How do we use your enquiry details?

We use your enquiry details to contact you and prepare travel options. Where available, we record a visit-source category and count visits, page views and WhatsApp clicks within this site. A random browser identifier expires at the end of the day to reduce duplicate counts, without linking it to your name. Previous-day deduplication records are deleted daily while aggregate totals remain. This measurement sends no data to an external analytics service and does not store full referring URLs or search terms. We respect browser signals requesting no tracking.
