Frequently Asked Questions
What cookie solutions are supported by FareHarbor?
If you operate in a country in which you implement a cookie consent banner on your website, please be aware that FareHarbor only integrates with the following cookie consent solutions:
- CookiePro
- Complianz
- Cookiebot
- iubenda
- Cookie Law Info (Note: If you want to integrate with Cookie Law Info but their website redirects you to CookieYes, please be advised that FareHarbor does not support integration with CookieYes, only with Cookie Law Info, which is owned by CookieYes. Please also note that while existing Cookie Law Info integrations and banners are still supported, no new integrations with Cookie Law Info are possible.)
If you already integrated with a FareHarbor-supported consent management solution, be aware that you are responsible to ensure that the integration works as expected and the cookies are properly categorized (if this is an option available in your consent management solution setup). You remain fully responsible for your website and any integration on it (like a cookie solution).
What will happen with my tracking data if I integrate with any of the supported consent management solutions?
If you use one of the cookie consent solutions that integrates with FareHarbor, analytics cookies (for example, Google Analytics 4 (GA4)) should only be loaded on the FareHarbor online booking system if your website user consented to it. This is a requirement under EU/UK cookie laws.
What happens if I do not integrate with a cookie consent management solution supported by FareHarbor, or if I do not have a cookie consent solution integrated on my website?
If you do not use one of the above-mentioned solutions or you do not have any cookie solution integrated on your website, end user consent or rejection (if any) regarding the use of cookies on your website/landing page will not be communicated to the FareHarbor online booking system. As a result, the FareHarbor online booking system cannot determine whether or not the end user consented to the use of non-functional cookies, such as analytics cookies.
Accordingly, your cookies (such as GA4) may be loaded without the required end user consent, which may put you at risk of non-compliance with EU/UK privacy law requirements.
Please note that FareHarbor only integrates with the 5 solutions indicated here.
What are the steps I should take to set up the integration with the cookie management solutions and FareHarbor?
Please be aware that you are, and remain, responsible for ensuring that your website and cookie banner comply with applicable laws. FareHarbor cannot assist with or verify your cookie setup.
