1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Templar Knights Tours uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at www.templarknightstours.com (the "Website").

In accordance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended), we respect your privacy and provide you with full control over the non-essential cookies used during your browsing experience.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, memorise preferences, and provide analytics information to website owners.

Cookies can be:

  • Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.

  • Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.

  • First-Party Cookies: Set directly by our website (via the Square space platform).

  • Third-Party Cookies: Set by external partners and service providers (e.g., analytics services, payment processors, embedded maps, or video players).

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

  1. Enable core website functionality and security.

  2. Remember your preferences (such as cookie consent choices).

  3. Analyse visitor traffic and behaviour to improve our tour services and website navigation.

  4. Integrate third-party features (e.g., interactive maps, social sharing, and booking widgets).

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

Under EU law, non-essential cookies require your explicit, prior opt-in consent before being stored on your device. We categorise our cookies as follows:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. They enable core functions such as network management, security, accessibility, and session handling. Because the Website cannot function properly without them, EU law permits us to set these without your consent.

  • Squarespace Core Cookies: Includes session identifier cookies, CSRF protection, and security tokens.

  • Cookie Consent Tracker: Stores your cookie banner preferences so we do not repeatedly ask for consent.

B. Functional & Performance Cookies (Optional)

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as language or regional preferences) and provide enhanced, personalised features.

  • Square space Functional Cookies: Remembers preferences, cart details, or user input in booking forms.

C. Analytics & Statistics Cookies (Optional)

These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised information about how visitors use our Website—such as which pages are visited most often and if error messages occur. This helps us improve website performance and user experience.

  • Square space Analytics: Tracks site traffic, visitor origins, and page views in an aggregated format.

  • Google Analytics (if applicable): Measures traffic and user engagement. (Note: IP anonymization is enabled).

D. Marketing & Third-Party Cookies (Optional)

These cookies may be set through our Website by third-party services (e.g., embedded Google Maps, YouTube video embeds, or social media sharing buttons). They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content or ads on other sites.
