If you click an affiliate link, the destination website may place its own cookies or use tracking information to record that you arrived from Saltwater Dreaming. We may receive a commission if you later make a purchase or booking, normally at no additional cost to you.

7. Cookies currently detected
The list below is generated from the Complianz cookie scan and Cookiedatabase.org. It provides more detailed information about cookies and services currently detected, including their purpose and expected retention period.
The list may change when website services, plugins or third-party integrations are added, removed or updated.
8. Your consent choices
When you first visit the website, the cookie banner allows you to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookie categories.
Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent you from reading the main website content. However, some features such as maps, videos, social-media content, advertising, search tools or review widgets may not work until the relevant category is accepted.
Your selection is stored by Complianz so that the website can remember your choice. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the controls below or the permanent cookie-preferences control displayed on the website.
9. Google Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode to communicate your cookie choices to supported Google services.
Google tags may adjust their behaviour according to whether you have granted or denied consent for analytics storage, advertising storage, advertising personalisation and advertising user data.
Google Consent Mode does not replace the cookie banner or your right to choose. Your selection in the Complianz banner remains the main control for granting or refusing consent on this website.

The exact controls depend on the browser and device you use. Instructions are normally available in the browser’s Privacy, Security or Help section.
