Cookies Policy
(Last updated on 2 September 2026)
This Cookie Policy explains how Salty Travel (“Salty Travel”, “we”, “us” or “our”), a destination management company based in Cape Town, South Africa, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on salty.travel (the “Site”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have to control them.
By continuing to browse or use our Site after being shown our cookie banner, you are agreeing to our use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you have adjusted your preferences.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner.
We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” throughout this policy.
Types of Cookies we use
These cookies are essential for the Site to function, such as remembering your enquiry or booking details as you move between pages, keeping the Site secure, and balancing load across our servers. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be switched off in our systems. Examples: session and load-balancing cookies, cookie-consent preference cookie.
These cookies help us understand how visitors find and use salty.travel — which pages and safaris are most popular, how far visitors scroll, and whether pages are loading correctly — so we can improve the Site. We use tools such as Google Analytics for this purpose. Examples: _ga, _ga_*, _gid (Google Analytics).
These cookies remember choices you make — such as your preferred currency, language, or a destination you were browsing — so we can tailor the Site to you on return visits and avoid asking for the same information repeatedly.
These cookies are set by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant Salty Travel adverts on other sites, and to measure how effective our campaigns are. We do not sell this data. Examples: _fbp, fr (Meta / Facebook & Instagram ads).
Some pages embed content from third parties — such as our WhatsApp chat widget, Instagram feed, YouTube videos, or LinkedIn — which may set their own cookies. These are governed by the third party’s own privacy and cookie policies, not this one.
