Hyperlinks

This website contains links to third-party websites (booking platforms, service providers, official websites, tourist offices…). These links are provided for information purposes only. The publisher has no control over these websites and accepts no liability for their content or availability.

Personal data

This website does not collect any personal data for commercial purposes. The trip planner (“My list”) is saved locally in your browser (localStorage). If you create an account (optional), your planner may be synchronised via the Firebase service (Google) so that you can access it on your devices; you may erase it or delete your account at any time from your Account page. No registration form or newsletter is ever mandatory.

Geolocation: the “Nearby tool” feature (Map page) uses your browser's geolocation, only after your explicit permission. Your position is processed locally, in real time, to display places and activities near you; it is not sent to a server, stored, or linked to your planner or your account. You may withdraw this permission at any time in your browser settings.

Third-party services may place cookies on your browser when you visit this website: Google Analytics — audience measurement; Google AdSense — personalised advertising; Stay22 — accommodation comparison; Google Maps — maps and directions. Base maps (Leaflet, OpenFreeMap, OpenStreetMap) and boundaries (geo.api.gouv.fr) do not place cookies.

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to access, rectify and erase data concerning you. To exercise these rights, contact: contact@cookiecat.fr.
