Cookie Policy | The Travels Tip

What cookies are used for

Cookies are small values stored by a browser so a website can maintain a session or remember limited technical information. The Travels Tip uses cookies and similar identifiers only for defined site functions.

Essential session and authentication cookies

When you sign in, the CMS uses a session cookie so it can recognise your authenticated session as you move between pages. These cookies are necessary for account, dashboard and administration functions. Signing out ends the authenticated session.

Security cookies and identifiers

Security controls may use short-lived identifiers to protect forms, authentication flows and other sensitive actions. These values are intended to reduce unauthorized requests and are not used as advertising profiles by the CMS.

View-tracking cookie

The public site may use a signed view identifier to reduce duplicate view counting and support basic article metrics. The identifier is designed for site analytics rather than to reveal the identity of an anonymous reader.

Optional analytics

The CMS supports optional Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager configuration. Those scripts are not rendered until the site owner explicitly enables analytics and supplies a valid configuration. If enabled, the relevant provider may set additional cookies according to its own service terms and privacy controls.

Managing cookies

You can use browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking essential session cookies can prevent sign-in, account dashboards and other authenticated features from working correctly.

Changes to this policy

This policy should be updated when the site activates a new cookie-dependent integration or materially changes how tracking is performed.
