Cookies Policy
Last updated: 4 June 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how Weekender ("Weekender") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your choices, and let us understand how the site is used. Some are set by us and some by third parties (such as Google and Hotjar).
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary
Always on, because the site cannot work properly without them. They handle things like keeping your session secure (CSRF protection) and remembering your cookie choices. They do not track you for marketing.
Analytics (set only with your consent)
These help us measure and improve the site. They load only after you accept analytics cookies.
| Provider | Purpose | Example cookies |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Aggregated traffic and usage measurement | _ga, _ga_*, _gid |
| Hotjar | Heatmaps, session insights and product analytics | _hjSessionUser_*, _hjSession_*, _hjIncludedInSessionSample |
Third-party links
When you click an outbound deal, hotel, car or experience link, the destination site (an airline or affiliate partner) may set its own cookies. Those are governed by that company's own cookie and privacy policies, not ours.
Managing cookies
- On Weekender: use our cookie banner to accept or reject non-essential (analytics) cookies. You can change your choice at any time by reopening the cookie settings.
- In your browser: most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site.
- Google Analytics opt-out: install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Hotjar opt-out: follow the instructions on the Hotjar opt-out page.
Consent
We set non-essential cookies (analytics and Hotjar) only after you give consent through our cookie banner, in line with UK PECR and the UK GDPR. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent.
Changes
We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes. The "last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed.
