This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why Only One Carry On uses them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. Think of cookies like breadcrumbs—but digital ones that help you (and me) navigate better.
Cookies are tiny text files that websites store on your device when you visit. They help me remember your preferences, understand how you use my blog, and show you relevant content.
Fun fact: Cookies got their name from “magic cookies” in computing—packets of data passed between programs. Not because they’re delicious (though that would be a better reason).
I’ve categorized cookies so you can choose which ones you’re comfortable with. You can manage your preferences using the cookie banner or the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.
Here’s every cookie you might encounter on Only One Carry On:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookieyes-consent |
Remembers your cookie choices | Necessary | 1 year |
_ga |
Google Analytics – distinguishes users | Analytics | 2 years |
_gid |
Google Analytics – distinguishes users | Analytics | 24 hours |
Note: This list will be automatically updated as I add or remove services. Check back if you’re curious about what’s changed.
Click “Cookie Settings” in the footer of any page. You can change your preferences anytime—turn cookies on, turn them off, whatever makes you comfortable.
Want to be really specific? You can allow analytics but block marketing cookies. You can enable social sharing but disable ads. It’s all up to you!
You can also control cookies directly in your browser settings:
⚠️ Important: Blocking all cookies might make some website features stop working properly (like keeping you logged in or remembering your preferences).
The companies I work with have their own cookie policies. Here’s where to read more:
Some browsers have “Do Not Track” settings. My website doesn’t currently respond to these signals because there’s no industry standard for how to handle them.
However, you can always use the cookie settings banner to opt out of tracking. That’s even better than “Do Not Track” because it gives you granular control over different types of cookies!
I’ll update this Cookie Policy when I add new tools or services. Check the “Last Updated” date at the top to see if anything’s changed.

I’m happy to explain how any of this works—I speak both plain English and tech jargon (a useful skill when traveling in both Orlando and Silicon Valley).
