Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 5, 2026
This policy explains what cookies and browser storage Belize Travel Insider uses, why we use them, and how you can manage or disable them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. We also use localStorage and sessionStoragefor similar purposes. Together these are referred to as “browser storage” in this policy.
2. Cookie Categories
Required for the site to function. These cannot be disabled. They include your cookie consent preference so we do not ask you again on repeat visits.
- to cookie_consent, stores your accept/decline preference
Stored on first visit to record which campaign or source brought you to the site. Used to measure which content leads to travel bookings. Retained for up to 90 days.
- to utm_source, e.g. google, instagram
- to utm_campaign, e.g. belize_adventure_2026
- to utm_medium, e.g. organic, cpc
- to first_touch_url, the first page you landed on
Set only after you grant consent. Used to measure page performance, popular content, outbound booking clicks, and where visitors tap and scroll. We do not use this data to identify you by name.
- to Page views and session duration
- to Outbound partner clicks (Viator, Booking.com, etc.)
- to Form submission events
- to Scroll depth and engagement signals
- to Microsoft Clarity, heatmaps and session recordings (_clck, _clsk)
Set by third-party platforms when you click outbound booking links. We do not control these cookies. Each partner platform governs its own tracking.
- to Viator, booking and session tracking
- to GetYourGuide, conversion attribution
- to Booking.com, affiliate session cookies
- to Expedia, referral and session cookies
- to Airbnb, referral attribution
3. Microsoft Clarity
If you accept cookies, we use Microsoft Clarity to see how people use this site. It produces heatmaps and session recordings that show the pages you view, where you tap, click, and scroll, and how far you read. We use them to find and fix things that are broken or hard to use.
Clarity collects this data for us along with your device and browser type and approximate location. Microsoft processes it on our behalf and may also use it to improve its own products. What you type into forms is masked, so it is never sent to Clarity. Clarity does not run if you decline, and it does not record the trip planner.
Clarity sets its own cookies, _clck and _clsk, to connect the pages of a visit. Microsoft may also set third-party cookies such as CLID and MUID, which can recognize a browser across other sites that use Microsoft services. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement for how Microsoft handles this data.
4. Managing Your Preferences
On your first visit, a consent banner allows you to accept or decline optional cookies (analytics and tracking). Your choice is stored and respected on future visits. If you accepted before we added session recordings, we ask you again.
To change your preference at any time, you can:
- Clear your browser’s cookies and site data, then revisit the site to see the consent banner again.
- Use your browser’s built-in privacy settings to block or delete cookies for this domain.
- Use a browser extension to block analytics or third-party tracking scripts.
Disabling optional cookies will not affect your ability to browse or use any planning features on this site.
5. Third-Party Sites
When you click outbound partner links (Viator, GetYourGuide, Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb), those platforms set their own cookies governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing each platform’s cookie policy before booking.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our technology or legal obligations change. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
