What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and analyze how you interact with the content.
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies on our blog based on their function and purpose:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function properly. Without them, you cannot use basic services like logging into accounts, filling out forms, or adding items to a cart. They do not gather personal data.
Performance and Analytics Cookies: We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to track how visitors move around our site. This helps us understand which travel guides, itineraries, and blog posts are the most popular so we can create better content for you. This data is aggregated and anonymized.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies: To keep our travel guides free to read, we partner with advertising networks (such as Google AdSense or other ad providers). These networks use cookies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests and to limit the number of times you see the same ad.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies: When you click on a link to a hotel, tour, or product recommendation (such as Booking.com, Viator, or Amazon), an affiliate cookie is dropped on your browser. If you make a purchase, these cookies tell the provider that you came from our blog, allowing us to earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Third-Party Embedded Content: Some of our travel guides feature embedded content like YouTube videos, Instagram posts, or interactive Google Maps. These third-party platforms may drop their own cookies to track your interactions with their embedded features.
