Cookie Policy
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies connected with Orlando Holiday Planner, why they may be used and how you can manage them.
Last updated: September 2026Cookie use at a glance
You do not need an account to read Orlando Holiday Planner. The website uses normal technical resources to display and protect its pages, and its public code includes Microsoft Clarity for site measurement and user-experience insights. Affiliate providers may use referral technology after you follow an identified affiliate link.
Essential technology
Some storage may be needed for security, page delivery or remembering a privacy choice.
Microsoft Clarity
Clarity can measure page use and interactions. Its cookies can connect activity across pages and visits.
Affiliate referrals
A provider or affiliate network may record that you arrived through an Orlando Holiday Planner link.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by a website or service in your browser. They can remember a setting, recognise a browser or connect actions during a visit. A session cookie normally ends with the browsing session; a persistent cookie can remain until its expiry date or until you delete it.
Similar technologies include scripts, tracking pixels, local storage and referral identifiers added to links. The rules can apply to storing information on, or accessing information from, a phone, tablet or computer even when the technology is not called a cookie.
Technology categories used or encountered
Operation, security and preferences
These technologies may deliver requested pages, balance website traffic, protect the site or remember a cookie choice. A technology is not automatically essential simply because it is useful to the website owner.
Microsoft Clarity
Clarity can collect page views, device and browser details, approximate location, navigation and interaction information to produce reports and session insights.
Referral attribution
Affiliate links may contain an identifier. After you click, the provider or network may store or access information to connect a later purchase or booking with that referral.
Technology on another service
If a page contains an embedded map, video, booking tool or other external feature, that provider may use its own technology when the feature loads or you interact with it.
How Microsoft Clarity is used
Orlando Holiday Planner's public page code includes Microsoft Clarity. Clarity provides aggregated reports and session-based insights that can help identify popular content, navigation patterns and usability problems.
Depending on consent and Clarity's configuration, information may include page addresses, clicks, scrolling, navigation, device and browser details, approximate location and pseudonymous identifiers. Clarity may alter or mask some captured content, but visitors should not enter confidential information into a page unless it is genuinely needed.
Consent-limited reporting: Microsoft states that Clarity changes how it reports visits when a UK visitor has not provided the required cookie consent. If valid consent is provided, Clarity cookies can connect page views into sessions and recognise a returning browser.
Microsoft controls its own service infrastructure and third-party cookies. Read Microsoft's Clarity cookie information and the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Microsoft Clarity cookie inventory
These are the cookies Microsoft identifies for typical Clarity use. A cookie is set only when the browser, consent status and Clarity configuration allow it. Durations are typical maximum periods and can change when Microsoft changes its service.
| Cookie | Provider and type | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|

Microsoft Third-party |

Indicates whether the Microsoft browser identifier should be refreshed. | Up to 7 days |
MUID |

Live settings take priority: your browser's storage view and the site's current consent tool show what is actually present for your visit. A cookie may not appear if it is blocked, expired, not needed on that page or awaiting a valid consent signal.
Affiliate links and third-party websites
Some links are affiliate links. They may include a referral identifier in the web address. If you follow one, the relevant provider or affiliate network may use cookies or other tracking to determine whether a qualifying purchase or booking followed the referral.
Those third parties decide the names, purposes and durations of technologies used on their own websites. Orlando Holiday Planner does not take payment, complete the booking or control the provider's privacy choices. Review the provider's cookie and privacy information before continuing.
A qualifying transaction may earn Orlando Holiday Planner commission at no extra cost to you. Not every external link is an affiliate link. Read the complete Affiliate Disclosure.
How to manage your choices
Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent you from reading the site's planning guides, although individual external or embedded features may work differently.
Use the website's privacy control
If a cookie banner or privacy-settings control is displayed, use it to accept, reject or change the available categories. A choice can be refreshed if the site's technology or purposes change.
Use your browser settings
Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies and site data. Blocking all storage can affect preferences and website functions.
Check the provider after leaving
Use the privacy controls offered by a ticket seller, hotel, travel company, affiliate network or embedded service for technology on its own site.
A policy is not a consent control. Where consent is required, the relevant technology must wait for a valid choice and that choice must be communicated to the provider. If you cannot find a working settings control on this website, please report it using the contact details below.
Consent and permitted exceptions
UK rules require clear information about storage and access technologies. Consent is required unless a relevant exception applies. Strictly necessary technology may be used without consent when it is essential to provide a service requested by the visitor.
Current UK rules also contain limited exceptions for certain statistical, appearance and other specified purposes. Each exception has conditions and may require a simple way to object. Orlando Holiday Planner should rely on an exception only where the specific technology and its use meet those conditions.
You can read the ICO guidance on storage and access technologies.
Policy reviews and changes
This policy may be updated when the website adds, removes or changes a technology, when a provider changes its cookies or when relevant guidance changes. The date at the top identifies the published version.
A fresh cookie scan should be completed after major WordPress, analytics, advertising, embedded-content, consent-platform or affiliate changes. Newly identified technology should be added to the live inventory without waiting for a routine review.
Cookie Policy FAQs
Do I need to accept analytics cookies to read the guides?
No. The planning guides should remain readable when optional analytics cookies are rejected. Some embedded or external features may behave differently.
Why does Orlando Holiday Planner use Microsoft Clarity?
Clarity can show aggregated page use and interaction patterns that help identify navigation, content and usability problems.
Does an affiliate link set a cookie immediately?
The link may contain a referral identifier. A provider or network may use tracking when you click or arrive on its website. The exact behaviour depends on that third party and your privacy choices.
Can I delete cookies that are already stored?
Yes. Browser settings normally let you view and delete cookies or other site data. Deletion does not prevent a permitted cookie from being set again during a later visit.
Why might my browser show a cookie not listed here?
Technology can vary by page, feature, location, browser, consent choice and provider update. Please report an unlisted cookie so the site's use and inventory can be reviewed.
