Carrie On Adventures LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website carrieonadventures.com (the “Site”). This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on the Site, why we use them, and how you can manage them. We aim to be transparent about our practices so you can make informed choices about your browsing experience.
The Site is a personal travel blog that shares original writing, reflections, and notes. All content is freely accessible without registration, payment, or any form of user account.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit, such as language preference or items in a shopping cart on other sites. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, local storage, and device identifiers.
We use only strictly necessary and minimal cookies to make the Site function properly and to collect basic, anonymized usage information. We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioral targeting, retargeting, or creating detailed user profiles.
Cookies We Use
The Site relies on a small number of cookies and related technologies, all of which fall into the following limited categories.
Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to work correctly. They enable core functionality such as loading pages securely (HTTPS), maintaining your session as you navigate between articles, and preventing basic security threats like cross-site request forgery. Without these, the Site would not load properly or would be unsafe. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are usually session-based (deleted when you close your browser).
Analytics Cookies (Limited and Anonymized)
We use very basic, privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors interact with the content. This helps us see which sections are read most often and whether improvements are needed for mobile users or page speed. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized — we do not track individual users across sessions or websites, do not link data to personal identifiers, and do not share it for marketing purposes. IP addresses are masked or truncated before storage where possible. These cookies may persist for up to 12–24 months but contain no information that identifies you personally.
No Other Categories
We do not use performance cookies beyond the minimal analytics described above.
We do not use functional cookies for remembering preferences like dark mode (the Site does not have this feature).
We do not use targeting or advertising cookies.
We do not embed third-party social media widgets, video players, maps, or ad networks that set their own cookies without your explicit interaction.
Third-Party Cookies
At present, the Site does not intentionally place third-party cookies. We do not embed content from advertising networks, social platforms, or analytics providers that set tracking cookies automatically.
If you click an outbound link to another website (for example, a book recommendation or external resource), that site may set its own cookies. Those are governed by the third party’s privacy and cookies policy, not ours. We encourage you to review those policies when you leave the Site.
How to Manage Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
View what cookies are stored on your device
Delete individual cookies or all cookies
Block cookies from being set in the future
Receive a notification when a cookie is about to be placed
Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies may prevent the Site from functioning correctly (pages may fail to load, navigation may break, or security features may not work).
Because we use only strictly necessary cookies and very limited anonymized analytics, refusing non-essential cookies will have almost no impact on your ability to read and enjoy the content.
Instructions for common browsers:

Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may update this policy if we add new features that involve different cookies or if legal requirements change. Any updates will be posted here with a revised “Last Updated” date. We recommend checking this page occasionally.
Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
