GrandTour Holidays and Destinations Management (Pvt) Ltd
Cookie Policy
Effective date: 4 October 2026
This page explains which cookies and similar technologies this site uses, what each is for, and how to change your choice. Essential cookies are always on because the site needs them. Analytics and marketing cookies are only set if you agree to them, and you can change your mind at any time.
1What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser so that it can remember something between one page and the next, or between visits. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, do the same job in a different place. On this page “cookies” covers both.
Some cookies are set by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies). Others are set by another company whose service the site uses (third-party cookies).
2How we group them
Essential — always active. Needed for the site to work and to protect it. They are not used for analytics or advertising.
Analytics — optional, off until you agree. Help us understand how visitors use the site and where they come from.
Marketing — optional, off until you agree. Used for advertising, conversion tracking and remarketing.
On your first visit a banner asks for your choice. You can accept all cookies, reject the optional ones, or choose category by category. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and the site works the same either way.
3Essential cookies
These are always on. Some are only created when you use the feature they belong to.
gt_consent
Remembers your cookie choice so we do not ask on every page. It holds only which optional categories you allowed and the date you chose — nothing that identifies you. Set on this domain; kept for six months, after which we ask again.
googtrans
Created only if you pick a language with the language button. Records that language so the rest of the site stays in it. Set on this domain.
gt_lang
The same language choice, kept in your browser’s local storage so it survives closing the tab.
__GT_TRANSLATE_LANGS
Set by GTranslate, the translation service, to remember the list of available languages.
Choosing English again removes the three translation entries. Translation uses GTranslate, which in turn uses Google Translate, and sends the text of the page you are reading to Google in order to translate it. Nothing loads until you press the language button.
Protecting the enquiry forms
Our forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which tells genuine enquiries from automated spam. It loads the first time you type into a form — not before — and not at all on pages without a form. reCAPTCHA sets its own cookie on google.com and collects information about the request, including your IP address and how you interact with the page, in order to score it. This is done by Google and is covered by the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service linked beneath each form.
Because it protects the site, reCAPTCHA is treated as essential and is not affected by your cookie choice.
4Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used: which pages are read, roughly where visitors come from, and how they found us. It is connected through our Google tag rather than installed separately. Only if you allow Analytics does it set:
_ga
Distinguishes one browser from another, so visits can be counted without knowing who you are. Set on this domain; kept for about 13 months.
_ga_64GJGK0WWY
Keeps track of the current visit for our Google Analytics property. Set on this domain; kept for about 13 months.
5Marketing cookies
We advertise with Google Ads. Our Google Ads tags tell us whether an advert led to an enquiry (conversion tracking) and let us show our adverts to people who have visited this site before (remarketing). An enquiry counts as a conversion when you reach the thank-you page after sending one. Only if you allow Marketing does it set:
_gcl_au
Set by the Google Ads conversion linker to connect a visit to a later enquiry. Set on this domain; kept for 90 days.
With Marketing allowed, Google may also use cookies on its own domains for advertising. Those are set and controlled by Google, and Google describes them in its own cookie policy, linked below.
6If you reject optional cookies
Google Tag Manager, the service that loads our Google tags, runs on every page. With analytics and marketing turned off, the Google tags still load but run in a restricted mode, called Consent Mode: they do not set or read analytics or advertising cookies, and advertising click identifiers are removed.
In that mode Google may still receive limited signals without cookies — for example that a page was viewed or that an enquiry was completed — along with the technical details any web request carries, such as your IP address and browser type. Without cookies, these signals cannot be linked to your later visits. Your choice is passed to Google on every page.
If you turn a category off after allowing it, we remove the cookies listed above for that category from this domain straight away. Cookies Google has set on its own domains can only be removed by you, from your browser or your Google account settings.
7Third-party services
Google Tag Manager — loads our Google tags on every page. It does not set cookies of its own.
Google Analytics — analytics, only with your consent.
Google Ads — conversion tracking and remarketing, only with your consent.
Google reCAPTCHA — spam protection on the enquiry forms; essential.
GTranslate and Google Translate — translation, only when you pick a language; essential.
Links to WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X and TripAdvisor are plain links. Nothing from those services loads on this site; their own policies apply once you follow a link to them.
