At Nattral LLC, we’re all about connecting you with the wild beauty of the world’s coastlines, and we want your online experience on www.nattral.com to be smooth, personal, and transparent. This Cookies Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your visit, from browsing coastal destinations to getting travel tips. We’ve kept it clear and simple, so you know exactly what’s happening behind the scenes. If you’ve got questions, reach out—we’re here to help.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device (phone, computer, or tablet) when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, track how you use the site, and make sure everything runs smoothly. Think of them like a trail marker on a coastal hike—guiding us to make your journey better. We also use similar tech, like pixels or local storage, which work in much the same way.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use a few types of cookies to keep your Nattral experience top-notch. Here’s the breakdown:
Essential Cookies: These are must-haves for the site to work—like letting you navigate pages, access secure areas, or save your cart for booking tours. Without them, the site’s like a kayak without a paddle.
Performance Cookies: These track how you use our site (e.g., which pages you visit or how long you stay). We use tools like Google Analytics to collect anonymized data, helping us improve content and fix bugs.
Functional Cookies: These remember your choices—like language or region—so you don’t have to reset them every visit. They make the site feel personal, like a local guide.
Advertising Cookies: These help us show you relevant ads, like eco-lodge deals or kayak tours, based on your interests. They also limit how often you see the same ad and measure how well our campaigns work.
We don’t overload you with cookies—just what’s needed to make your experience smooth and relevant.
3. Why We Use Cookies
Cookies help us bring the wild coast to you in the best way possible. Here’s what they do:
Keep the site running smoothly, so you can browse destinations without hiccups.
Remember your settings, like preferring English or metric units for trail distances.
Analyze anonymized data to improve our guides, stories, or booking process.
Show you personalized travel suggestions, like a hidden beach in Belize or a trail in Ireland.
Ensure our ads are useful, not annoying, and measure how they perform.
We only use cookies to enhance your adventure, not to clutter your journey.
4. Your Cookie Choices
You’re in control of your cookie experience. Here’s how you can manage them:
Cookie Banner: When you first visit www.nattral.com, our cookie pop-up lets you accept or customize which cookies you allow (except essential ones, which we need to run the site).
Browser Settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check your browser’s “Privacy” or “Settings” menu to adjust preferences. Blocking cookies might limit some site features, like saving your preferences.
Opt-Out Tools: For advertising cookies, you can opt out via tools like the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org) or Your Online Choices (http://www.youronlinechoices.com).
Do Not Track: We respect “Do Not Track” signals where possible, though some third-party tools (like analytics) may not fully support them.
If you’re unsure how to tweak settings, email us, and we’ll walk you through it.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies come from trusted partners who help us run the site:
Analytics Providers: Tools like Google Analytics use cookies to track site performance anonymously. They don’t collect personal info like your name.
Advertising Partners: We work with ad networks to show relevant travel deals. These cookies track your interests (e.g., clicking on a kayak tour) to tailor ads.
Social Media: If you share our content on platforms like Instagram or Twitter, their cookies may track that action to improve sharing features.
Our partners are bound by strict agreements to protect your data. Check their privacy policies for details on how they handle cookies.
6. How Long Cookies Last
Cookies have an expiration date, like a tide that goes out:
Session Cookies: These vanish when you close your browser, like footprints on a beach.
Persistent Cookies: These stick around (from days to a year) to remember your settings or track site usage over time.
You can delete cookies anytime via your browser to start fresh.
7. Data Protection and Cookies
We take your privacy seriously. Cookies don’t store sensitive info like your credit card or home address—just things like anonymized browsing patterns or site preferences. Our Privacy Policy (linked on www.nattral.com) explains how we protect any personal data tied to cookies. We use encryption and secure servers to keep things safe, but if you’re worried, reach out to us.
8. Updates to This Policy
We might tweak this Cookies Policy to keep up with new tech or legal changes. We’ll post updates on www.nattral.com with a new effective date and notify you via email or a site notice for big changes. Check back before browsing to stay in the loop.
