Epic Adventures (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website epicad.ventures (the “Site”) to help users plan and book adventures, read reviews, view photos, and receive updates.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies (“cookies”) we use on the Site, why we use them, and how you can manage them. This policy is part of our [Privacy Policy].

1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help the Site remember information about your visit, making it work better and more personalized.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons/pixels, local storage, and SDKs in apps (if applicable).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize cookies as follows:
Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies These are required for the Site to function properly (e.g., logging in, navigating pages, securing forms, remembering booking cart items). They do not require consent under most laws. Examples: Session cookies for authentication, security tokens. Duration: Mostly session-based (deleted when browser closes) or short-term.
Performance / Analytics Cookies These help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., pages viewed, time spent, errors) to improve performance and user experience. Examples: Google Analytics to track aggregate usage and trends. Duration: Persistent (up to 2 years for some). These collect anonymized or aggregated data in many cases.
Functionality / Preference Cookies These remember choices you make (e.g., language, trip filters, dark mode) to provide a more personalized experience. Examples: Remembering your preferred adventure type or location settings. Duration: Persistent (months to years).
Targeting / Advertising Cookies These (including from third parties) track your browsing to show relevant ads on our Site or elsewhere, measure ad effectiveness, or enable social sharing features. Examples: Meta Pixel/Facebook cookies for retargeting, Google Ads cookies. Duration: Persistent (up to 1–2 years). These may enable “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under CCPA/CPRA.
We do not use cookies for sensitive personal information without appropriate safeguards.
