This Cookie Policy explains how Travel Route Blog (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on travelrouteblog.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we use personal data.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owners about how visitors use the site. Similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixels and local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy as well.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly, such as remembering your cookie consent choices or enabling core site features. The site cannot function properly without them, and they do not require your consent under most privacy laws.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site, including which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and which destinations and topics generate the most interest. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can learn more about how Google uses this data at Google’s Partner Sites policy.
Advertising Cookies
We use Google AdSense to display advertising on this site. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, to measure ad performance, and to limit how many times you see the same ad. These cookies may be set by Google or by third-party ad networks participating in the Google Ads network.
Some of the cookies used for advertising purposes are:
- Google/DoubleClick cookies — used to serve interest-based advertising and measure ad effectiveness
- Third-party ad network cookies — set by other advertisers participating in Google’s ad exchange
You can view and manage your ad personalisation settings directly through Google at Google Ads Settings, or opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies at the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page.
Third-Party Cookies
Because we display advertising and use analytics tools, some cookies on this site are set by third parties rather than by us directly. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we do not control. The main third parties that may set cookies through this site include:
- Google (Analytics and AdSense)
- Third-party advertisers serving ads through the Google Ads network
Your Consent and Choices
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we ask for your consent to non-essential cookies (including analytics and advertising cookies) before they are set, through a cookie consent banner shown on your first visit. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by revisiting the cookie settings in that banner, or by adjusting the cookie controls in your browser.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking cookies entirely, deleting existing cookies, or being notified before a cookie is set. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and most other websites.
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Some cookies are session cookies, which are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period (typically between 30 days and 2 years) or until you delete them manually.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page periodically to stay informed.
