Always active

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They let us remember details about your visit - such as your language preference, booking progress, and session state - so the experience stays consistent as you move through the site. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser; others remain until they expire or you clear them manually.

Why we use cookies

UpCityWalks uses cookies to make the website work and to improve the experience over time:

  • Booking flow: Cookies keep track of your selection as you move through checkout. Without them, your basket cannot be maintained between pages.
  • Authentication: When you log in or continue as a guest, cookies hold your session securely and are cleared when you sign out.
  • Language and preferences: Functional cookies remember the language you selected and any tour filters you applied, so you do not have to repeat yourself.
  • Usage analysis: Performance cookies tell us which pages visitors use most, how long they stay, and whether any errors occur. We use this to improve the site.
  • Guide referrals: If you arrive via a guide referral link, a cookie stores that attribution so your guide receives credit for the booking.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies on UpCityWalks are set by third-party services. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous - it is not linked to you personally. If you opt out of performance cookies, Google Analytics will not be activated. You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser extension at any time.

How to manage cookies

You can update your preferences at any time using the controls at the top of this page. You can also manage cookies through your browser - most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies via the Settings or Preferences menu.

Please note: blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the booking process from working correctly.
