Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Egyptian Horizon Guides (eg-guides.lat) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website, what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
Overview
How we use cookies on this site
We use cookies to ensure our site functions efficiently for every traveller into Egypt. When you visit eg-guides.lat, small data files are placed on your device so the pages load correctly, remember your preferences, and help us understand which of our egypt travelling guides are read most often. This policy sets out what each type of cookie does, why it exists, and how you can manage or remove it at any time.
Cookies are standard across the web and are used by nearly every website you visit. They do not damage your device, and they do not give us access to personal information you have not chosen to share. The information below describes each category in plain language so you can make informed choices about your browsing experience while using our travel guides.
Section 01
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner are called first-party cookies, while those set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Both types serve different purposes — first-party cookies handle core site functions like page navigation, while third-party cookies may support embedded content such as maps or sharing tools.
A cookie typically contains the name of the domain it comes from, a unique identifier, and a small amount of data. When you return to the same site, the cookie is sent back and the site recognizes your browser. This is what allows the site to keep your language selection or remember which travel guide pages you last viewed.
Section 02 — 04
Types of cookies we use
We group the cookies on eg-guides.lat into three categories based on what they do and whether they are required for the site to work. Each slat below explains what the category covers and what happens if you turn it off.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website to you, you cannot refuse them without affecting how our site functions. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, though doing so may prevent core pages from loading properly.
Performance & Functionality Cookies
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable. For example, they may remember your language preference or help us understand which sections of our egypt travelling guides are most popular so we can focus our updates there. Turning them off will not break the site, but you may lose convenience features like saved settings.
Analytics & Customization Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our content is, or to help us customize our website for you. We use tools like Google Analytics to track visitor behavior, but this data is anonymized and does not allow us to identify you personally. We use these insights to decide which travel guides to expand and which pages need clearer instructions for a traveller into Egypt.
Section 05
Third-party cookies on our site
In some cases, we may use third-party cookies provided by trusted partners. For example, our site may include integrated maps or social media sharing buttons that set their own cookies. These cookies are managed by the third party, not by Egyptian Horizon Guides.
We do not have control over these cookies and suggest you check the third-party websites for more information about their cookie policies. The presence of a third-party tool does not mean we share your personal data with that provider.
Section 06
Duration of cookies
The length of time a cookie will stay on your browsing device depends on whether it is a persistent or session cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing — they are deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies stay on your browsing device after you have finished browsing until they expire or are deleted. These are used for things like remembering your language setting between visits, so you do not need to reconfigure the site each time you return to read one of our travel guides.
Section 07
How to control cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.
Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings or preferences menus. The steps vary slightly by browser, but the general process is the same.
