Welcome to EcoWayfarers. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

There are different types of cookies:

  • First-party cookies: These are set by the website you are visiting. Only that website can read them.
  • Third-party cookies: These are set by a different organization to the owner of the website you are visiting. For example, the website might use a third-party analytics company that will set its own cookies to perform this service.
  • Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser's cookie file only until you close your browser. They are used for purposes such as remembering items in a shopping cart.
  • Persistent cookies: These remain in your browser's cookie file for a longer period, even after you close the browser. They are used for remembering your preferences and settings on a returning visit.

How EcoWayfarers Uses Cookies

At EcoWayfarers, we use cookies for several important reasons to enhance your experience and provide our services effectively. Our use of cookies falls into several categories:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable you to navigate around the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas, remembering your login details, and ensuring the basic functionality of the site. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. For example, if you are a registered user, essential cookies help us remember that you are logged in, preventing you from having to log in on every new page.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with our site, which helps us optimize content and navigation.

Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, these cookies can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Targeting/Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often, targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.

  • Google Analytics: For website traffic analysis and reporting.
  • Social Media Plugins: Such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, which may set cookies to allow you to share content or to track your activity across their platforms.
  • Advertising Partners: Companies like Google AdSense or other ad networks that use cookies to deliver personalized ads.
