TheUniverseAs LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website TheUniverseAs (the “Site”). This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on the Site, why we use them, and what control you have over them. We keep cookie usage to an absolute minimum because the Site exists primarily to let people read thoughtful travel writing without unnecessary tracking or interruptions.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit. They help the site remember certain information about your visit so it can function better or provide a more consistent experience next time you come back.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, local storage, session storage, and other tracking methods that serve a comparable purpose.
Cookies We Use
The Site uses only strictly necessary cookies and no advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies of any kind at this time.
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the basic operation of the website. Without them certain features simply would not work. These may include:
Cookies that remember your language preference if the Site offers multiple languages
Cookies that help manage session security and prevent basic abuse (for example, blocking repeated failed actions that look like automated attacks)
Temporary session cookies that keep track of your navigation within the same visit so pages load correctly and forms (if any) submit properly
These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information, are not used for profiling or marketing, and are deleted automatically when you close your browser (session cookies) or after a short period (persistent necessary cookies).
We do not place any third-party cookies from advertising networks, social media platforms, analytics providers, or content delivery networks that track behavior across websites.
If in the future we decide to add features that require additional cookies (for example, a contact form with CAPTCHA, embedded maps, or optional analytics with strong privacy controls), we will update this policy first and make sure visitors are clearly informed and given the ability to accept or decline.
How to Manage Cookies
You can control cookies through your web 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 first place
Receive a notification when a cookie is about to be placed
Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Site from functioning properly (for example, pages might not load correctly or certain preferences might reset every visit).
Instructions for common browsers are usually found in the “Help” or “Settings” section:
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data
You can also use browser extensions or privacy-focused tools that block trackers automatically, though these may affect how the Site behaves.
No Tracking or Profiling
We do not participate in any cross-site tracking, device fingerprinting, or behavioral advertising.
We do not share cookie-derived data with third parties for commercial purposes.
There are no retargeting pixels, no social media share buttons that load trackers, and no embedded content from platforms that set persistent cookies without consent.
Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may revise this policy occasionally to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or Site features. The updated version will appear here with a new “Last updated” date. If the changes are significant we will try to notify visitors through a prominent notice on the homepage for a reasonable period.
