At Qoroud LLC, we want your experience on our website to be seamless and inspiring as you plan your aerial adventure over places like the Great Barrier Reef or the Himalayas. To make that happen, we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your visit, personalize your journey, and keep our site running smoothly. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them. We aim to be clear and straightforward, so you know exactly what’s going on when you browse our site.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device (like your phone or computer) when you visit our website. They help us remember things like your preferences or how you navigate our site, so we can make your next visit even better. We also use similar tools, like pixels or web beacons, to track how our site’s used. These tools don’t store personal details like your name or email unless you choose to share them (like when booking a tour).
Types of Cookies We Use
We use different kinds of cookies to power your experience on our site. Here’s what you’ll find:
Essential Cookies: These are must-haves for our website to work. They let you browse tours, add a hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia to your cart, or log into your account. Without them, our site wouldn’t function properly.
Performance Cookies: These help us see how you use our site—like which pages you visit or if you click on a Santorini tour. We use this info to fix glitches, speed up load times, or make navigation easier.

Functional Cookies: These remember your choices, like your preferred language or currency, so you don’t have to reset them every time. They make your experience smoother, like keeping your tour filters saved.
Marketing Cookies: These let us show you ads for tours you might love, like a paragliding adventure in Patagonia, based on what you’ve browsed. They also help us measure how well our ads are doing.
Analytics Cookies: These track broader trends, like how many people check out our Himalayan Sky Pilgrimage. They give us insights to improve our site and tailor our offerings.
How We Use Cookies
Cookies help us make your journey with Qoroud as epic as our tours. Here’s what they do:
Smooth Navigation: Ensure you can move from browsing Alps paragliding to booking a Serengeti flight without hiccups.
Personalized Experience: Suggest tours or destinations based on what you’ve looked at, like showing you more desert adventures after checking out our Namib trek.
Site Improvement: Spot where users get stuck (like a slow-loading page) so we can make our site faster and easier to use.
Marketing and Ads: Show you relevant promotions, like a discount on a Santorini balloon ride, on our site or other platforms (only if you’re okay with it).
Analytics: Help us understand what’s popular—like if more people are into Iceland aurora flights—so we can keep offering what you love.
We don’t use cookies to collect sensitive info unless it’s tied to a specific action, like booking a tour, and we never share cookie data with unrelated third parties.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies come from our trusted partners who help us run the site or promote our tours:
Analytics Providers: Tools that track site traffic, like how many visitors explore our Patagonia tour page, so we can improve content.
Advertising Partners: Platforms that show you Qoroud ads elsewhere online, tailored to your interests (like a banner for our Andes tour after you browse it).
Payment Processors: Cookies that ensure secure checkouts when you book a tour, keeping your payment details safe.
Social Media: If you share a tour link or review on social platforms, their cookies might track that action to make sharing easier.
These partners are bound by strict agreements to protect your data and only use it for the services we’ve hired them for.
Your Cookie Choices
You’re in charge of how cookies work on our site. Here’s how you can manage them:
Cookie Banner: When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies (like marketing or analytics). Essential cookies are always on to keep the site running.
Browser Settings: You can block or delete cookies through your browser (like Chrome or Safari). Check your browser’s help section for steps. Blocking cookies might make some features, like saving your cart, less smooth.
Opt-Out Tools: For marketing cookies, you can opt out via our cookie banner or third-party tools like ad preference managers on other platforms.
Do Not Track: If your browser has a “Do Not Track” setting, we’ll respect it for non-essential cookies, though essential ones will still apply.
Choosing to limit cookies won’t stop you from browsing our tours, but it might affect personalization or site performance.
How Long Cookies Last
Cookies have different lifespans based on their job:
Session Cookies: These vanish when you close your browser, like ones that keep you logged in while you browse.
Persistent Cookies: These stick around longer (up to 2 years) to remember your preferences or track site usage over time.
You can clear cookies anytime through your browser to start fresh. We also regularly review our cookies to ensure we’re only keeping what’s needed.
Data Protection and Cookies
We take your privacy seriously and protect cookie-related data with care:
Encryption: Data from cookies, like payment info during booking, is encrypted to keep it secure.
Limited Access: Only authorized Qoroud staff or partners can access cookie data, and only for specific tasks.
No Unnecessary Sharing: We don’t sell or share cookie data with anyone outside our trusted partners, and they’re bound to keep it confidential.
For more on how we handle your data, check out our Privacy Policy.
