8. More About the Cookies We Use

Essential cookies keep core features running (security, session continuity, load balancing). Performance cookies help us understand which pages are most and least popular, and how visitors move around the site; we aggregate this information to improve usability and content. Functionality cookies remember choices (such as language, region, or form inputs) to provide a more personalised experience. Where applicable, advertising cookies allow us and partners to show relevant messages, measure campaign effectiveness, and limit ad frequency. The lifespan of a cookie varies: session cookies expire when your browser closes; persistent cookies may remain for weeks or months unless you delete them.

9. Managing Consent & Preferences

On your first visit, our consent banner provides options to accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies. You can revisit your choices at any time by using the “Privacy Settings” link in the footer. If you block some categories, certain features may not function as intended. Please note that your preferences are stored in a cookie; if you clear cookies or use a different device/browser, you may need to set preferences again.

10. Third-Party Technologies

We may use third-party analytics (e.g., for aggregated traffic insights) and, where consented, advertising pixels that help us deliver or measure relevant campaigns. These providers may set their own cookies and track interactions according to their policies. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of any third-party services you interact with through our site.

11. Do Not Track & Browser Controls

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals. There is no universal standard for DNT at this time, so our site may not respond to all DNT signals. You can still manage cookies via your browser settings, including blocking, clearing, or receiving alerts when cookies are set.

12. Changes & Contact

We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or our use of cookies. The “Effective date” will be updated accordingly. If you have questions, contact privacy@alpenreise.live.
