Cookie notice

This page explains how MJ Travel Gurus uses cookies and similar local-storage values when you visit mjtravelgurus.com. We've kept the list short on purpose — we don't run third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social-network tracking scripts.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of text stored by your web browser when you visit a site. The site can read it back later. Browsers also expose a closely related feature called local storage, which works similarly. We use both for a small number of practical purposes described below.
Cookies and local-storage values we set
mjtg_advisory_v1 — A local-storage value that records whether you've dismissed our cookie advisory strip. If we don't see this value, we show the advisory. If we do see it, we don't. This value lives in your browser only and is never transmitted to our server.
Search-form prefilled values — When you submit the home-page finder, your route, dates, cabin and passenger count are encoded as URL parameters and used to render results on the find-flights page. We don't write these values back into your browser as cookies.
Aggregate analytics
We may use a privacy-respecting analytics service to count overall page views, see which articles are read most often, and identify slow pages we should improve. Where this counter is in use, it does not set advertising cookies, does not associate page views with personal identity, and does not let us follow you across other sites you visit.
Third-party sites we link to
When you click through to a partner site such as Kayak or Skyscanner, or to a carrier's own page, that destination site has its own cookies and its own cookie policy. We don't control what they set. If you have specific cookie concerns about a partner site, please review their notice directly.
How to manage cookies
Every modern browser provides controls for cookies and local storage. You can block cookies entirely, allow them only from sites you visit directly, or clear them at any time. You can also clear our mjtg_advisory_v1 value alone — the advisory will reappear on your next visit. Note that blocking essential storage values can break small UI behaviors (the advisory reappearing every visit, for example).
Changes
If we change how we use cookies, we'll update this notice and revise the "last updated" date at the top of the page.
