Cookie Policy – Rise Youth Expeditions
(Last updated: December 2025)


Hey there! 👋
We love transparency — especially when it comes to your privacy. Like almost every website, riseyouthexpeditions.com uses cookies and similar technologies so the site works well and we can keep improving your experience.

We only use them with your permission (except for the strictly necessary ones), and you’re always in control.

What are cookies & similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We also sometimes use pixels, local storage, and other tracking tools — they all do basically the same job: help the website remember you and your preferences.

How we use cookies on riseyouthexpeditions.com:

We promise:

No selling of your personal data
No cross-site tracking for advertising
Anonymized IP addresses in Google Analytics (GDPR-ready mode)

Your rights under GDPR:
Because we care about visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and Switzerland, you have these rights:

1) Right to be informed → that’s why you’re reading this nice policy!

2) Right to withdraw consent → click the cookie icon in the bottom-left corner any time

3) Right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object → just email us hello@riseyouthexpeditions.com

4) Right to data portability → we’ll send you your data in a common format if you ask

Legal basis (the lawyer bit, but short)

Essential cookies → Legitimate interest (the site literally wouldn’t work without them)

Analytics & functionality cookies → Your explicit consent (given through our cookie banner)
