Clear choices about cookies
This page explains what cookies are, how HomeToThere may use them, and the choices available to you.
Last updated: 18 July 2026
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website may place on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone.
Cookies can help a website remember information about your visit, keep important features working, protect the service, or understand how the website is being used.
Similar technologies, such as local storage, may perform a comparable function within your browser. In this policy, the word cookies includes these similar technologies where appropriate.
How HomeToThere uses cookies
HomeToThere aims to use as few cookies as reasonably possible.
Cookies may be used to:
- keep essential website features working;
- remember a choice you have made;
- protect the website against misuse or security threats;
- maintain a secure session while you use the service;
- remember your cookie preferences; and
- understand how the website is used, where optional analytics are enabled.
We do not use cookies to sell personal information.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are needed for the website or a feature you have requested to work correctly.
They may support functions such as:
- website security;
- fraud and misuse prevention;
- session management;
- saving information temporarily while a page is used; and
- remembering your cookie choices.
Because these cookies are necessary to provide the service, they may be used without asking for consent. They are not used for advertising.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use HomeToThere. For example, they may show:
- which pages are visited;
- which type of device or browser is being used;
- how visitors move through the website;
- whether a page or feature causes an error; and
- general patterns of website use.
This information helps us improve the service and identify technical problems.
Where the law requires consent, optional analytics cookies will not be placed unless you have made a clear choice to allow them.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies may remember optional choices that make the website more convenient or personal to use.
They might, for example, remember a display preference or a setting selected during an earlier visit.
Where a functional cookie is not essential to provide a feature you have requested, it will only be used where the necessary choice or consent has been given.
Advertising cookies
HomeToThere does not currently use cookies to create advertising profiles or to follow visitors across unrelated websites.
If this changes in the future, this policy and the website's cookie controls will be updated before such cookies are used.
First-party and third-party cookies
A first-party cookie is placed by HomeToThere itself.
A third-party cookie is placed by another organisation whose service is used on the website, such as an analytics, security, video, mapping, or embedded-content provider.
Where third-party services are introduced, we will aim to explain what they do and whether they place cookies or use similar technologies.
Third parties are responsible for their own privacy and cookie practices.
Your cookie choices
Where optional cookies are used, you should be able to accept or decline them through the cookie controls shown on the website.
Refusing optional cookies should not prevent you from using the main HomeToThere planning service. However, some optional features may not work in exactly the same way.
You may change or withdraw your choice at any time through the cookie settings provided on the website, where available.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of anything done before consent was withdrawn.
Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings.
The precise steps differ between browsers and devices. Your browser's help or privacy section should explain how to:
- see which cookies have been stored;
- delete existing cookies;
- block all or selected cookies; and
- control website permissions and local storage.
Blocking every cookie may affect the operation of some websites and may prevent essential features from working correctly.
How long cookies remain
Some cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are removed when you close your browser. These are commonly called session cookies.
Other cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them. These are commonly called persistent cookies.
We aim to keep the lifetime of each cookie no longer than reasonably necessary for its purpose.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as HomeToThere develops, as the technologies used by the website change, or when legal requirements are updated.
The latest version will always appear on this page together with the date it was last updated.
