Last updated: May 25, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar browser-storage technologies currently used by GambaUganda Safaris on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.

1. What We Mean by Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies can include browser local storage, session storage, and security scripts that store or access information in your browser.
2. How We Use These Technologies
At the time of this update, we use cookies and similar storage mainly for essential website operation, security, preference memory, and payment-flow protection. We do not use a public advertising or behavior-tracking stack on this site.
We may also use limited analytics technologies to understand overall website usage and improve our services. Analytics technologies are optional and are activated only after you choose to accept analytics in our cookie notice.
3. Current Cookies and Browser Storage in Use

gus-language |
Browser local storage | Remembers the language selected on the website. | Until cleared by you |
homeChatBannerDismissed |
Browser local storage | Remembers whether the homepage chat-style prompt was dismissed on your device. | Until cleared by you |
gus-payment-idempotency:* |
Browser session storage | Helps prevent duplicate payment-initiation requests during the same browser session. | Current browser session |
_ga, _ga_* |
First-party analytics cookies | Used by Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the website (e.g., pages visited, time spent, general usage patterns). | Up to 2 years |
Google reCAPTCHA storage, including cookies such as _GRECAPTCHA |
Third-party security technology | Helps protect forms, payment flows, and messaging actions from spam, abuse, and automated misuse. | Set by Google under its own policies |
4. Third-Party Services
We use Google reCAPTCHA as part of our security controls. When reCAPTCHA is loaded for protected inquiry, WhatsApp, or payment actions, Google may place or access cookies or similar storage according to Google's own documentation and policies. If you follow external payment links, including Pesapal payment pages, or third-party supplier links, those providers may also use their own cookies under their own terms.
We may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, approximate location, and device type. This information is used in aggregated form to improve our website and services. Google may process this data in accordance with its own privacy policies.
Some pages may also load third-party resources such as Google Maps, Google Fonts, or CDN-hosted icon files. These providers may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser, and requested resource under their own policies.
5. Managing Cookies and Storage
You can manage cookies and browser storage through your browser settings. You can usually delete existing cookies, clear local or session storage, block future cookies, or configure site-specific permissions. Restricting some technologies may affect site security, language memory, inquiry submission, or payment-related functionality.
You can also reopen our cookie notice to accept or reject optional analytics. If you reject analytics, essential security, language, inquiry, and payment-protection storage may still be used where needed to provide the website and protect transactions.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if site behavior, security tooling, or legal requirements change. The latest version and effective date will be posted on this page.
