What Are Cookies?

Format Small text files

Stored on Your device

Purpose Browsing preferences

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the content. When you load a page on Egypt Discovery Guide, your browser saves these files so that return visits feel consistent rather than starting from scratch each time.

A cookie itself does not contain personal information such as your name or email address. It is a short string of letters and numbers that your browser reads back on the next visit. The file tells the site that you have been here before, which page layout you last used, or which travel guides you found most useful.

Reading through this policy should give you a clear picture of what to expect, whether you are a first-time traveller into Egypt browsing our regional write-ups or a returning reader catching up on new field notes. If you have ever wondered why a site remembers your scroll position or keeps your reading preferences between sessions, cookies are the reason.

Section 02

Types of Cookies We Use

We use essential cookies that are necessary for the website to function correctly. We also use analytical cookies to help us understand which pages are most popular and how visitors move around the site. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes. The breakdown below covers each category in plain language so you can decide what you are comfortable with.

Type A

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate. They handle tasks such as remembering your consent choice, keeping your reading preferences between pages, and making sure images and text load in the correct order. Without them, the site may display incorrectly or ask you to confirm preferences on every page. Essential cookies cannot be switched off in our system because they are tied to core functionality.

Type B

Analytical Cookies

These cookies help us understand which travel guides receive the most attention and how visitors navigate between sections. The information is reviewed in aggregate, meaning we look at overall patterns rather than individual reading habits. If you are researching a route through the Nile Valley or comparing coastal resorts, analytical cookies let us see which sections are genuinely useful and where the writing could be clearer. You can decline analytical cookies and still read every guide on the site.

Type C

Advertising Cookies

We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes. Egypt Discovery Guide is an editorial resource, not an advertising platform, and we do not sell reader data to third parties. You will not find cross-site advertising trackers embedded in our pages. If that ever changes, this section will be updated before any new category is introduced, and you will be asked to consent again.

Section 03

Managing Cookies

You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings. However, please note that some parts of the website may not function properly if cookies are disabled. Every major browser gives you control over which cookies are accepted, how long they persist, and when they are cleared.

If you prefer not to have cookies stored on your device, you can set your browser to block them entirely or to notify you each time a site attempts to set one. You can also clear existing cookies at any time through your browser settings. The process differs slightly depending on which browser you use, but the option is available in every modern browser under privacy or site settings.

Blocking all cookies means the site will not remember your preferences between visits. You may need to re-accept the consent prompt each time you return, and certain features such as persistent reading positions may be unavailable. The core guides remain readable regardless of your cookie settings, since the articles themselves do not depend on cookies to display.

Section 04

Third-Party Cookies

Some of our pages may feature embedded content from other sites, such as maps or videos. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not have control over these cookies, and their behavior is governed by the privacy policy of the service that provides the embed.

When you load an embedded element, your browser connects directly to the third-party server. That connection may trigger cookies from the external service before you even interact with the embedded content. If you prefer to avoid third-party cookies entirely, most browsers allow you to block them while still allowing first-party cookies from sites you trust.

For specifics on how a particular service handles its cookies, we recommend reviewing that service's own cookie or privacy documentation. Our policy covers only the cookies that Egypt Discovery Guide sets directly.

Section 05

Cookie Retention

Some cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a set period. You can clear your cookie cache at any time through your browser settings. The table below explains how long each category typically stays on your device before it is automatically removed.

Category Duration What happens

Session cookies Until browser closes Deleted automatically when you close your browser tab or window. They exist only for the duration of your visit.

Persistent cookies Set period Remain on your device for a defined period or until you manually clear them. Used for preferences that should survive between visits.

Manually cleared Any time You can remove all stored cookies through your browser settings at any point, regardless of their original expiration date.

Clearing your cookie cache will reset the site to its default state. Your consent preference will be asked again on your next visit, and any reading preferences stored locally will be lost. The guides themselves remain fully accessible.

Section 07

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this cookie policy to comply with new regulations or technological changes. Any updates will be published on this page. When material changes are made, the revised date at the top of this document will reflect the most recent revision.

We encourage you to revisit this page periodically if you want to stay informed about how cookies are used on the site. If the changes are significant enough to require fresh consent, you will see the consent prompt again on your next visit. Minor clarifications or formatting fixes will not trigger a new prompt.

Section 08
