This Cookie Policy explains how Makoma Expeditions Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies

policy, except for those cookies which require your active consent (see Section 4).
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or phone when you visit a
website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember information about
your visit, such as your preferences and previous actions. Cookies are widely used to make
websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website owner.
We also use similar technologies including pixels, web beacons, and local storage. For
simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” throughout this policy.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
To ensure our website functions correctly and securely
To remember choices you make, such as your cookie preferences
To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
To enable features such as embedded content from third parties

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, and we do not sell data collected through cookies to any third party.
3. Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for our website to function and
cannot be disabled. They support core operations such as page navigation, security, form
submission (for example, our enquiry form), and remembering your cookie consent choices.
Without these cookies the website cannot work properly. These cookies do not require your

Performance and analytics cookies. These cookies help us understand how visitors

Functional cookies. These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and
provide enhanced features. Where we display embedded content from third parties, such as
Instagram posts or YouTube videos, those services may set their own cookies. These
cookies are only set if you give consent.
Marketing cookies. We do not currently run targeted advertising or retargeting campaigns.
If we introduce marketing cookies in future, this policy will be updated and your consent will
be requested before any such cookies are set.
