Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Silvery Coast Guides ("we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, silveryes.pro. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide analytical information to website owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
How we use cookies
We use cookies for several purposes, categorised as follows
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies through our site, though you may disable them in your browser settings (which may affect site functionality).
Performance and Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. For example, we use them to count visits, see which pages are most popular, and identify errors. This helps us improve the site.
Functional Cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies: We may use these to deliver relevant advertisements to you on other platforms or to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. They track your browsing habits across websites.
Specific cookies we use
While the specific cookies may change over time, they generally include
Session identifiers to maintain your state during a visit.
Security tokens to prevent cross-site request forgery.
Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to track page views and user journeys.
Consent management cookies to remember your cookie preferences.
Your choices and control
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner asking for your consent to use non-essential cookies. You have the right to choose whether or not to accept these cookies. You can:
Accept all cookies.
Reject non-essential cookies.
Customise categories (e.g., allow analytics but disable advertising).
You can change your preferences at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in our site footer. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies; however, the site may not function properly if you block strictly necessary cookies. To opt out of Google Analytics across websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Where technically feasible, we respect browser signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC). If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a request to opt out of targeted advertising cookies.
Data retention
Cookie lifespans vary. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last longer, typically from a few days up to 26 months, depending on their purpose and your preferences.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third parties, such as analytics or advertising partners. These providers have their own privacy and cookie notices. We only load non-essential third-party cookies after you give consent through our banner or settings panel.
International transfers
Analytics and advertising providers may process data outside the UK/EEA. Where this occurs, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, and we assess the privacy protections offered by the destination country.
Updates to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in technology, law or our services. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was most recently revised. Material changes will be communicated via our cookie banner or a notice on our website.
