How we use cookies
Last updated: 30 October 2026
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work. Others help us understand what's useful, and those only run if you say yes.
Here's everything Getaway uses, what it's for and how long it sticks around. You can change your mind whenever you like.

A note on anonymous stats
Vercel's tools don't use cookies or store anything on your device. UK law lets sites run simple, anonymous statistics like these without asking first, as long as you can switch them off. To do that, open your cookie settings and turn off ‘Anonymous site stats’.
Turning cookies off in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the one that remembers your choices, we'll ask you again on your next visit.
