What is used
WordPress sign-inSession and security cookies needed when you sign in, keep your account secure or sign out.
Cloudflare TurnstileSecurity technology used on registration, contribution and reporting forms to distinguish genuine visitors from automated abuse. It may use essential browser storage during a challenge.
IONOS hostingShort-lived security and routing technology may be used to deliver the site reliably and protect the service.
Cookie-free site counts
Canada Hols records daily aggregate counts for page views and broad interactions inside WordPress. This does not set an analytics cookie, create a visitor identifier or build a profile. The counts tell us which routes and planning tools are useful, not who used them. See the privacy notice for the detail.
What is not used
Canada Hols does not load advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, behavioural profiling or third-party or cookie-based audience analytics. OpenStreetMap road tiles and external links make ordinary network requests, but Canada Hols does not use them to create an advertising profile.
Following an Expedia link
Our Expedia links do not load an Expedia widget or tracking script when you read a Canada Hols page. If you choose to follow a link, you leave Canada Hols. Expedia and its referral service may then use cookies or similar technology to attribute bookings and provide their service, subject to their own notices and consent choices. Our own count of that click uses only fixed provider and page-section labels with an accommodation destination or arrival-gateway/search-type label, without browser storage. Flight click counts cover guests where detectable and are sent without account cookies; departure airports and travel dates are not collected by this counter.
Why there is no cookie banner
The browser storage described above is limited to what is needed to provide a sign-in or security feature you request and keep the service available. The aggregate counter does not use browser storage. If we introduce advertising or another non-essential technology, it will be blocked until the required consent choice is available.
Your browser controls
You can remove or block cookies in your browser, but blocking essential session or security technology may prevent sign-in, uploads or reports from working. See the privacy notice for information about personal data and your rights.
