Cookie Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how curviojollystack.com utilizes cookies and local storage, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used by online publishers to make websites work properly, provide a more responsive user experience, and supply anonymous reporting data to site operators.
In addition to standard cookies, modern web technologies also use local storage (such as browser localStorage) to record preferences locally without transmitting data with every network request.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We organize our cookies and storage mechanisms into three distinct functional categories:
| Category | Purpose | Example | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Core site operation, security, and retaining your cookie choice | curvio_cookie_consent |
Session / Persistent (up to 12 months) |
| Analytics | Anonymous usage metrics to understand popular guides and navigation flow | _ga_anonymous |
Varies (typically 30 days to 2 years) |
| Functional | Remembering interface states, expanded drawer controls, or display preferences | ui_pref_compact |
Varies (typically session to 6 months) |
3. How We Use Cookies on curviojollystack.com
Our primary use of cookies is purely functional. When you choose to accept, reject, or customize your cookies on our bottom banner, we store that decision in your browser's local storage so you are not prompted repeatedly on every page load.
We do not use tracking pixels, invasive third-party cross-site advertising cookies, or behavioral profiling mechanisms. Any analytics tools deployed run with IP anonymization enabled to prevent individual user identification.
4. Managing and Disabling Cookies in Your Browser
You have the complete freedom to control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. If you block all cookies, you will still be able to read all our European travel guides, although some interface conveniences (such as remembering your banner dismissal) will reset each time you close your browser.
Here is how to manage cookie permissions on major modern browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies > choose your preferred blocking level.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection > select Standard, Strict, or Custom.
- Apple Safari (macOS & iOS): Preferences/Settings > Safari > Advanced > Privacy > toggle "Block All Cookies" or "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking".
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
5. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our technology or legal requirements under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and GDPR. Any changes will be published directly on this page with an updated effective date.
