1. What this policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains how Blossom Tours uses cookies, local storage, and comparable technologies on the website. It also explains how optional external content, such as third-party map embeds, is handled before and after you give consent.
2. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. Similar technologies can include local storage or session storage in your browser, and embedded content that exchanges technical information with an external service when it loads.
Some technologies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. Others are optional and should load only after you make an informed choice.
3. What Blossom Tours uses on this website
- Essential consent storage: used to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional external content. This storage is always active because it is necessary to respect your privacy choice.
- Self-hosted fonts: our brand fonts are served locally from this website and do not require third-party font requests.
- Optional external map embeds: OpenStreetMap maps are blocked until you allow external content. If you choose to load them, the external provider may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details.
- First-party form processing: enquiry forms are sent through a Blossom Tours website endpoint rather than a third-party form relay.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: form pages use Turnstile bot protection to help distinguish human submissions from automated abuse. This may involve technical request data needed for verification.
- User-initiated messaging links: when you choose to open WhatsApp, you leave this website and connect directly with WhatsApp under their own terms and privacy rules.
4. Cookie categories we currently use
Essential
This category stores only what is needed to remember your consent settings and maintain core website behaviour. Essential storage cannot be switched off through the consent interface because without it the site cannot remember your choice.
External content
This category controls optional third-party map content. It is off by default. Maps load only if you accept external content through the banner, the settings panel, or the map placeholder itself.
5. What we do not currently use
At the time of this policy review, the current Blossom Tours website does not use marketing cookies, retargeting cookies, advertising pixels, or analytics scripts on the active static site. If that changes in the future, this policy and the consent settings will be updated accordingly before those technologies are activated.
6. How to manage your choice
When you first visit the website, a cookie banner allows you to:
- accept all optional content,
- reject optional content, or
- open detailed settings and choose only what you want to allow.
You can reopen cookie settings at any time from the footer of the website.
7. Browser controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through browser settings. Browser controls can be useful, but they may also affect how parts of the site behave. The Blossom Tours consent setting is the primary tool for managing optional external content on this website.
8. Third-party services connected to this website
- OpenStreetMap: used only for optional map embeds after consent.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: used only on public enquiry forms for anti-bot verification.
- WhatsApp: used only when a visitor actively clicks a WhatsApp link.
These services operate under their own privacy documentation and technical environments.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, applicable law, or third-party services change. If the consent model changes in a meaningful way, we will refresh the consent version and ask visitors to make a new choice.
