Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Nectar Safaris uses them on our website (nectarsafaris.com), and what choices you have. We want to be fully transparent about how we collect information when you visit our site. Last Updated: June 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are saved on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, remember your preferences, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used. Cookies are not harmful. They cannot run programs or carry viruses. Think of them like a website\'s way of remembering you between visits — similar to how a local shop might remember your usual order.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Make our website work correctly and load quickly
• Remember your preferences (such as language or currency settings)
• Understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it
• Track where our website visitors come from (e.g., Google search, social media)
• Help us show relevant information to people who have visited our site before

3. Types of Cookies We Use

These are necessary for our website to work. Without them, parts of the site may not function properly. These cookies do not collect any personal information and cannot be switched off. They cover:

• Session management (keeping the site working during your visit)
• Security cookies (protecting our site and your data)
• Form submission functionality

3.2 Analytics Cookies — Can Be Disabled

These cookies help us understand how people use our website. They collect information anonymously — we cannot identify you personally from this data. We use this information to improve our website over time.

• Google Analytics — tracks page views, session duration, and traffic sources
• Information collected: pages visited, time spent, device type, approximate location (country/city)

You can opt out of Google Analytics at: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

3.3 Preference Cookies — Can Be Disabled

These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience — for example, your preferred language or currency. They are not essential but make the site more convenient for you.

3.4 Marketing Cookies — Requires Your Consent

If we run advertising campaigns (such as Google Ads or Facebook Ads), marketing cookies help us understand which ads led you to our site. They also allow us to show relevant ads to past visitors on other websites. These cookies are only active if you give your consent, and you can withdraw consent at any time.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use. These include:

• Google Analytics — website analytics and visitor statistics
• Google Ads — if we run paid advertising campaigns
• Facebook Pixel — if we run Facebook advertising

These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to read them if you would like to understand how they use data.
