Last updated:
This Cookies Policy explains how Tendonnature ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit tendonnature.world. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in connection with our group walk services and products.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website operators. Cookies can be "session cookies," which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags to achieve comparable purposes.
2. How We Use Cookies
Tendonnature uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes related to our group walk website and services:
- To enable essential website functionality, including page navigation, secure access to booking-related features, and form submission on our contact page
- To remember your preferences and choices, such as your cookie consent status and language settings
- To analyze how visitors interact with our walk package pages, guided route descriptions, and overall site structure so we can improve content and usability
- To help detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect the security of our website and users
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of tendonnature.world. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have requested, such as submitting a contact form to inquire about walk packages, cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under most privacy regulations.
- Session management cookies that maintain your browsing session as you navigate between pages
- Cookie consent storage that records whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies
- Security cookies that help protect against cross-site request forgery and other threats
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may remember your region or display preferences to present walk package pricing in United States dollars and relevant route information for the New York City area.
- Preference cookies that store your settings for font size, contrast, or other accessibility options
- Form data cookies that temporarily retain information you have entered to prevent loss during navigation
3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregated form. This data helps us improve our walk package descriptions, optimize page load times, and identify which guided routes generate the most interest among potential participants.
- Page view and navigation tracking to understand which sections of our website are most visited
- Traffic source identification to determine how visitors discover tendonnature.world
- Engagement metrics such as time on page, scroll depth, and click patterns on call-to-action elements
3.4 Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookies policies. Third-party cookies on our site may include:
- Google Fonts, which may set cookies or collect usage data when font resources are loaded from Google's servers
- Google Maps, embedded on our contact page, which may use cookies to provide map functionality and remember your map preferences
- Font Awesome CDN, which delivers icon resources and may collect technical data related to content delivery
4. Cookie Consent
When you first visit tendonnature.world, a cookie consent banner will appear informing you about our use of cookies. You may choose to accept all cookies or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key associated with our consent mechanism and will be remembered for future visits. You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and cookies for our domain, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
If you decline non-essential cookies, certain features of our website may function with reduced capability. For example, we may be unable to remember your preferences between visits or analyze aggregated usage patterns to improve our walk package pages. Strictly necessary cookies will continue to operate regardless of your consent choice, as they are required for basic website functionality.
5. Managing and Deleting Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close your browser. The methods for managing cookies vary by browser. Below are general instructions for common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your experience on tendonnature.world and may prevent you from using certain features, including our contact form consent mechanism and cookie preference storage.
6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, our website does not currently alter its data collection practices when it receives a DNT signal. You may still manage cookies through the methods described in Section 5 of this policy.
7. Data Retention for Cookie-Related Data
Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for varying periods depending on their purpose. Our cookie consent preference is stored for twelve months. Analytics cookies typically expire after twelve to twenty-four months. You can delete all cookies at any time through your browser settings as described in Section 5.
8. Updates to This Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in technology, or changes in applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
