Cookie Policy
Last updated:
This page explains what we store in your browser, why, and how you can change your choice. It complements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies (and what we actually use)
Cookies are small text files set by a website in your browser. Modern sites also use related technologies like localStorage and sessionStorage for the same purpose. Irish ePrivacy law treats them the same way and requires consent for any storage that isn't strictly necessary.
Today, this website does not set any third-party cookies and uses only one local storage entry — to remember your cookie consent choice. The table below is the full inventory.
2. Cookie and storage inventory
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| alpacawalks.consent.v1 | localStorage | Remembers which cookie categories you accepted or rejected so we don't ask again on every visit. | Until you clear browser data | Strictly necessary |
We do not currently use:
- Google Analytics or any analytics provider;
- Marketing or advertising cookies of any kind;
- Social-media tracking pixels;
- Third-party fonts loaded from a CDN (our fonts are self-hosted).
If we ever add any of these, this page will be updated with the full details before we activate them.
3. Changing your choices
You can re-open the cookie banner at any time from the footer — it's the "Cookie preferences" link — or use the button below:
4. Browser-level controls
All modern browsers let you block or delete cookies and localStorage at the browser level. The official guides are:
Blocking strictly-necessary storage may stop the cookie banner from remembering your choice, but the rest of the site will continue to work.
5. Changes to this policy
We update this page whenever the list of cookies or storage actually changes — not on a fixed schedule. The most recent change date is shown at the top.
