Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how the Travel & Geography Archive (ynoor.com) uses cookies and similar storage technologies when you visit our catalogue. We respect your privacy and aim to be transparent about the data we collect and how you can control it.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you interact with the site, and deliver relevant content. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others are optional and used for analytics or advertising.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our catalogue. They enable core features such as session management, navigation, and access to secure areas. Without these cookies, the site cannot function properly. Essential cookies are set automatically and do not require your consent.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as your language or display settings, to provide a more personalised experience. These are first-party cookies and are set only if you interact with such features.
Analytics Cookies
Where enabled, we use analytics cookies to collect anonymised information about how visitors use our site. This helps us understand which pages are most popular, how users navigate, and what improvements can be made. We may use first-party analytics services or third-party services like Google Analytics. Data collected includes pages visited, time spent, and browser type, but does not identify you personally.
Advertising Cookies
If advertisements are displayed on our site, we may use advertising cookies to make ads more relevant to you. These cookies track your browsing habits across websites and may be set by third-party advertising networks such as Google AdSense or other Google advertising technologies. You can opt out of personalised advertising through your Google account settings or via the Google Ads Settings page.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by ynoor.com directly. Third-party cookies are set by services we use, such as analytics providers or advertising networks. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the respective providers' privacy policies.
Session and Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The duration varies by cookie; we do not specify fixed durations as they may change. Persistent cookies help us remember your preferences for future visits.
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage (e.g., HTML5 localStorage) to store data on your device for similar purposes, such as remembering interface settings or caching content to improve performance. This data is not automatically shared with third parties.
Your Consent Choices
When you first visit our site, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice. For non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising), we request your consent before setting them. You can accept or decline these cookies. If you decline, only essential cookies will be used. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our site.
Withdrawal of Consent
You may withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. To withdraw, adjust your cookie settings via the link provided on our site.
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies from specific sites or all sites. However, please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our catalogue, and some features may not work as intended. For instructions, consult your browser's help section.
Practical Effects of Disabling Storage
If you disable cookies or local storage, you may still browse our catalogue, but certain features—such as remembering your reading preferences, language settings, or session state—may not function. Analytics and advertising will also be disabled, which means you will not see personalised ads.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. Your continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
