1. General information

This Policy explains which cookies and other storage technologies may be used on the Golden Apricot Tour website, why they are needed, and how the user can manage consent.

Website operator: Арутюнян Мгер. Contact phone: +37441555145. Contact email: mherartyr@mail.ru.

2. Technologies used

The website uses only those cookies and external services for which the user has given explicit consent through the cookie banner.

• analytics cookies and technical identifiers of Yandex Metrika;
• embedded Yandex Maps, which may set cookies only after the user gives consent;
• browser local storage (localStorage) to store the user cookie choice;
• local storage of tour search preferences only where the user has given consent.

3. Cookies and data that may be stored after consent

After cookies are accepted, the website may load Yandex Metrika. In this case Yandex Metrika may create and use the following cookies and similar identifiers:

• _ym_uid: unique visitor identifier;
• _ym_d: date of the first site visit;
• _ym_isad: technical flag used by Yandex Metrika;
• _ym90881589_lastHit and _ym90881589_lsid or similar counter-specific values: technical data about recent events and the counter session state;
• gat.cookie-consent in localStorage: a record of the user choice so the website can remember consent or refusal;
• gat.home-search-preferences in localStorage: stored tour search parameters if the user allowed storage and used the search feature.

4. Purposes of cookies and local storage

Cookies and local storage are used only for a limited set of purposes:

• to obtain anonymised or pseudonymised web analytics about website usage;
• to understand which pages are visited and how users interact with the content;
• to display embedded Yandex Maps inside website pages;
• to remember the user cookie choice and preserve voluntarily selected search settings.

5. When cookies are not used

Before consent is received, the website does not load Yandex Metrika and does not display embedded Yandex Maps inside the page.

If the user clicks “Decline”, analytics cookies are not set and Yandex Metrika is not connected.

6. How to manage consent

The user can accept or decline cookies in the banner shown on the first visit to the website.

Later, the user can reopen cookie settings through a link in the website footer and change the decision.

The user can also delete cookies and local storage data through browser settings.

7. Transfer of data to third parties

If cookies are accepted, technical data may be transferred to Yandex Metrika and Yandex services required to display maps.

After the user follows links to external sites and services, their owners process data under their own rules.

8. Policy updates

The operator may amend this Policy. The new version is published on this page.
