Cookie policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember preferences, and — if you allow it — understand how the site is used.

Who is responsible?

This website is operated by Surf & Shanti (the “Host”) and runs on the Gather platform (Gatheround Ltd). Essential platform cookies may be set by Gather to keep the site secure and functional. Optional analytics cookies are only used if you choose Accept all.

Essential cookies

These are needed for the site to work. They do not require consent under UK GDPR / PECR when used strictly for the service you request.

• Security and session cookies for booking and account flows on the Gather platform
• Remembering your cookie preference on this Surf & Shanti site (stored in your browser)
• Load balancing and basic infrastructure needed to serve pages

Analytics & marketing cookies (optional)

Only set if you click Accept all. They help us understand visits and, where connected, support email or ads tooling.

• Google Analytics (if enabled for this host) — page views and usage
• Meta Pixel (if enabled) — visit and conversion measurement
• Klaviyo (if enabled) — on-site behaviour for the Host’s email list tools

How to manage cookies
