1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to the website owners. Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, font size, and other settings.
2. How We Use Cookies
VoyagerCheck uses a small number of cookies for the following purposes:
- To remember your cookie consent preferences so we don't ask you repeatedly
- To understand how visitors interact with the site through usage analytics
- To ensure the website functions correctly and securely
- To improve website performance and loading times through caching
VoyagerCheck does not run Google AdSense or any programmatic display advertising, so we do not set advertising or ad-personalisation cookies of our own. Some affiliate partners may set their own cookies once you click through to their site — those are governed by that partner's own policies.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are required for the basic functionality of VoyagerCheck. The consent preference below is stored in local storage rather than an HTTP cookie. Security providers may use their own storage as described in their policies.
- cookie-consent: Stores your preference in local storage until you clear or change it
- cookie-consent-date: Records your choice date in local storage until cleared
Analytics Cookies
With your analytics consent, we also count clicks on public links, including affiliate referrals, in our own backend without setting a tracking cookie or a persistent visitor ID. These click counts respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use VoyagerCheck. These cookies collect information about your visit to help us understand use of the site, helping us improve the website. They are only set if you accept cookies.
- _ga: Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated ID — Duration: 2 years
- _ga_*: Used by Google Analytics to persist session state — Duration: 2 years
- _gid: Distinguishes unique users — Duration: 24 hours
- _gat: Used to throttle request rate — Duration: 1 minute
Affiliate Partner Cookies (Third-Party)
When you click through an affiliate link on VoyagerCheck to a partner site (e.g. Cover-More, Airalo, Wise, Booking.com), that partner may set its own cookies to attribute the referral for commission purposes. These cookies are set on the partner's domain, not ours, and are governed by that partner's privacy and cookie policies. VoyagerCheck does not receive any personal information about your purchase — only aggregated commission reporting.
4. Third-Party Services
In addition to our own cookies, the following third-party services may place cookies on your device:
- Google Analytics (Privacy Policy) — Web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic
- Cloudflare Turnstile (Privacy Policy) — CAPTCHA replacement used on our Contact and Advertise forms to prevent spam
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
- Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit VoyagerCheck, you can choose to accept analytics or use only essential storage
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies, though this may affect website functionality
- Google Ad Settings: Visit Google Ad Settings to manage ad personalisation
- Opt-Out Tools: Use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics data collection
- Clear site data: Your consent choice is in local storage. Clearing this site’s data, including local storage, resets the choice.

6. Cookie Retention Periods
Cookies have different retention periods. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The specific duration for each cookie is listed in Section 3 above. Actual third-party cookie lifetimes can vary with provider settings; your browser can display and delete stored cookies.
7. Privacy choices and enquiries
Depending on your location, privacy rights may apply to the information processed about you. You can change the analytics choice above and contact us with an access or deletion enquiry. This policy describes the site’s settings; it is not an independent certification of legal compliance. See the Privacy Policy.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
