Legal & site information
Cookie Policy
This policy explains how majorelle-garden-guide.com uses cookies and similar technologies. It covers what cookies are, which ones this site uses, and how you can control them. It applies to all visitors to the site.
A. Essential cookies keep the site running.
Session handling and security checks depend on them. Blocking these may stop pages from loading properly.
B. Analytics cookies show which pages are read.
They report visits in aggregate, such as which garden articles are opened most often.
C. No advertising cookies are set here.
This guide sells no tickets and runs no targeted advertising profiles on visitors.
D. Your browser controls the rest.
Settings allow you to block, delete or be notified about cookies at any time.
The guide is published from Marrakech; the site is read from anywhere.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember information between pages or visits, such as preferences or session state. Some cookies are essential for the site to work; others support analytics or other functions.
When you open an article about the jardin majorelle, for example, a cookie can remember that you already dismissed a notice or which language layout your browser prefers. It does not tell us who you are. On this guide, cookies never hold your name, your email address or any payment detail, because there is no ticket checkout on the site. They carry small pieces of technical state: whether a page was already shown, how a session is kept stable, and similar housekeeping notes that make reading smoother.
Two families, one difference
- Essential cookies keep the site functioning from visit to visit.
- Non-essential cookies support measurement, and they are only set where the law requires your consent first.
Record of use
Cookies we use
We use essential cookies required for the site to function, including session handling and security. We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed. We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertising on this site.
The blue garden wall is the subject here, not a decorative backdrop: the same painted surface visitors photograph on the walk toward the villa.
Essential
Session and security
Keeps a visit stable while you move between articles, and helps protect forms and links from misuse.
Essential
Interface memory
Remembers small interface choices so a page does not repeat itself on every load.
Analytics
Readership counts
Shows which garden pages are read, in totals rather than personal profiles.
Not used
Targeted advertising
No advertising or cross-site profiling cookies are set by this guide.
How long do these cookies stay on my device? open
Session cookies clear when you close the browser. Any longer-lived cookie used for measurement is kept to the shortest period the provider supports, and you can delete it at any time from your browser settings.
Do cookies affect the garden articles I can read? open
No. Articles on the history of the majorelle garden, its architecture, the blue villa and the legacy of yves saint laurent stay readable either way. Blocking measurement cookies only means we see less about which pages are useful.
Third-party cookies
Analytics services we use may set their own cookies. These providers process data according to their own policies. We choose providers that limit data use to site measurement and do not permit them to use the data for unrelated purposes.
-
Who sets the cookie
Essential cookies come from this site. Measurement cookies are set by the analytics provider we have configured, and they are read only by that provider.
-
What they may record
Typical entries are the page address, the time of the visit, the browser type and a rough region. Nothing that identifies you by name, and no payment information, because no payments happen here.
-
What we do not allow
We do not permit providers to sell measurement data, to build advertising audiences from it, or to combine it with data from other sites for profiling.
-
If you would rather opt out
Block third-party cookies in your browser. The guide continues to work; you simply stop appearing in the totals. Provider privacy pages explain their own retention periods.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, and to be notified when a cookie is set. Blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works.
The steps below are the usual ones across common desktop and mobile browsers. Menu names differ slightly between versions, so look for the privacy or site-data section if you cannot find the exact wording.
See what is stored
Open your browser's cookie or site-data list and read the entries for this domain. Names and sizes are shown there.
Block what you do not want
Most browsers let you refuse third-party cookies while keeping first-party ones, which is usually the gentlest option.
Clear what is already there
Deleting stored cookies resets preferences and ends any remembered session state from earlier visits.
Ask to be notified
A notification each time a cookie is set is the slowest option, but it shows exactly when measurement runs.
If the garden guide looks broken after you change these settings, re-enable essential cookies for this domain and reload the page. Everything else on the site is informational: articles about the blue garden, visitor notes and photo pages do not depend on advertising cookies.
Consent
Where required by law, we ask for consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using any cookie controls provided on the site.
Withdrawing consent does not affect essential cookies, which are needed for the site to run, and it does not limit what you can read. The guide keeps its promise from the first page: it is an independent information resource about the Majorelle Garden in Marrakech, and it does not sell tickets or trade visitor data.
If you arrive from a search or a social post, the notice you see is the same one every visitor gets. There is no separate tracking version of this site.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if our use of cookies changes. The current version is published on this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
The policy shown here is the version in force for 2026. When something material changes, for example if a new measurement service is added, the wording on this page is revised at the same time and the change is described in plain terms rather than buried in a footnote.
