Cookie Policy

Transparency & Consent Standards | Effective: February 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small plain-text files stored on your browser or device when you browse websites. They enable web applications to preserve session states, remember your language and UI choices, and collect aggregated telemetry about which hiking guides receive readership attention.

2. Google Consent Mode v2 Implementation

To respect user autonomy and align with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and global privacy best practices, Magnamyth employs Google Consent Mode v2 (Advanced). Prior to your express choice via our consent banner, non-essential data signals (advertising, profiling, and analytics) are classified as 'denied'. Only strictly necessary functional storage remains active.
