Cookies
Last updated: 9 September 2026
Two cookies, both needed to make signing in and opening an album work. No tracking, no analytics, no advertising.
The short version
This site uses two cookies, both strictly necessary to sign in and to open a tour album. There is no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind.
Because both are strictly necessary, EU law does not require us to ask permission for them. There is nothing here to opt out of.
Every cookie we set
Both are httpOnly, which means JavaScript on the page cannot read them. The session cookie identifies the signed-in account; the gallery cookie holds only the ids of the albums you have opened. Neither contains your name, your email address or anything about what you looked at.
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| lapland_session | Keeps a guide or administrator signed in. Only set after signing in. | 12 hours |
| lapland_gallery | Remembers that you entered the right access code, so the album stays open while you browse. | 3 hours |
Stored in your browser, not cookies
Two small things are kept in your browser’s local storage rather than in cookies. They never leave your device and are not sent to us with any request.
- language — the language you picked, so the site opens in it next time.
- cookie_consent_v1 — the fact that you dismissed the cookie notice, so it stops reappearing.
What we do not do
This is a deliberate choice, and it is why the cookie notice on this site is a short one.
- No Google Analytics, or any other analytics.
- No advertising cookies, no retargeting, no social media pixels.
- No third-party scripts of any kind: everything the page loads comes from this site.
- No profiling and no automated decisions about you.
Payment pages
When you pay, you are taken to a page hosted by Stripe, our payment provider. That page is theirs and sets its own cookies under its own policy. We do not control it and receive nothing from it beyond confirmation that the payment succeeded.
Removing them
Signing out deletes the session cookie. The gallery cookie expires on its own after three hours, and clearing your browser data removes both, along with the two local storage entries. Removing them signs you out; nothing else about the site changes.
