Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 12, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how MirMaze (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://mirmaze.com/ (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, our Affiliate Disclosure, and our Terms and Conditions.

By continuing to browse or use the Site, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you have disabled them in your browser or withdrawn your consent where consent is required.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses. They do not give us access to your device beyond the information they store. Similar technologies — such as pixels, tags, and local storage — work in comparable ways, and when we refer to “cookies” in this policy, we mean cookies and these similar technologies together.

Cookies can be “first-party” (set by MirMaze directly) or “third-party” (set by another company whose services we use, such as Google Analytics or Amazon). They can also be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which stay on your device for a set period).

2. How We Use Cookies

MirMaze is a guide to mirror mazes, attractions, and fun places. We use cookies to:

  • Keep the Site working properly and securely;
  • Understand how visitors find and use our guides, reviews, and pages;
  • Remember choices you make, such as display preferences;
  • Measure the performance of our content and improve it over time;
  • Support our affiliate relationships, including the Amazon Associates program, so that qualifying purchases can be tracked and credited; and
  • Show relevant advertising and measure its effectiveness, where applicable.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

The table below summarises the categories of cookies that may be set when you use MirMaze.

Category Purpose Examples
Strictly necessary Required for the Site to function, load securely, and remember consent choices. These cannot normally be switched off through the Site. Session cookies, security and load-balancing cookies, cookie-consent preference cookies.
Performance and analytics Help us understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are popular, how long people stay, and how they arrived — so we can improve our content. Google Analytics cookies such as _ga and _gid.
Functionality Remember settings and choices you make to give you a smoother, more personalised experience. Language or region preferences, display settings, dismissed notices.
Advertising Used to deliver relevant ads and limit how often you see the same ad, and to measure ad campaign performance. Advertising network cookies and pixels, including third-party ad partners.
Affiliate tracking Set when you click an affiliate link on MirMaze. They allow the merchant or affiliate network to recognise that you came from our Site so that we may earn a commission on a qualifying purchase, at no extra cost to you. Amazon Associates tracking cookies (for example, cookies associated with the Amazon Associates program), and similar cookies from other affiliate networks.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to operate. Without them, pages may not display correctly, and features such as remembering your cookie preferences may not work. Because they are necessary, they are generally set without requiring consent, though you can still block them in your browser (which may affect how the Site works).

Performance and Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use MirMaze. Google Analytics cookies help us see, for example, which mirror maze guides and attraction articles are most read, how visitors navigate the Site, and where our traffic comes from. The information collected is generally aggregated and does not directly identify you.

You can learn more about how Google uses data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of Google Analytics across websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make — such as your preferred settings or a notice you have already dismissed — so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit. If you disable them, some parts of the Site may not work as intended.

Advertising Cookies

Where advertising is displayed on MirMaze, advertising cookies may be used to show you ads that are more relevant to your interests and to measure how effective those ads are. These cookies may be set by third-party advertising partners and may track your activity across different websites.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies

MirMaze participates in affiliate programs, including Amazon Associates. When you click an affiliate link on our Site — for example, a link to a product, ticket, or attraction — a cookie may be placed by the merchant or affiliate network. This cookie records that you arrived from MirMaze and allows us to earn a commission if you make a qualifying purchase.

These cookies do not increase the price you pay. They are set by the affiliate network or merchant, not by MirMaze, and their duration and behaviour are controlled by that third party. For more details, please see our Affiliate Disclosure and the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant affiliate program, such as Amazon.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on the Site are set by third parties whose services we use. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. The main third-party services used on MirMaze are:

  • Google Analytics — for measuring traffic and understanding how visitors use the Site.
  • Amazon Associates — for tracking affiliate referrals and qualifying purchases made through our links.
  • Other affiliate networks and advertising partners — where we link to attractions, tickets, or products, or where advertising is displayed.

We do not control third-party cookies. To understand how these parties use cookies, please review their own cookie and privacy policies. You can also manage or block third-party cookies through your browser settings, as described below.

5. How Long Cookies Last

Cookies remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose:

  • Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain for a set period — which may range from a few minutes to several months or longer — or until you delete them manually.
  • Analytics cookies such as Google Analytics cookies typically last from 24 hours up to around two years, depending on the cookie.
  • Affiliate tracking cookies usually last for a limited window set by the affiliate network (often 24 hours to 30 days, and sometimes longer for certain programs).

Exact durations are set by the provider of each cookie and may change over time.

6. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view stored cookies, delete them, block all cookies, or block only third-party cookies. Here is where to find these settings in popular browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies (and “See all site data and permissions”).
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
  • Safari (macOS): Safari → Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
  • Safari (iOS/iPadOS): Settings → Safari → Privacy & Security → Block All Cookies.
  • Google Chrome (Android): Chrome menu → Settings → Site settings → Cookies.

Please note that if you block or delete cookies, some parts of MirMaze may not work properly, and your preferences may not be saved. Blocking affiliate tracking cookies may also prevent us from receiving credit for referrals, though it will not affect the price you pay.

You can also opt out of interest-based advertising through tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page or your device’s ad settings, where available.

7. Consent and Withdrawing Consent

Where required by applicable law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, such as analytics, advertising, and affiliate tracking cookies. You can give or refuse consent through any cookie banner or consent tool shown on the Site.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by:

  • Using the cookie settings or consent tool on the Site, if available;
  • Deleting cookies already stored on your device through your browser; and
  • Changing your browser settings to block cookies in future.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew it. Strictly necessary cookies may continue to be used because they are needed for the Site to function.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the services we rely on, or applicable law. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you stay informed about how MirMaze uses cookies.
