What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They act as a digital memory for our site, helping us remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you interact with our pages so we can continuously improve your user experience.
Cookies do not harm your device or contain viruses, and they do not give us direct access to your personal files or computer.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to ensure that our website operates effectively, securely, and is tailored to your travel planning needs. Specifically, cookies help us:
- Keep our site functioning smoothly so you can browse itineraries, submit trip inquiries, and secure online bookings.
- Remember your choices, such as currency, language, or active search filters.
- Measure website traffic and performance so we can create better route descriptions, guides, and packing advice.
- Deliver relevant travel news, special trek discounts, and promotional offers tailored to your adventure interests.
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies on our site into four main groups:
Essential (Necessary) Cookies
These cookies are mandatory for our website to function properly. They enable fundamental features like site navigation, form submission security (XSRF protection), and secure online booking processes.
- Can you turn them off? No. Disabling essential cookies will render parts of our website unusable (for instance, submitting inquiry forms or making payments).
Analytical and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count site visits, understand traffic sources, and track which trek pages are most popular. They collect aggregated, anonymized data so we can optimize our website layout and ensure speed and accessibility across all devices.
- Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid), Google Tag Manager.
Functionality Cookies
Functional cookies enable our site to remember information that changes the way the site behaves or looks. They store your preferences (such as selected trip filters or currency defaults) so you do not have to re-enter details every time you return.
Targeting and Marketing Cookies
These cookies track your browsing habits on our site to show you relevant advertisements on social media or search platforms. They prevent you from seeing repetitive ads and ensure promotional content aligns with the treks or tours you viewed.
- Examples: Facebook Pixel, Google Ads remarketing tags.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our first-party cookies, trusted third-party service providers may also place cookies on your device when you interact with our website:
- Analytics Services: Providers like Google Analytics help us evaluate overall site usage and performance.
- Payment Gateways: Secure payment processors set session cookies to ensure safe transaction verification when paying for deposit fees or trip balances.
- Embedded Content & Maps: Pages containing embedded Google Maps (for trek route maps) or YouTube videos (for trip highlights) may set cookies managed directly by those providers.
- Social Sharing: Buttons for sharing itineraries on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or TripAdvisor set third-party tracking cookies.
We do not sell your personal browsing data to any third party.
Duration: Session vs. Persistent Cookies
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that remain active only while your browser is open. They automatically delete as soon as you close your browser window.
- Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set duration (ranging from a few days to two years) or until you manually clear them. They recognize you when you return to our site so your preferences remain saved.
Managing and Controlling Your Cookies
You have complete control over how cookies are stored on your device.
On Our Website
When you first visit our website, a Cookie Preferences Banner gives you the choice to Accept All, Accept Essential Only, or customize your choices. You can update or reset your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link located in our website footer.
In Your Web Browser
Most web browsers allow you to modify settings to block, limit, or delete cookies. To adjust these settings, consult the “Help” or “Preferences” section of your browser:
Note: Blocking or deleting essential cookies may affect site navigation and prevent you from completing online bookings or inquiry submissions.
