Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how TripTravelingGuide uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the site. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and gives you the detail on what each type of cookie does and how to switch them off.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. It lets the site remember things between page loads and between visits, such as whether you have seen a notice, or how you reached a page. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses, and on their own they do not identify you by name. Some are set by us and some are set by the third-party services we rely on.

Types of cookies we use

We group the cookies on this site into three kinds:

• Essential cookies. These keep the site working. They handle basic things like page delivery, security, and remembering simple preferences. The site cannot run properly without them, so they are always on.
• Analytics cookies. These help us understand how readers use the site, which guides are popular, and where people run into trouble. We use Google Analytics for this. The data is aggregated so we see patterns rather than individuals.
• Advertising cookies. These support the ads that keep the site free to read. We use Google AdSense, and Google and its partners set cookies to measure and, where allowed, personalize the ads you see.

Google Analytics cookies

Google Analytics sets cookies to measure how the site is used. They record things like which pages you view, how long you stay, and the site that referred you, in a form that helps us improve our guides. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites by installing the official Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Google AdSense cookies

As a Google AdSense publisher, we allow Google and its advertising partners to set cookies on our pages. These include the DoubleClick DART cookie, which Google uses to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can manage or turn off personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com, and opt out of many other vendors at aboutads.info. Opting out means the ads become less tailored, not that they disappear.

Third-party cookies and consent

Some cookies are set by the third parties named above rather than by us, and their own privacy and cookie policies govern them. Where the law requires consent before non-essential cookies are set, we ask for it, and you are free to decline. If you are in a region that requires it, Google may serve non-personalized ads based on your choices.

How to control cookies in your browser

You are always in charge of cookies. Every major browser lets you see the cookies that are stored, delete them, and block new ones. Look in the privacy or security settings of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge for the option to manage cookies. You can block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or clear them whenever you like. Please note that if you block essential cookies, some parts of the site may stop working as expected.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when the tools we use or the rules around advertising change. When we make a meaningful change we will update the date at the top of the page. If you have any question about cookies, email us at triptravelingguide@gmail.com or use our contact page.
