Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size, and other display settings) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re‑entering them whenever you come back or browse from one page to another.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain until they expire or you delete them).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, security, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the site would not work correctly without them.
• Performance / analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous information about page visits, time spent, and any error messages. We use this data to improve our site's performance and user experience.
• Functional cookies: These remember choices you make (such as form pre‑fill or preferred settings) to provide a more personalized experience.

We do not use targeting/advertising cookies, social media tracking cookies, or cross‑site tracking cookies for marketing purposes. We do not share cookie data with airlines, travel brands, or advertisers.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

The table below lists the specific cookies we may place on your device and their purposes:

Note: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage data. Google may set additional cookies as described in Google's own Cookie Policy. We have enabled IP anonymization to protect your privacy.

4. Your Consent & Cookie Control

When you first visit our website, we display a cookie banner asking for your consent to place non‑essential cookies (analytics and functional cookies). Necessary cookies are always active because they are required for the website to work.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:

• Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. However, disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of our website and many others you visit.
• Cookie consent tool: You can click the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer (if available) to change your preferences.
• Google Analytics opt‑out: You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data.

5. Third‑Party Cookies

We use limited third‑party services that may place cookies:

• Google Analytics: Collects anonymized usage statistics to help us improve our website. Google's privacy policy is available here.
• Payment processor (Stripe / similar): If you make a payment for our services, our payment processor may place cookies necessary for fraud prevention and transaction security. These cookies are strictly necessary for payment processing and are not used for tracking.

We do not use Facebook pixels, Twitter ads, or any retargeting cookies. We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for advertising.

6. How Long Do Cookies Remain?

Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire (see durations in the table above) or until you manually delete them through your browser settings. You can delete all cookies stored on your device at any time.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals because we do not engage in cross‑site behavioral tracking. However, you can control cookies via browser settings as described above.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. Any material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
