Cookies Policy
This cookies policy explains how Beaconfriendmx uses cookies and similar tracking tools to guarantee fast navigation speeds and reliable interaction design on our platform.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text records downloaded to your local computer or phone when navigating online interfaces. They help websites remember preferences, like your last used search configurations or visual category selections.
2. What Cookies We Use
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required to process custom visual configurations, load gallery image assets instantly, and execute soft page transitions.
- Performance & Analytics: Anonymized web data counters to identify what hiking pathways and winter destinations are viewed most.
3. Modifying Cookie Settings
You can block or remove cookies inside your specific personal web browser configurations. However, disabling all tracking might restrict access to visual gallery lightbox animations and map elements.
4. Complete Cookie Breakdown
Below is a comprehensive list of cookie types deployed on our servers:
- Session Preservation: These temporary cookies track layout adjustments (such as visual dark-mode and custom navigation state) while you move from page to page. They expire instantly once your browser window is closed.
- Interactive Lightbox Cache: Holds temporary image index parameters so our customized photography portfolio modal opens seamlessly and preserves high resolution displays.
- Local Analytics Tracking: We use privacy-centered tracking systems to log broad country locations and popular trails. These parameters do not tie back to individual IP profiles or personal emails.
5. How to Control Cookies in Popular Browsers
If you wish to control, block, or delete cookies, you can do so through the built-in preferences panel of your chosen browser:
- Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
- Safari: Go to Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies.

6. Do Not Track (DNT) Indicators
Please note that because there is no consensus on standard industry signals, beaconfriendmx.com does not automatically alter its background operations upon receiving "Do Not Track" browser requests. However, we strictly prioritize your privacy, and none of our functional script components track user behaviors across external domains.
