At Kolumnista LLC, we’re all about weaving travel stories that spark wanderlust, and we want your experience on http://kolumnista.com/ to be smooth and enjoyable. Like most websites, we use cookies and similar tech to make that happen. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your options for managing them. We’ve kept it clear and jargon-light, but if you’ve got questions, reach out at [email protected]!
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that get stored on your device (computer, phone, etc.) when you visit our site. They help us remember things like your preferences, track how you use the site, and make sure everything runs smoothly. Think of them as little notes that help us give you a better experience, minus the chocolate chips.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a few key reasons:
Essential Cookies: These are the must-haves that keep our site working—like letting you navigate pages or access the ticket search widget. Without these, the site might act wonky.
Analytics Cookies: These help us see how you’re vibing with our site, like which pages you visit or how long you stick around. We use tools like Google Analytics to get anonymized insights that help us improve the site.
Advertising Cookies: These let us (and our partners) show you ads that match your interests, like travel deals or gear you might dig. They also help us measure how well our ads are doing.
Functional Cookies: These remember your choices (like language settings, if we add those) to make your visit more personalized.
Our ticket search widget, powered by Go Travel Un Limited (Hong Kong, Number 1658681), may also use its own cookies. Those are handled by them, not us, so check their Cookie Policy for details.
What Cookies Collect
Cookies might pick up things like:
Your IP address (to know roughly where you’re browsing from).
Browser type and device info (to make sure the site looks good on your screen).
Pages you visit and links you click (to see what’s hot and what’s not).
Ad interactions (to know if you clicked that sweet flight deal).
We don’t use cookies to grab super personal stuff like your name or email unless you’ve shared that with us (say, by signing up for our newsletter).
Your Cookie Choices
You’re in control! Here’s how you can manage cookies:
Browser Settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Head to your browser’s settings (like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) to tweak things. Note: blocking essential cookies might mess with how our site works.
Opt-Out Tools: For analytics or ads, you can opt out of some tracking. Google Analytics has an opt-out browser add-on, and many ad networks offer opt-out options (check the Network Advertising Initiative or Your Online Choices).
Do Not Track: If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” signal, we’ll respect it where we can, though some third-party tools might not.
If you clear your cookies, you might need to reset your preferences next time you visit.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies come from third parties, like:
Google Analytics: To track site performance (anonymized data only).
Go Travel Un Limited: For the ticket search widget, which might set cookies to manage your searches.
These third parties have their own policies, so take a peek at their sites for more info. We don’t control their cookies, but we pick partners we trust.
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies have different lifespans:
Session Cookies: These vanish when you close your browser (like a quick travel fling).
Persistent Cookies: These stick around for a set time (from days to months) to remember you between visits.
We keep persistent cookies for up to 12 months, but you can zap them anytime via your browser.
Changes to This Policy
We might update this Cookie Policy as tech or laws change. If we do, we’ll post the new version here with the updated date. Big changes? We’ll try to give you a heads-up via the site or email. Keep swinging by to stay in the loop.
