Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 9, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Mae Adventures uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit maeadventures.com. It explains what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you use them. Cookies set by Mae Adventures are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by other services (like Google Analytics) are called "third-party cookies."
2. How We Manage Cookie Consent
Mae Adventures uses Cloudflare's Consent Manager to handle cookie consent. When you first visit the Site, a banner will appear asking for your preferences. You can:
- Accept all cookies — enables analytics so we can improve the Site
- Reject non-essential cookies — only essential cookies will be set
- Manage preferences — choose which categories you accept
You can update your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management and security | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Security challenge verification | 30 minutes |
| cmapi_cookie_privacy | Cloudflare Consent Manager | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 1 year |
Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)
These cookies are only set if you accept analytics cookies. They help us understand how visitors use Mae Adventures so we can improve the experience.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users (anonymized) | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Maintains session state | 2 years |
Google Analytics is loaded via Cloudflare Zaraz (Tag Manager), which processes analytics server-side before passing anonymized data to Google. This means Google does not receive your raw IP address.
4. What We Do NOT Use Cookies For
- Advertising or ad targeting
- Selling your data to third parties
- Tracking children under 13
- Login or account sessions (we have no accounts)
- Personalization or profiling
5. How to Control Cookies
You have several options for controlling cookies:
- Our consent banner — update preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer
- Your browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the Site works.
- Google Analytics opt-out — install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
6. Children and Cookies
Mae Adventures does not use cookies to track or target children. Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated. We do not build profiles of individual users, and we do not knowingly collect cookie data from children under 13 beyond what is strictly necessary for the Site to function.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the Site evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects any changes.
