Cookies and storage
The short answer
This site sets no cookies. It loads no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts, and it doesn't connect to any other website while you read. The only thing it saves is your packing-list and to-do check marks, in your own browser's storage, so they're still there when you come back.By Kathryn Lyn2 min readReviewed September 2026

These entries never leave your device. We can't see them.
Things that only happen when you choose them
- Sharing: pressing Share opens your own device's share menu, or a link to email, messages, WhatsApp or Facebook. Those services have their own policies once you're there.
- The question form: sends what you type to Kathryn. See the privacy policy.
- Source links: links to cruise lines' own pages take you to their sites and their policies.
Why there's no cookie banner
Cookie banners ask permission to set cookies. This site doesn't set any, so there's nothing to ask. If that ever changes, this page will be updated first and you'll be asked.
