This Cookie Policy explains how Ngeye Uganda Tours ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit ngeyeugandatours.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
By continuing to use our site after this notice, you consent to our use of cookies as described below. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using our preference controls.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to site owners.
Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, but data we store about you may be linked to information stored in cookies. We also use similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, and local storage for the purposes described in this policy.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Required for the site to function. They enable core features like navigation, form submissions, and security. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, and where they come from.
Functional Cookies
Remember your preferences (such as language or region) to provide a more personalised experience on return visits.
Marketing Cookies
Used to track visitors across websites and display relevant safari offers and advertising based on your browsing history.
Cookies We Set
The following first-party cookies are set directly by our website:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| csrftoken | Security — prevents cross-site request forgery attacks on forms. | 1 year |
| sessionid | Maintains your session state across page loads. | Session |
| messages | Stores one-time notification messages (e.g., form confirmation alerts). | Session |
| ngeye_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference so we don't ask again. | 1 year |
Essential cookies (csrftoken, sessionid, messages) are strictly necessary for the site to function correctly and cannot be disabled.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on our site embed content or use services from third parties that may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. The third parties we currently use include:
- Google Maps — used to embed route maps on individual safari package pages. Google may set cookies to track map interactions.
- Cloudinary — serves optimised images. No user-tracking cookies are set by Cloudinary's CDN.
- Google Fonts — loads web fonts. Google may log the request but does not use it for ad targeting.
We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties directly if you have concerns about their tracking practices.
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies fall into two duration categories:
- Session cookies — exist only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period (see the table in Section 3) or until you delete them manually.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling cookies:
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent key parts of our site from functioning correctly.
- Our consent banner — when you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change this preference at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and revisiting the site.
- Third-party opt-outs — for cookies set by Google, visit Google's cookie controls.
Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our site, including enquiry forms, session handling, and map embeds on package pages.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to check back periodically.
Continued use of our website after a change constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
