Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 15, 2024

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how TripVelora Ventures LLC ("TripVelora," "we," "us," or "our"), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Arizona, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website located at tripvelora.com (the "Site"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, which specific cookies we deploy, and how you can control and manage your cookie preferences.

By continuing to browse or use our Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies as described herein, you may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or navigate away from the Site. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality and performance of the Site and limit your ability to use some features.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. Together, these policies describe the full scope of our data collection and handling practices.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the Internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to website owners. Cookies are created by the web server of the website you visit and are stored in a dedicated folder on your device's hard drive or in your browser's memory.

Each cookie typically contains the name of the domain from which the cookie originated, the lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device), and a unique identifier, usually in the form of a randomly generated number. Cookies can be classified by their origin (first-party or third-party), their duration (session or persistent), and their purpose (essential, analytics, functional, or marketing).

First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, tripvelora.com), while third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period or until you manually delete them. TripVelora uses both first-party and third-party cookies, as well as both session and persistent cookies, as described in detail below.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and JavaScript tags. These technologies serve similar purposes to cookies and are subject to the same controls and preferences described in this policy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

TripVelora uses several categories of cookies on our Site. Each category serves a distinct purpose, and together they help us provide you with a secure, functional, and personalized browsing experience. Below is a detailed description of each category and the specific cookies we use.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also called strictly necessary cookies) are required for the basic operation of our Site. Without these cookies, the Site cannot function properly, and certain features would be unavailable. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without significantly impairing your ability to use the Site.

  • Session Identifier Cookie: This cookie assigns a unique session ID to your browser when you visit our Site. It allows our server to maintain your session state as you navigate between pages, ensuring that forms retain your input, navigation menus function correctly, and page requests are handled in the proper order. This cookie expires when you close your browser.
  • Cookie Consent Cookie: When you interact with our cookie consent banner and make a selection (accept or decline non-essential cookies), this cookie stores your preference so that we do not display the banner on subsequent visits. This cookie persists for twelve (12) months from the date of your last interaction with the banner.
  • Security Cookie: This cookie helps protect the Site against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and other security threats. It validates that form submissions and other sensitive requests originate from our Site and not from unauthorized external sources. This cookie is regenerated with each new session.
  • Load Balancer Cookie: This cookie ensures that your requests are consistently routed to the same server during your browsing session, which helps maintain performance and prevents errors that could occur if requests were randomly distributed across multiple servers. This cookie expires at the end of your session.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting and reporting information about browsing behavior. The data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify individual users. We use this information to improve the design, content, and functionality of our Site and to measure the effectiveness of our content and marketing efforts.

  • Google Analytics (_ga): This cookie is set by Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. It is used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. This cookie is included in each page request on our Site and is used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data for our analytics reports. It persists for two (2) years from the date it is set or last updated.
  • Google Analytics (_gid): This cookie is also set by Google Analytics and is used to distinguish users and track page views within a single browsing session. It stores and updates a unique value for each page visited, allowing us to understand how many pages users view during a single session and which pages are most popular. This cookie expires twenty-four (24) hours after it is set.
  • Google Analytics (_gat): This cookie is used to throttle the request rate to Google Analytics, limiting the collection of data on high-traffic sites. It helps ensure that our analytics data is collected efficiently without overloading the Google Analytics servers. This cookie expires one (1) minute after it is set.
  • Page View Tracker: This first-party cookie records the number of pages you have viewed during your current session and the approximate time spent on each page. We use this aggregated data to identify which sections of our Site receive the most traffic and which pages may need improvement. This cookie expires at the end of your session.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our Site. They may be set by TripVelora or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

  • Language and Locale Preference Cookie: This cookie remembers your preferred language and regional settings so that content is displayed in the format most relevant to you. For example, if you select a particular currency or date format, this cookie ensures that your preference is maintained across pages and on return visits. This cookie persists for six (6) months.
  • Font Size and Display Preference Cookie: This cookie stores your display preferences, such as font size adjustments or contrast settings, if you have used any accessibility features on our Site. It ensures that your visual preferences are maintained throughout your session and on subsequent visits. This cookie persists for twelve (12) months.
  • Recently Viewed Destinations Cookie: This cookie tracks which destination pages and travel services you have recently viewed on our Site. It allows us to display a "recently viewed" section and provide more relevant content suggestions based on your browsing history within our Site. This cookie persists for thirty (30) days.

4. How to Manage Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except for essential cookies, which are necessary for the Site to function). You can exercise your cookie preferences in several ways, including through our cookie consent banner and through your browser settings. Below are instructions for managing cookies in the most commonly used web browsers.

4.1 Google Chrome

To manage cookies in Google Chrome, open the browser and click the three-dot menu icon in the upper right corner. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu. In the left sidebar, click "Privacy and security," then select "Cookies and other site data." From this page, you can choose to block all cookies, block third-party cookies, allow all cookies, or clear cookies when you close Chrome. You can also add specific sites to the "Sites that can always use cookies" or "Sites that can never use cookies" lists. To delete existing cookies, go to "Privacy and security," click "Clear browsing data," select the "Cookies and other site data" checkbox, choose your desired time range, and click "Clear data."

4.2 Mozilla Firefox

To manage cookies in Mozilla Firefox, open the browser and click the three-line menu icon in the upper right corner. Select "Settings" from the menu. In the left sidebar, click "Privacy and Security." Under the "Cookies and Site Data" section, you can click "Manage Data" to view and delete cookies from specific websites. To change your overall cookie preferences, scroll to the "Enhanced Tracking Protection" section, where you can choose between Standard, Strict, or Custom protection levels. The Custom option allows you to specify which types of cookies and trackers to block, including third-party cookies, cryptominers, and fingerprinters.

4.3 Apple Safari

To manage cookies in Safari on macOS, open the browser and click "Safari" in the top menu bar, then select "Settings" (or "Preferences" in older versions). Click the "Privacy" tab. Here you can choose to block all cookies, prevent cross-site tracking, or manage website data by clicking "Manage Website Data," which allows you to view and remove cookies from individual websites. On iOS devices, go to Settings, scroll down to Safari, and tap "Advanced" to access cookie management options. You can also toggle "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking" and "Block All Cookies" from the Safari settings screen.

4.4 Microsoft Edge

To manage cookies in Microsoft Edge, open the browser and click the three-dot menu icon in the upper right corner. Select "Settings" from the menu. In the left sidebar, click "Cookies and site permissions," then click "Manage and delete cookies and site data." From this page, you can toggle options to allow sites to save and read cookie data, block third-party cookies, or preload pages for faster browsing and searching. To delete existing cookies, go to "Privacy, search, and services" in the left sidebar, scroll to "Clear browsing data," click "Choose what to clear," select "Cookies and other site data," choose your desired time range, and click "Clear now."

4.5 Opt-Out Tools

In addition to browser-based cookie management, you can opt out of certain third-party analytics and advertising cookies through industry opt-out tools. For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript code from sending visit information to Google Analytics. You can also visit the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page to manage preferences for participating advertising networks.

Please note that if you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to manage your cookie preferences separately on each device and browser. Additionally, clearing your cookies will reset your preferences, and you may need to re-configure your settings after clearing your browser data.

5. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own first-party cookies, TripVelora may allow certain trusted third parties to place cookies on your device when you visit our Site. These third-party cookies are used to provide services on our behalf, such as web analytics, social media integration, and form processing. The third parties that may set cookies on our Site include, but are not limited to, Google LLC (for Google Analytics), FormSubmit (for contact form processing), and social media platforms whose sharing or embedding features we may integrate.

Each third-party provider has its own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they collect, use, and share the information obtained through their cookies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties to understand their data practices. TripVelora does not control the cookies set by third parties and is not responsible for their data collection or usage practices. However, we carefully select our third-party partners and require them to handle data in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

The information collected by third-party analytics cookies is typically aggregated and anonymized before it is made available to us. We do not receive personally identifiable information from Google Analytics or other analytics providers. The aggregated data helps us understand overall traffic patterns, popular content, and user demographics at a high level, which we use to improve our Site and Services.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and TripVelora does not currently respond to or alter its data collection practices upon receiving a DNT signal from your browser.

However, we respect your privacy preferences and provide you with the ability to manage cookies and tracking technologies through the methods described in this policy. If a uniform standard for responding to DNT signals is established in the future, we will review and update our practices accordingly. In the meantime, we encourage you to use the browser-based and opt-out tools described in Section 4 above to manage your tracking preferences.

The State of Arizona and other jurisdictions may enact legislation regarding DNT signals and online tracking in the future. TripVelora Ventures LLC is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding online privacy and tracking, and we will update this Cookie Policy as necessary to reflect any changes in legal requirements.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

TripVelora Ventures LLC may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable laws, or changes in our data practices. When we make changes to this policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and post the updated policy on our Site. If we make material changes that significantly affect how we use cookies, we may also provide additional notice, such as a prominent banner on our Site.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and related technologies. Your continued use of the Site after the posting of a revised Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the updated policy, you should adjust your cookie preferences using the methods described in Section 4 or discontinue your use of the Site.
