This Cookie Policy explains how The Lonely Backpack uses cookies and similar browser storage on thelonelybackpack.com (the “Site”), what choices you have, and how to change those choices.
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your device. Websites may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, to remember preferences or help features work correctly. In this policy, we use “cookies” as a simple term for both cookies and similar browser storage.
Essential storage is required for core site functionality, security, forms, navigation, and remembering the privacy choice you make in our cookie banner. It cannot be switched off through our Cookie Settings.
Analytics tools, if enabled, may help us understand which pages visitors find useful, how people move through the Site, and whether pages are working as expected. Analytics is optional and is not enabled through our consent system unless you allow it.
Marketing technologies, if enabled in the future, may be used to measure campaigns, understand referrals, personalize advertising, or support affiliate attribution. Marketing is optional and is not enabled through our consent system unless you allow it.
When you make a choice in the cookie banner, the Site stores a small consent record in your browser's local storage. It records whether you allowed analytics and marketing categories, along with the consent version and the time your preference was saved. This prevents the banner from appearing on every page you visit.
The Site may use third-party services for hosting, email delivery, analytics, embedded content, or other site features. Some third parties may set their own cookies when their services are active. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies.
Our email newsletter is delivered using Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES). Email delivery itself does not require you to accept optional website cookies.
You can change your preferences at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the footer or on this page. You can also remove cookies and local storage through your browser settings. If you clear your browser storage, we may ask for your preference again the next time you visit.
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website tools or practices change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was most recently updated.
