Cookie policy

# A short inventory of cookies and browser storage.

The public site uses a first-party browser preference to remember your optional analytics choice. Google Analytics storage is opt-in. Provider-controlled analytics cookies are not described with guessed names or durations here.

**Effective** 12 August 2026 **Updated** 20 August 2026 **Format** Plain-English page

Effective date **12 August 2026**

Privacy contact **[info@amigotrekking.com](mailto:info@amigotrekking.com)**

**Review before legal sign-off**

- MANUAL LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED: confirm the names, domains and retention of any Google Analytics cookies in the production browser and confirm whether any proxy, CDN, security or operator cookies are present outside the audited frontend code.

## What the current code does

The frontend starts optional analytics as denied. It loads the Google tag only after an explicit Allow analytics action. Declining keeps the guide readable. The footer Privacy choices control reopens the choice UI.

The localStorage preference is first-party browser storage, not an account and not a record of the form information you submit. Clearing browser storage may cause the choice banner to appear again.

## What is not claimed

The audited repository does not provide a verified inventory of provider-set cookie names, domains or expiry values, and the browser audit did not inspect personal cookie/storage contents. This page therefore does not invent those values. If the production configuration changes, this inventory must be updated.

## Inventory

| Name / storage | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration | Consent |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| himalayan-guide-analytics-consent-v1 (localStorage) | Himalayan Travel Guide frontend | Preference | Remembers accepted or declined optional analytics choice on this browser. | Until changed or browser storage is cleared; no expiry is set in code. | No separate analytics consent is needed to remember the choice. |
| Google Analytics cookies/storage (names not locally verified) | Google | Analytics | Measures visits and page interactions after optional analytics is allowed. | Provider-controlled; verify in production before publishing a fixed duration. | Yes |

This plain-English page is a description of the audited website and is not a substitute for jurisdiction-specific legal review.
