This Cookie Policy explains how Morocco Traveler Guide (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies, web beacons, and related tracking technologies on moroccotravelerguide.com. This policy should be read alongside our comprehensive Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small alphanumeric text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual, tailoring their operations to your needs and preferences. They also enable essential features (such as caching, security firewalls, and remembering consent choices) and help site owners analyze traffic performance.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify the cookies utilized on our Website into four operational categories:
A. Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies
These cookies are indispensable for the website to function correctly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set only in response to actions made by you, such as requesting pages, load-balancing server traffic (Cloudflare), verifying security sessions, and routing assets. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but critical portions of the site will not function.
B. Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits, gauge traffic sources, and identify which destination articles are most popular. This aggregated, anonymous data helps us measure and refine the editorial performance of our travel guides. We work with privacy-compliant analytics platforms that do not track personally identifiable details.
C. Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies enable enhanced features and personalization, such as remembering your language choice or whether you have previously dismissed a notification banner.
D. Targeting & Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners, primarily Google AdSense. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
