Cookie Policy

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies that Camp Willingness uses, what each one is for, and how you control them. Some are strictly necessary for the platform to work. The others are optional, and we use them only if you say yes.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website so that it can work properly and remember certain things between requests, such as the fact that you are signed in. A cookie cannot run programs on your device or carry a virus. Your browser's local storage and session storage work in a similar way, and this policy covers them too.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are always on, because the platform cannot work properly without them. They do not need your consent.

• Authentication and session cookie: set when you sign in, it keeps you securely logged in as you move between pages and confirms that requests come from your account. Without it you would have to sign in again on every page.
• Interface preference cookie: remembers a small interface choice, such as whether the sidebar is expanded or collapsed, so the layout matches how you left it.
• Your cookie choice: when you answer our cookie message, your answer is kept in your browser's local storage so that we do not ask you again on every page.
• Things you are part-way through or have closed: answers to a questionnaire you have not sent yet are kept in your browser's session storage until you close the tab, and notices you have closed, such as the one about new camps, are remembered in local storage.

Optional measurement cookies

With your permission only, we use Google Analytics, a measurement tool provided by Google Ireland Limited, and one cookie of our own that remembers which of our Google adverts brought you here. Until you say yes, Google Analytics is not loaded, that cookie is not set, and nothing is sent to Google.

• Google Analytics, on our public pages and in the parent area: counts visits and shows us which pages are used, so that we can improve the site. It also records when you open a camp's booking page, when a new account is set up and when a booking is paid (the camp, and for a paid booking the amount), and we pass new accounts and paid bookings to Google Ads so that we can see which of our adverts lead to bookings. It sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_ followed by a code, which last up to two years. We also use it to show our adverts to people who have visited or used the site; for this, Google may set or read its own advertising cookies under Google's own addresses, such as IDE on doubleclick.net, which lasts up to 13 months.
• Advert click cookie (cw_ad_click), set by camp.willingness.com.mt itself: if you arrive from one of our Google adverts, it remembers the reference Google adds to the advert's link (a click identifier such as a gclid) and when you clicked, for up to 90 days. If you then set up an account, we copy it to your account. If you pay for a booking within those 90 days, in a browser where you have said yes, we attach it to the booking and send it to Google Ads with the date and amount of the booking, so that we can see which of our adverts lead to bookings. It is never set before you say yes, and it is deleted if you say no.

If you are signed in to the parent area and have said yes, we also give Google Analytics a random reference number for your account, so that we can understand how the site is used across your devices, and Google may add you to the lists we use to show our adverts to people who have used our site. We never give Google your name, your email address, or your child's name or details, although the page addresses it records can include internal reference numbers. We do not load any advertising tag or pixel on the site (Google Analytics is the only Google code), and no measurement of any kind runs in staff areas.

If you have said yes, when you open a camp's booking page, after a booking, or when you first set up an account, a short note holding an internal reference number for it is kept in your browser's storage, so that we do not report it to Google twice.

If you say no

Nothing optional is set or stored, Google Analytics is not loaded, no advert click is remembered, and nothing is sent to Google. Everything on the platform works in exactly the same way.

Changing your mind

You can change your answer at any time. Choose Cookie settings at the bottom of our home page, any of our public camp pages or any page of the parent area, on this page, or under Privacy and your data on your profile, to see the cookie message again. If you then choose No thanks, Google Analytics is removed from the page, the advert click cookie is deleted, and nothing more is sent to Google. Cookies Google Analytics set earlier stay on your device until they expire but are no longer read, and you can delete them through your browser settings. A click reference already attached to a booking you paid for before you changed your mind stays with that booking.

How to control cookies in your browser

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you see the cookies stored, delete them, and block them. Blocking the strictly necessary cookies is likely to stop you from signing in or using the platform properly; blocking the optional ones makes no difference to how it works. Help for the main browsers is available in their own support pages, usually under a "Privacy" or "Cookies" setting.

Changes to this policy

If we change the cookies we use, we will update this policy. We will never set an optional cookie without asking you first.
