Definition of Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be persistent — remaining on your device after you close your browser — or session-based, meaning they are deleted when you close your browser.
When you load a page on eg-guide.click, your browser stores these files locally. Each subsequent request to our servers includes the relevant cookie data, which lets the site remember your preferences, maintain your reading position in a long travel guide, and load pages faster on return visits. Cookies do not contain readable personal data in the way a filled-out form does; they are identifiers that the server uses to recognize a returning browser session.
For a traveller into Egypt reading our egypt travelling guides on a phone with limited data, this distinction matters. A small session file that remembers which section of a guide you last scrolled to costs almost nothing in bandwidth. A persistent preference file that keeps your text-size setting across visits saves you from re-adjusting every time you return. The overhead is negligible; the convenience is real.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use essential cookies that are necessary for the technical operation of the website, such as managing your session and ensuring page loads are optimized. We may also use analytical cookies to understand how visitors interact with our content, which helps us identify which travel guides are most useful. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking cookies for commercial retargeting.
Essential
Session management, page load optimization, and basic site functions. Without these, parts of the site will not work.
Analytical
Anonymous statistical data showing how visitors interact with content, which guides are read most, and where readers drop off.
Preference
Remembers display choices such as text size, contrast mode, and language dialect so you do not need to set them again.
Advertising
We do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or commercial tracking on eg-guide.click.
Managing Cookie Preferences
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to block cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you disable cookies, some parts of this website may not function properly. By continuing to use our site without changing your settings, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
The settings menus differ between browsers, but the path is similar. Look for a Privacy or Site Data section inside your browser's settings panel. From there you can block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or set the browser to ask each time a site tries to store one. Clearing cookies is also available in the same area, usually under a button labeled Clear browsing data or similar.
What to check in your browser
- Whether all cookies are accepted, or only first-party cookies — the latter keeps third-party services from storing anything on your device.
- How to clear existing cookies — useful if you want a clean state after reading a long travel guide.
- Incognito or private browsing mode — in this mode, cookies are deleted the moment you close the window.
- Site-specific permissions — modern browsers let you allow cookies for sites you trust and block them for the rest.
Browser settings are your first line of control. Each browser handles cookies slightly differently.
Third-Party Cookies
In some cases, we may use third-party services for site analytics or to embed maps and videos. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not have direct control over these cookies, and we recommend that you check the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party providers for more information on their practices.
When we embed a map or a short video clip inside one of our egypt travelling guides, the provider of that map or video may place a cookie on your device even if you do not interact with the embedded element directly. This is standard web behavior and not something we can switch off from our side without removing the embedded content entirely. The data collected by these third parties is governed by their own policies, not ours.
If you prefer not to receive third-party cookies at all, blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings is the most reliable step. The embedded map or video may not load, but the rest of the guide — the text, the preparation checklists, the cultural notes — will work as normal.
Purpose of Data Collection
The data collected through cookies is used solely to enhance the site's performance and to gather anonymous statistical data. This information helps us understand user behavior, such as which sections of our cultural guide are most frequently read. This allows us to prioritize future content updates based on actual user interest, ensuring our resource remains valuable to the community.
We look at aggregated patterns, not individual sessions. If a particular packing checklist is read three times more often than a general overview page, that tells us travellers preparing for Egypt want practical checklists more than they want introductions. We write accordingly. If a cultural etiquette section has a high exit rate, we revisit the writing to see where it loses the reader.
The data is never used to build a profile of you as an individual. It cannot be, because the analytical cookies we use do not carry your name, email, or any identifier that traces back to a person. What we see is a count of page loads, a duration of time on page, and a rough geographical region at country level — nothing more granular.
Changes to the Cookie Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the bottom of the page indicates when the policy was last updated.
If we add a new analytical tool, change how embedded content is served, or adjust our internal reporting, this page will reflect that change. Minor edits — clarifying a sentence, fixing a typo — do not reset the date. Material changes — a new cookie category, a new third-party service, a change in how long we keep data — trigger a fresh date and a note in this section explaining what changed.
If you have questions about a specific change, or if you want to know whether a particular cookie was present before or after a given date, write to us at [email protected] and we will walk you through it.
