1. Overview
Cookies are small text files a website can store in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and tracking pixels. The public Thandolwami website is designed to work without advertising, profiling, or cross-site tracking cookies.
A privacy banner appears when you first enter the website in a browser session. You can decline or allow anonymous analytics. The banner remains hidden after your choice until that session ends.
3. Anonymous website analytics
If you select “Allow anonymous analytics,” we use Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregated page views, referrers, approximate location, device type, browser, and operating system. The analytics script is not loaded when you select “No anonymous analytics.” According to Vercel, this service does not use cookies, does not associate page views with a person or IP address, and resets its visitor hash each day. We do not send names, email addresses, message contents, or custom personal-data events to analytics.
Read the Vercel Analytics privacy information.
4. External services
The contact page automatically loads an embedded Google Map. Visiting that page connects your browser directly to Google, which may process technical information and use cookies under its own policies. This happens independently of your anonymous-analytics choice in our banner.
Booking, social-media, WhatsApp, and future payment links take you to separate services such as NightsBridge, Meta, Google, or Stripe. Those services may use their own cookies after you open them. Their policies and preference controls apply on their websites.
5. Your controls
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the strictly necessary preview cookie affects only authorised maintenance access; the normal public website remains usable. Your banner choice is cleared when the browser session ends, so you can choose again in a new session. You can avoid the automatic Google Maps connection by not opening the contact page. Other third-party services are contacted only after you open their external links.
For broader information about our processing, please read the Privacy Policy.
