Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 4, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how The Way We Went - BJ & HJ Travel Blog ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on waywewent.com (the "Site"), and the choices available to you. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can be used to remember information about you, such as your login state or preferences.

When you first visit the Site, a cookie banner lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category:

  • Essential — always on. Covers the member session cookie (ghost-members-ssr), set only if you sign in or sign up as a member/subscriber, so the Site can recognize you as logged in. Also includes short-lived local storage used by the sign-up/sign-in widget.
  • Analytics — off by default. Not currently used on the Site; the option exists so that if we add analytics in the future, it will only run for visitors who've opted in.
  • Marketing — off by default. Not currently used on the Site; the option exists so that if we add marketing/advertising cookies in the future, they will only run for visitors who've opted in.

Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage so we don't ask again on future visits, and you can change it at any time (see "Managing your preferences" below).

Third-party requests

Some pages may load scripts or fonts from third-party content delivery networks needed for site functionality. Loading them means your browser makes a direct request to that provider, which will see your IP address, but no cookie is set by us for this purpose.

Managing your preferences

You can change your cookie choices at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site, which will bring the cookie banner back on your next visit. You can also block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, though this may sign you out of your member account.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above.
