Cookie Policy
How BookVelis Travel Group LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on bookvelis.com, and how you can control your preferences.
Effective date: This Cookie Policy applies to visitors and users of the website located at bookvelis.com and related pages operated by BookVelis Travel Group LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Wyoming with its principal office at 1603 Capitol Avenue, Suite 310, Cheyenne, WY 82001, in Laramie County, Wyoming.
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which categories of cookies and similar technologies we deploy on bookvelis.com, why we use them, and how you can manage your settings across common browsers. We publish this policy so that residents of Wyoming, visitors from other U.S. states, and international users can make informed choices when they interact with our travel planning tools, contact forms, and informational content.
BookVelis Travel Group LLC respects your privacy alongside our need to operate a secure, functional website. Cookies help us remember your cookie consent choice, protect forms from abuse, and understand aggregate traffic patterns so we can improve itineraries and page performance. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how personal data is collected, used, and retained when you communicate with our Cheyenne-based team or request quotes through [email protected] or [email protected].
By continuing to use bookvelis.com after you see our cookie notice, you acknowledge that we may store and read cookies as described here, except where your browser or device settings block them. If you disable certain cookies, some features of the site may not work as intended, and our agents may need to collect certain details again by phone or email when you book travel services.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website sends to your browser or device when you load a page. They are stored on your computer, tablet, or phone and sent back to the server on later visits. Cookies can be first-party when set by bookvelis.com directly, or third-party when set by analytics providers, embedded maps, or social widgets that appear on our pages.
Similar technologies include local storage entries, session storage, pixels, and scripts that record that a browser visited a URL or completed an action. We refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy when they perform a comparable function. Session cookies expire when you close the browser; persistent cookies remain until they reach an expiration date you can often see in your browser tools, or until you delete them manually.
Cookies typically do not contain executable code. They hold identifiers, preference flags, or encrypted tokens that help our Wyoming-hosted infrastructure recognize returning sessions, maintain security, and measure how many users view destination guides or package pages. They are not a substitute for the contractual and payment information we collect when you formally book travel through BookVelis Travel Group LLC.
Types of Cookies We Use
We group cookies into essential, analytics, and functional categories. Not every user receives every cookie; what is set depends on your path through the site, whether you accept optional categories, and whether third-party scripts load successfully.
Essential cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for bookvelis.com to operate, for security, or to record the choice you make in our cookie banner. They include:
- bv_consent_status: Stores whether you clicked OK on the cookie bar or opened the Details link, so we do not repeatedly show the same prompt on every page view during your session and across short return visits from Laramie County or elsewhere.
- bv_session_route: Helps our server route your requests to the correct application instance when we scale traffic during promotional campaigns for vacation packages or group tours.
- bv_csrf_token: A security cookie tied to contact and inquiry forms, reducing automated submissions and protecting both our Cheyenne staff and genuine travelers from spam or credential stuffing attempts.
Without essential cookies, you might not be able to submit a request, stay logged in to a future client portal if we add one, or maintain a stable connection during peak hours. We treat these as necessary for the performance of our contract with you when you use our site to initiate travel services.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors discover bookvelis.com, which pages they read, and where they leave the journey. Examples include:
- _bv_page_views: A first-party counter that aggregates how often key guides, such as cultural tours or beach getaways, are opened, without storing your full name in the same cookie.
- _ga style identifiers: If we integrate a mainstream analytics suite, it may assign a random client ID to distinguish new versus returning browsers so we can report trends to our Wyoming leadership team.
- utm_referrer_cache: Preserves marketing campaign parameters from email newsletters or partner links so we know which promotion led you to a quote form, which helps us allocate resources responsibly under Laramie County and state tax rules.
We use analytics data only in aggregate or pseudonymous form to improve navigation, fix broken links, and prioritize new destination content. We do not sell analytics cookie data as a standalone product.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember choices that improve convenience but are not strictly required for the site to load. Examples include:
- bv_pref_currency or region: Remembers if you selected a preferred display currency or U.S. domestic versus international package view during a multi-step browsing session.
- bv_form_autosave: May temporarily hold partial contact form input locally so that an accidental refresh on mobile does not erase your message to our agents at [email protected].
You can decline functional cookies in your browser or clear them after each visit; the tradeoff is that you may need to re-enter preferences when planning complex itineraries with our staff.
How to Manage Cookies
You remain in control of cookies through your browser and, on some devices, through system settings. Below are general steps for widely used browsers. Menu names change with updates, so refer to the vendor help pages for the latest wording.
Google Chrome: Open the menu, choose Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies, clear cookies when you close the browser, or see a per-site list where you remove bookvelis.com entries individually. Use "Block all cookies" only if you accept that our forms and security checks may fail.
Mozilla Firefox: Open Settings, select Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data. Firefox lets you delete cookies, manage exceptions for bookvelis.com, and enable Enhanced Tracking Protection for stricter blocking of cross-site trackers while still allowing essential first-party cookies if you whitelist our domain.
Apple Safari: On macOS, open Safari Settings, go to Privacy, and manage Cookies and website data. On iOS, use Settings, Safari, then Block All Cookies or enable Prevent Cross-Site Tracking. Safari Intelligent Tracking Prevention may limit third-party analytics even when you are fine with first-party storage for BookVelis Travel Group LLC.
Microsoft Edge: Open Settings, select Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies and site data. Edge provides per-site controls similar to Chrome, including options to allow or block cookies specifically for bookvelis.com while leaving defaults for other sites you trust.
If you use private or incognito windows, cookies usually delete automatically at the end of the session, which is useful when you share a device but still want to reach our Cheyenne office for a personalized quote during standard hours Mon through Sat, 8AM to 7PM MST.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on bookvelis.com may embed content from airlines, hotel partners, mapping services, or social networks. Those providers may set their own cookies governed by their policies, not this document. We select partners that align with our standards, but we do not control their files. We encourage you to read their privacy and cookie notices when you interact with embedded fare calendars, maps to Wyoming regional airports, or share buttons.
When we link out to external booking tools operated by suppliers, you leave our first-party cookie environment. BookVelis Travel Group LLC remains responsible under Wyoming law for our own practices, but not for every tag a third party fires after you click away. If you have questions about a specific integration on a page, contact us at [email protected] and reference the URL and approximate time of your visit so our Laramie County based compliance contact can investigate.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" or similar preference. There is no uniform industry standard for how websites must respond. BookVelis Travel Group LLC currently does not change essential security or consent cookies solely because a DNT header appears. We do limit optional analytics where feasible and honor applicable state privacy laws as they evolve for Wyoming residents and other U.S. consumers.
If future regulations require a specific technical response to DNT or global privacy control signals, we will update this Cookie Policy and our internal procedures at our Cheyenne office to stay aligned with State of Wyoming obligations and any federal framework that applies to travel intermediaries.
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy when we add new site features, change analytics vendors, or respond to legal developments in Laramie County, Wyoming, or nationwide. The effective date at the top will change when we post a material update. Continued use of bookvelis.com after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy, except where applicable law requires a fresh consent for certain cookies.
Minor clarifications, such as fixing typos or adding examples of cookie names, may be posted without advance notice, but we will not reduce your rights in a substantive way without highlighting the change on our Legal pages or in direct email when we have a business relationship with you.
