Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner are called first-party cookies, and they stay on your device for the duration you specify in your browser settings.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party cookies for technical reasons in order for our website to operate. These are referred to as essential or strictly necessary cookies. Without these, the website would not function as intended — for example, page elements may not load in the correct order, or your reading position on a long guide could be lost when you move between sections. We do not use cookies to track your behavior across other websites or for commercial profiling. Our egypt travelling guides are intended as a quiet, informational resource, and our cookie usage reflects that non-commercial purpose.

Types of cookies used

Our site primarily uses session cookies, which expire once you close your web browser. These help with page navigation and ensure that the site's layout is displayed correctly on your specific device. We do not use persistent cookies for long-term tracking of our visitors. Below is a summary of the cookie categories you will encounter on this site.

Managing cookies in your browser

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. For example, embedded reference media or section-to-section navigation aids may not load as intended.

Most browsers offer similar controls. You will usually find these options under Settings, Privacy, or Preferences:

• → Block all cookies from every site, or block only third-party cookies while keeping first-party ones active.
• → Clear cookies already stored on your device through your browser's history or data management panel.
• → Set browsing to private or incognito mode, which typically discards session cookies when you close the window.
• → Create site-specific exceptions so that eg-guide.me continues to function while other sites are blocked.

Third-party cookies

As a non-commercial site, we strive to minimize the use of third-party services. However, some embedded content — such as maps or videos included in our travel guides — may use their own cookies. We do not control these cookies, and you should check the third-party website for more information about their cookie usage. When we link out to external resources, we do so because the reference adds genuine educational value for a traveller into Egypt; the cookie practices of those external services remain their own.
