Earth Curiosa Cookie Policy Effective Date: July 30, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Earth Curiosa (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (the “Website”), in accordance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They typically include an anonymous unique identifier and information about your browsing history, preferences, and settings. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, may also be used and are covered by this policy.
What Cookies Do We Use?
We use the following types of cookies on the Website:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function properly, such as remembering your cookie preferences. They cannot be switched off and do not require consent.
- Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Website, such as which pages are visited and how long visitors spend on each page. This helps us improve our content and user experience. These cookies are only set with your consent.
- Social Media Cookies: When you use the share buttons on our articles, the relevant social media platform (such as Facebook, X, or Pinterest) may set its own cookies. These are controlled by the third-party platform, not by us, and are only triggered if you actively click a share button. We do not set these cookies ourselves.

Social media share buttons do not set cookies until you click them. If you click a share button, cookies may be set by the relevant platform in line with that platform’s own cookie and privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the policies of Facebook, X, and Pinterest (or any other platform you interact with) for details on their own cookie practices.
This table reflects the cookies we currently use and may be updated as our tools change. Google Analytics cookie names and durations are set by Google and may change without notice on their end.
