Who we are

Mark the Concierge arranges villa services in Praia da Luz, Lagos and the western Algarve. For anything on this page, email hello@marktheconcierge.com.

What we collect and why

If you accept cookies, we use two tools. Google Analytics tells us anonymously how people use this site — which pages are read, on what devices — so we can improve it. Travelpayouts (loading from emrld.ltd) lets travel brands we recommend recognise that a booking came from us, so we can earn a commission.

If you decline, neither tool loads. The site works exactly the same either way.

How we earn

We're straightforward about money. Some links on this site are affiliate links — if you book through them, the brand pays us a commission at no extra cost to you. Separately, when we arrange services through our local supplier network, the supplier pays us a commission after your booking. You never pay us directly, and prices are never higher because you came through us.

Cookies we use

• Your cookie choice — stored in your browser (localStorage) by us, kept for 12 months, so we don't ask again.
• Google Analytics cookies — only after you accept, used for anonymous usage statistics.
• Travelpayouts and partner cookies — only after you accept, used to attribute bookings to this site.

Your choices

Change your mind any time with Cookie preferences (also in the footer of every page) — it clears your choice and asks again. You can also clear cookies in your browser settings.
