Cookie policy
Last updated 31 July 2026
Family Day Out carries no advertising and sets nothing that follows you to other sites. It does measure visits with Google Analytics, but only if you agree, and nothing from Google is loaded until you do. This is the whole list of what can be stored.
Your choice
What is stored
| Name | Kind | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
fdo.saved | Local storage | Remembers the ideas you saved with the heart, so they are there when you come back. It holds listing identifiers, not anything about you. | Until you remove them or clear your browser storage |
fdo.consent | Local storage | Remembers whether you agreed to analytics, so you are asked once rather than on every page. | Until you clear it or ask to be asked again |
_ga, _ga_G-75168T5EJF | Cookie, set by Google | Google Analytics. Tells one visit apart from another so we can see which ideas people find useful. Only set if you agree, and removed if you change your mind. | Up to two years, or until you turn analytics off |
Why you are asked
Under the ePrivacy Regulations consent is needed before storing anything on your device that is not strictly necessary for something you asked for. Analytics is not necessary, so you are asked first and the Google tag is not requested at all until you answer. Saving an idea is something you asked for by tapping the heart, remembering your answer is remembering your own choice: neither needs consent.
Saying no is one button, the same size as saying yes, and you can change your mind at any time above. Nothing is withheld either way: the site works exactly the same.
Other organisations
Some files are fetched by your browser from elsewhere, which lets those organisations see your IP address. They are not cookies, but they are worth knowing about:
- Photographs come from the tourism providers that publish the listings, on EU infrastructure.
- Map tiles come from CARTO and OpenStreetMap, only once you open the map view.
- Google Analytics, but only after you agree. It is provided by Google Ireland Limited and measurement data may be handled outside the EU under Google’s data transfer terms.
Typefaces are served from this site, not from Google, so simply reading a page contacts nobody else.
Clearing what is stored
Everything above is removed by clearing site data for this site in your browser settings. Removing your saved ideas one at a time is quicker: open your saved ideas and use the heart on any card.
