Cookie Policy — last updated 23 May 2026. Manage your preferences at any time using the button in the corner.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help
sites remember preferences and understand usage patterns. CaribooFalls also uses the
browser’s localStorage API in addition to cookies for the same purposes,
to ensure consent and age-gate state persists even in environments where cookies
behave inconsistently (such as certain file:// protocol contexts).
CaribooFalls uses the following first-party cookies and localStorage entries:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cz_age_ok |
Strictly Necessary | Stores whether you confirmed you are 18 or older. Prevents the age gate from re-appearing on every page load. | 180 days |
cz_consent_v2 |
Strictly Necessary | Stores your cookie consent choice (accept all / reject optional / custom). Used to replay your consent preference on subsequent visits and to fire the correct GCM v2 signals. | 180 days |
Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid, etc.) |
Analytics (Optional) | Aggregated, anonymised usage statistics. Only set if you accept optional analytics cookies through the preference centre. | Up to 2 years |
We do not set any advertising, retargeting, or third-party profiling cookies. No cross-site tracking occurs on CaribooFalls.
CaribooFalls implements Google Consent Mode version 2. When the page loads, all consent
signals are initialised to denied (except security_storage which
is always granted as it supports essential security functions). This means
no marketing or analytics data is collected until you give your explicit consent.
The following table describes each GCM v2 signal and how it is set on CaribooFalls:
| GCM v2 Signal | Default | After Consent | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
ad_storage |
denied | granted (if Advertising consented) | Storage for advertising cookies. Not used by CaribooFalls; included for full GCM compliance. |
ad_user_data |
denied | granted (if Advertising consented) | Sending user data to Google for advertising. Not applicable to CaribooFalls. |
ad_personalization |
denied | granted (if Advertising consented) | Personalised advertising signal. Not applicable to CaribooFalls. |
analytics_storage |
denied | granted (if Analytics consented) | Enables Google Analytics cookie storage and reporting on this site. |
functionality_storage |
denied | granted (if Analytics consented) | Enables storage for functional features (e.g., language preferences). Tied to analytics consent here. |
personalization_storage |
denied | granted (if Analytics consented) | Personalised content storage. Tied to analytics consent on this platform. |
security_storage |
granted | granted (always) | Storage required for essential security functions. Always active; cannot be disabled. |
The wait_for_update parameter is set to 150 ms, giving the consent
banner script a brief window to read your saved preference and fire a consent update
before any analytics tags fire. This ensures that returning visitors who have already
accepted analytics are not double-counted as “no consent” events.
You can manage your cookie choices on CaribooFalls in any of the following ways:
cz_age_ok and cz_consent_v2 entries.
Note: Deleting the cz_age_ok entry will cause the age gate to
reappear on your next visit. This is expected behaviour.
The third-party services used by CaribooFalls (Google Fonts, Bootstrap CDN, Font Awesome CDN) may set their own cookies as part of their standard delivery mechanism. These are delivery infrastructure cookies and are not used to track you across sites for advertising purposes. If you block third-party cookies in your browser, CaribooFalls will still function correctly but fonts and icons may not load.
We may update this Cookie Policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we will notify you through a notice on the website. Continued use of CaribooFalls after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
