This Cookie Policy explains how Colombia Uncharted uses cookies and similar technologies on colombiauncharted.com (the “Site”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device to remember information about your visit. “Similar technologies” include things like a browser’s local storage. Cookies can be set by the site you’re visiting (“first-party”) or by another service the site uses (“third-party”).
Our approach
The Site itself sets no cookies. We keep things deliberately lightweight:
- We use Ahrefs Web Analytics, which is cookieless — it sets no cookies and collects no personal data.
- We use Google Analytics, which can set cookies. By default we run it in a cookieless mode (Google Consent Mode), so no analytics cookies are set unless you accept them using the cookie banner shown on your first visit.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the “Cookie preferences” link in the site footer.
Cookies we use
These cookies are only set after you accept analytics cookies:
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes individual visitors | ~2 years |
_ga_8XE09HF7X1 | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for our GA4 property | ~2 years |
If you decline, or before you make a choice, these cookies are not set and Google Analytics runs in its cookieless mode.
Remembering your choice
So we don’t have to ask you on every page, we store your cookie choice in your
browser’s local storage under the key cu-consent (its value is simply
granted or denied). This is not a cookie, contains no personal data, and is
never sent to us or any third party. Clearing your browser storage will make the
banner appear again.
Managing cookies
You have a few ways to control cookies on this Site:
- Use our banner. Choose Accept or Decline when you first visit.
- Change your mind. Click “Cookie preferences” in the footer at any time to re-open the banner and update your choice.
- Use your browser. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Doing so won’t stop you from reading the Site.
- Opt out of Google Analytics everywhere with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date on this page reflects the most recent change.
