4. Advertising cookies

Consent for cookie use
There are no cookies on this site that require your consent — we only use necessary and functional technologies, without which the site could not work correctly or provide the features you request (e.g. region selection). On your first visit, you will see an informational banner with a "Got it" button — it does not enable or disable any technology, it simply confirms that you have seen this information.
How to manage cookies
On our site: clicking "Got it" stores the fact that you've seen the banner, for 20 years. You can clear the vanlife_cookie_consent cookie in your browser to see the banner again.
In your browser: you can delete or block cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please note: deleting necessary cookies may cause the site to malfunction.
