Cookie Policy
The cookies and browser storage Good Secrets Safaris uses, what each one is for, and how to change your choices.
Last updated 29 September 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) works in a similar way. We use both, and this policy covers them together as “cookies”.
Your choices
When you first visit we ask which optional categories you are happy with. Strictly necessary cookies are always on because the site cannot work properly without them. Preferences, analytics and marketing stay off unless you switch them on, and you can change your mind at any time with the Cookie settings button below or the link in the footer. We ask again after six months, or sooner if we change what we use.
Strictly necessary
These remember your cookie choice, keep the admin area signed in for our team, and keep the safaris and stays you choose to save on your shortlist. They are never used to track you.
Preferences
These remember whether you prefer prices in US dollars or Kenyan shillings, and whether you want Kenyan-resident rates, so you do not have to set them on every visit. If you switch preferences off, your choice still applies while you browse but is forgotten when you close the tab.
Analytics
These help us understand which pages, guides and planning tools are useful by counting page views against a random identifier that lasts only for your browser tab. If Google Analytics is enabled on the site, it sets its own cookies only after you allow analytics.
Marketing
These record how you arrived on our website, such as a search engine, a partner site or a campaign link, and include that with any enquiry you send so we can see which channels bring real safari requests. If Google Analytics is enabled, advertising signals are shared with Google only when both analytics and marketing are allowed.
Blocking cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site such as your shortlist may not work as expected.
