Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies — such as web beacons, local storage, and SDKs — work in comparable ways.

2. Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. They enable core features such as security, session management, and accessibility.

Functional cookies

These allow the Service to remember your choices — such as your saved destinations or preferred currency — to provide a more personalised experience.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the Service so we can improve it. They collect aggregated, anonymous information about pages visited, features used, and errors encountered.

Marketing cookies

These may be used to deliver relevant travel content and measure the effectiveness of campaigns, where you have consented.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties — such as analytics providers and app stores — to support features and measure usage. These third parties may use cookies under their own privacy policies.

4. Managing your preferences

You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Service. Where non-essential cookies require consent, we will ask for your consent before setting them, and you can withdraw it at any time.

For more on managing cookies in common browsers, see:

• Google Chrome
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge
• Mozilla Firefox

5. Cookies in the mobile app

The Travel Buddy app may use local storage and SDKs to store preferences and collect analytics. You can manage these through your device's privacy and advertising settings, or by contacting us.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as we add or change cookies. We will post the updated version here and revise the "Last updated" date.
