With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 and, on the ticket page, Google Tag Manager with Google Ads conversion measurement (Google Ireland Ltd., Dublin, Ireland) to understand how visitors use the website and to measure bookings, including across our booking pages. If you consent to campaign measurement, advertising click IDs (for example gclid) and UTM parameters are stored in a cookie for up to 90 days so that a booking can be attributed to the ad. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies and processes usage data such as pages viewed, device and approximate location; IP addresses are not stored by Google Analytics 4.
