1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are used to help the website function correctly, to remember your preferences, and — where you have consented — to analyse how visitors interact with the site. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other data on your device.
This Cookie Policy applies to the toravel.info website. It should be read alongside the Toravel Privacy Policy, which provides the broader framework for how we handle personal data.
2. Cookie Categories We Use
The cookies used on toravel.info fall into three categories. The first category is always active. The second and third categories are activated only with your explicit consent via the cookie consent banner.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate. They cannot be disabled. They do not collect personal data used for marketing or analytics purposes.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| toravel_consent | Records the visitor's cookie consent choice to avoid repeated banner display | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session identifier to maintain site functionality during a visit | Session |
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to understand aggregate patterns of visitor engagement on the toravel.info website. Data collected is anonymised and used solely to improve website content and navigation. These cookies are activated only when you select "Accept All" or "Accept Partial" from the consent banner.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors for aggregate session counting (Google Analytics — anonymised) | 24 months |
| _ga_* | Maintains session state for aggregate analytics reporting | 24 months |
| _gid | Distinguishes unique visitors within a 24-hour window | 24 hours |
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember settings you have chosen on the website — such as display preferences — to provide a more consistent experience on return visits. No personal data collected via preference cookies is shared with third parties.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| toravel_prefs | Stores visitor display preferences to maintain a consistent experience across visits | 6 months |
3. Third-Party Cookies
The toravel.info website loads certain third-party resources — including JavaScript libraries from CDN providers (jsDelivr, unpkg, cdnjs, code.jquery.com) and font resources (Google Fonts). These third-party providers may set their own cookies or collect IP address data as part of normal CDN operation. Toravel does not control the data practices of these third parties. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these providers directly if you have specific concerns about their data handling.
The Google Maps embed on the contact page is loaded as an iframe from maps.google.com. Google may set cookies in connection with the Maps service if you interact with the embed. This embed is present regardless of analytics cookie consent, as it constitutes functional content (a location reference) rather than tracking. Google's use of data in connection with Maps is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings option in the footer of every page on this website. Selecting "Functional Only" will deactivate all non-essential cookies. Selecting "Accept Partial" will activate analytics cookies only. Selecting "Accept All" will activate all optional cookie categories.
In addition to the on-site preference management, most modern browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies stored by websites you have visited. The following links provide browser-specific guidance:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data
Please note that disabling or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of the toravel.info website, in particular the ability to maintain your cookie consent preference between visits.
5. Consent & Legal Basis
The use of functional cookies on toravel.info is based on legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) as these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate. The use of analytics and preference cookies is based on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) provided via the cookie consent banner.
Consent records — including the date, time, and category of consent given — are stored in the functional cookie "toravel_consent" for a period of 12 months. You may withdraw consent at any time by selecting "Functional Only" from the Cookie Settings option in the footer.
6. Contact & Updates
Questions about this Cookie Policy should be directed to [email protected]. This policy is reviewed and updated when we make changes to the cookies used on the website. Material changes will be reflected in the version number and "Last updated" date at the top of this document.
