Cookie Policy

A full inventory of what we store on your device and why. No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, no data sold onward.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files a site stores on your device. Some are needed to keep you signed in. Others remember a preference or count a page view. Alongside them we use browser local storage for the same kinds of small settings, and this policy covers both.

What we run

Three categories. Only the first is required.

Essential

Always on

Without these the site cannot keep you signed in or take a payment safely.

  • Session and sign-in state (including Google Sign-In)
  • CSRF and fraud-prevention tokens
  • Two-factor authentication state
  • Razorpay checkout session, set only while you are paying

Analytics

Optional

Aggregate usage, so we can tell which pages earn their place.

  • PostHog - product analytics, pages and feature usage
  • Google Analytics - traffic sources and page views, only when configured

Preferences

Optional

Small conveniences remembered between visits.

  • Light or dark theme
  • Preferred currency
  • Recently viewed destinations
  • Banners you have dismissed

What we never run

  • Third-party advertising cookies
  • Social media tracking pixels
  • Cross-site tracking or device fingerprinting
  • Any cookie that exists to sell your data onward

We earn from Travelmetry Plus and affiliate commission, so there is no advertising business here that would need to follow you around.

Turning things off

Every browser lets you block or clear cookies:

  • Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies
  • Firefox: Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions

Browser-level Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are respected by our analytics provider where the browser sends them.

Blocking essential cookies will break sign-in

You can browse destinations, comparisons and crowd calendars signed out with everything blocked. Saving a trip, paying, or staying signed in needs the essential cookies above.

How long they last

  • Session cookies: gone when you close the browser
  • Sign-in cookies: up to 30 days, or until you sign out
  • Preference and analytics cookies: typically 30 to 365 days

Signing out of all devices from your dashboard invalidates the sign-in cookies everywhere immediately.

Third parties

The services above set their own cookies under their own policies:

What each of them receives, and what we do with it, is set out in our Privacy Policy.
