A short, honest account of the very few cookies and similar tools this Site uses — and how to switch the optional ones off.
Last updated: 20 April 2026.
This Cookie Policy explains how Annapurna Trails Media LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on theannapurna.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember your actions and preferences. "Similar technologies" include things like local storage, which we use to remember your cookie choice on this Site.
These are required for the Site to work and cannot be switched off. We use a single piece of browser local storage (named ann_consent_v1) to remember whether you accepted or declined optional cookies, so we don't ask you on every page. It contains no personal information and is not used for tracking.
Only with your consent, we may use privacy-friendly analytics to count visits and understand which guides are popular, in aggregate. This helps us decide what to write next. These are only set if you choose "Accept all" in our cookie banner, and you can decline them with "Essential only."
Some features rely on third parties that may set their own cookies when you interact with them:
We do not control cookies set by these third parties. Please see their own privacy and cookie notices for details. We use no advertising trackers and no affiliate tracking of any kind.
When you first visit, our banner lets you Accept all or choose Essential only. You can change your mind at any time by clearing this Site's data in your browser, which will make the banner appear again. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you do this under "Privacy" or "Settings." Note that blocking strictly necessary storage may stop parts of the Site working as intended.
Most browsers also support a "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signal. Because we do not track you across other sites, there is little for these signals to disable here, but we respect them where applicable.
We may update this Cookie Policy as the Site evolves. The "last updated" date above shows the latest version.
