Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2025

Nothing Before You Choose

No consent-bearing tracker is set until you answer the banner. Audience measurement is declared refused by default (Consent Mode, analytics_storage: denied) and is enabled only after you click "Accept". The affiliate script loads at that same moment, and not before.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Champagne.now uses a minimal approach — only what is necessary to operate the Site and, with your agreement, to understand how it is used.

Cookies We Use

NameTypePurposeDuration
cn_consentLocal StorageRecords your tracker choice so you are not asked again on every page. Never leaves your browser; never sent to a server. Required to honour your choice, and therefore exempt from consent.6 months
cn_ageLocal StorageRemembers your age verification response on the home page so you are not asked againPersistent

Changing Your Mind

The "Manage cookies" link at the foot of every page reopens the banner. Refusing after having accepted switches audience measurement off immediately. After six months the choice expires and the question is asked again.

Data Controllers

Champagne.now for the Site; Google Ireland Limited for Google Analytics; Stay22 Inc. and Travelpayouts for affiliate links. No other third party receives data from these pages.

Travelpayouts ships its script in a form designed to run before everything else on the page. We load it from our own code instead, after acceptance only: refuse, and it is never fetched.

What We Do Not Do

No targeted advertising, no sale of data, no cross-site tracking. Google's advertising parameters stay refused in all circumstances, including after you accept.

Third-Party Cookies

If you follow an affiliate link, the partner site applies its own policy, over which we have no control. Refusing our banner does not break those links — they lead to the same place, simply without attribution.

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. The "last updated" date reflects the most recent revision.
