Cookie Policy for MorocVista
Effective Date: January 1, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how MorocVista.com (“Site”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://morocvista.com. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy found at https://morocvista.com/privacy-policy/. By using our Site and consenting via our cookie banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, MorocVista.com) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
We may also use similar technologies like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”) and local storage for similar purposes. For simplicity, this policy refers to all these technologies as “cookies”.
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Site, analyze performance, deliver advertising, and track affiliate referrals. These are outlined below:
- To Operate Our Site: Essential cookies for navigation and basic functions.
- To Improve Our Site: Performance and analytics cookies (like Google Analytics) help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, allowing us to improve content and user experience.
- To Provide Functionality: Remembering choices you make (though minimal on our current site).
- To Deliver Relevant Advertising: Advertising cookies (like Google AdSense) help show ads that are more likely to be relevant to you based on your browsing habits.
- To Support Affiliate Marketing: Affiliate cookies track when you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, allowing us to earn a commission.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for you to browse the Site and use its features. They are usually set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services. You cannot opt-out of these cookies as the website cannot function properly without them.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: These collect information about how you use our Site, like which pages you visit most often. This data helps us optimize the Site and make it easier to navigate. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Information collected is often aggregated and anonymous.
- Functionality Cookies: These allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language preference, if applicable) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
- Advertising/Targeting Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission (e.g., Google AdSense). They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
- Affiliate Cookies: When you click on a link to an affiliate partner’s site, a cookie is placed on your browser by that partner to track that the referral came from MorocVista.com, allowing us to potentially earn a commission if you make a purchase.
5. Specific Third-Party Cookies We Use
We use the following primary third-party services which may set cookies:
- Google Analytics: Uses cookies (e.g., _ga, _gid) to collect data about website traffic and user behaviour. This helps us understand site usage and improve content. The data collected is generally anonymized.

- Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Google AdSense: Uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve personalized and non-personalized ads on our Site based on your visits to this and other sites on the internet.
- For more info: Google’s Advertising Privacy & Terms
- You can opt-out of personalized advertising via Google’s Ad Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads
- You can also opt-out of some third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices/ (for US users) or www.youronlinechoices.eu/ (for EU users). Opting out does not mean you will no longer see ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant.
- Affiliate Networks: Various affiliate programs we partner with may place cookies when you click on an affiliate link. These cookies are essential for tracking referrals and commissions. The specific cookies depend on the affiliate network (e.g., Commission Junction, ShareASale, Amazon Associates, etc.). Clicking an affiliate link signifies interaction with that third-party network, subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.
6. How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary ones).
- Cookie Consent Banner/Tool: When you first visit our Site, you should see a cookie consent banner or tool. This allows you to manage your preferences for non-essential cookies (Performance, Advertising, Affiliate). Your preferences will be saved for future visits.
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You can set your browser to block cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Find out how to manage cookies on popular browsers:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Apple Safari
- Microsoft Edge

Please note that if you block all cookies (including essential cookies), you may not be able to access all or parts of our Site, and some functionality may be lost.
- Third-Party Opt-Outs: As mentioned above, you can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking and Google’s personalized advertising using the links provided in Section 5.
