Addicted to Travel

Cookie Policy

This policy explains how Addicted to Travel uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies on addictedto.travel and within Addicted to Travel. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Local storage, session storage, and similar technologies can also store identifiers, settings, or other information on your device.

Some technologies are set by Addicted to Travel. Others may be provided through services we use to operate features such as authentication, security, maps, place information, or analytics.

Why we use these technologies

Necessary and security technologies

We use technologies that are necessary to provide requested features, maintain security, prevent abuse, remember privacy choices, and keep the website functioning. These technologies may be needed to route traffic, protect forms, maintain a secure session, or recognize that a request belongs to the same browser.

Guest continuity

When you create a trip as a guest, we use a guest session or similar browser technology so the trip can function before you register and, where available, be transferred to an account. If you clear or block this storage, sign out, change browsers or devices, or the session ends, you may lose access to the guest trip.

Authentication and account sessions

When you sign in, we use authentication and session technologies to recognize your account, keep you signed in where appropriate, and protect account access. Disabling these technologies may prevent you from signing in or using account features.

Preferences

We may use browser storage to remember choices such as interface settings or other preferences so you do not need to select them again each time you use the service.

Analytics and technical telemetry

We may use limited analytics and technical telemetry to understand how Addicted to Travel is used, measure feature performance, diagnose errors, maintain reliability, and improve the product. Where applicable law requires permission before using non-essential analytics technologies, we ask for that permission before activating them. You can change an available consent choice through the cookie settings control.

We do not use cookies or similar technologies for targeted advertising.

First-party and third-party technologies

First-party technologies are set for the Addicted to Travel website. Third-party technologies are provided through another service integrated with the website.

Third-party services may process information according to their own privacy policies. Our Privacy Policy explains the categories of service providers that may receive information when helping us operate Addicted to Travel.

How to manage cookies and browser storage

You can use your browser settings to view, delete, or block cookies and site storage. Browser controls vary, so consult your browser’s help information for instructions.

Where Addicted to Travel provides a cookie settings control, you can use it to accept, reject, or change choices for optional technologies.

Blocking or deleting necessary technologies may:

  • sign you out;
  • prevent account or security features from working;
  • reset your preferences;
  • interrupt guest-to-account handover; or
  • make a guest trip unavailable or impossible to recover.

Deleting browser storage does not necessarily delete information stored by Addicted to Travel. To request deletion of personal information, follow the process described in our Privacy Policy.

How long these technologies remain

Some technologies last only for the current browser session. Others remain for longer so they can remember a setting, maintain an account session, protect the service, or support another purpose described in this policy.

The duration depends on the technology, its purpose, and your browser settings. You can remove stored technologies through your browser or the controls available on the website.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our use of technology, Addicted to Travel, or legal requirements change. We will post the updated policy on this page.
