TravellersUpdate Cookie Policy explains how TravellersUpdate.com (“TravellersUpdate,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
TravellersUpdate publishes travel news, visa updates, immigration information, scholarship opportunities, study-abroad guidance and travel-related articles. Depending on the features and services enabled on our website, cookies and similar technologies may be used to support website functionality, understand website usage, remember preferences or deliver advertising.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your device when you visit it. They can help a website remember certain information, maintain functionality and understand how visitors interact with its pages.
Other technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage and scripts, may perform similar functions. In this policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies and similar technologies.”
Some cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
2. Why We May Use Cookies
Depending on the technologies enabled on TravellersUpdate Cookie Policy, cookies and similar technologies may be used for the following purposes.
Essential and Functional Cookies
These technologies may be necessary to support website operation, security, navigation or features you request. They may help the website function correctly and remember certain settings.
Where a cookie is strictly necessary for a service you request or for the operation of the website, it may be treated differently from optional tracking cookies under applicable law.
Preferences Cookies
These cookies may remember choices such as language, display preferences or other settings, where those features are available.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
If analytics tools are enabled, these technologies may help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages receive visits, how visitors navigate between articles and whether technical issues occur.
This information may be used to improve website performance, content organisation and the overall reading experience. Analytics may involve information such as page views, referral sources, browser type and approximate usage patterns.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
If advertising or marketing services are enabled, these technologies may be used to display advertisements, measure advertising performance, limit repeated advertisements or support advertising personalisation.
Third-party advertising providers may use their own technologies in accordance with their respective policies and the applicable consent requirements.
Embedded Content and Third-Party Features
Some pages may include content or features provided by third parties, such as embedded videos, maps, social media posts or external tools.
Those services may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is loaded or interacted with. Their practices are governed by their own policies and settings.
We do not assume that every category described above is active on our website. Actual use depends on the services and features currently installed and enabled.
3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by the website you visit or by services operating on its behalf.
Third-party cookies may be set by external service providers whose tools or content appear on, or are integrated with, the website.
Depending on our website configuration, third parties may include analytics providers, advertising networks, embedded-content providers or other technical services.
These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies. We encourage visitors to review those policies when using third-party services.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies may be classified by how long they remain on your device:
- Session cookies: Generally expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: Remain on your device until their expiry date or until they are deleted.
The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the service that sets it. We do not claim a specific cookie duration for every service unless that information has been verified.
5. Your Cookie Choices and Consent
Where required TravellersUpdate Cookie Policy by applicable law, we will seek consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies. The specific requirements may depend on your location, the type of technology and how it is used.
Where a cookie consent tool is available, you may be able to accept, reject or customise optional cookie categories. Where applicable, you should also be able to revisit your choices and withdraw consent.
Essential technologies may remain active where legally permitted and necessary for the website or a service you request.
If the website does not currently display a cookie preference tool, this policy alone does not provide a technical mechanism for selecting or withdrawing consent. Appropriate consent and preference controls should be implemented where required.
6. How to Manage or Delete Cookies
You can generally manage or delete cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies or restrict future cookie storage.
You may also be able to configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set.
Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect website functionality, saved preferences or embedded features. Browser-level controls may not provide the same level of choice as a dedicated consent management tool.
If available, use the cookie preference settings on our website to manage optional categories more directly.
7. Analytics and Website Improvement
If analytics services are used, information about website usage may help us understand which travel guides and articles are useful to readers and identify opportunities to improve the website.
Analytics technologies and the information they collect depend on the tools configured on the website. We will update this policy if our relevant practices change.
8. Advertising and Affiliate Services
TravellersUpdate may display advertising or use affiliate links where applicable. If advertising services use cookies or similar technologies, they may help measure advertisements, manage frequency or provide personalised advertising where permitted.
The use of advertising cookies depends on the advertising services enabled and the consent requirements that apply.
An affiliate link does not necessarily use a cookie, and not every link or article involves an affiliate relationship. Where relevant, see our TravellersUpdate Cookie Policy Disclaimer for information about advertising and affiliate arrangements.
9. Personal Information and Privacy
Some cookies and similar technologies may collect or be associated with information that can identify, distinguish or relate to a visitor or device.
How such information is handled depends on the purpose of the technology, the service involved and the applicable privacy requirements.
For further information about the personal information we may collect, how it may be used, and how to contact us about privacy matters, please read our Privacy Policy.
10. International Visitors
TravellersUpdate may be accessed by visitors from different countries. Cookie and online tracking requirements can differ by jurisdiction.
Where applicable, we aim to handle cookies and similar technologies in accordance with the legal requirements relevant to our website and visitors.
The availability of cookie settings and the way consent is requested may vary according to applicable requirements and the tools implemented on the website.
11. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website features, technology providers, advertising arrangements or legal requirements change.
When we make changes, we may revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. The revised policy will apply from its publication, subject to applicable law.
We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.
