts are served from our own domain, not from Google.
- No "legitimate interest" pre-ticked boxes: embeds are off until you say yes, and "Essential only" is as easy to click as "Allow".
5. Changing your mind
Click Cookie settings (also in the footer of every page). It clears your stored choice and shows the banner again. To remove the providers' own cookies, use your browser's site-data settings for google.com, instagram.com or tiktok.com.
