Cookie Policy

Cookie Policy for SiteDestination.com
Last updated: November 18, 2025
Hey, short version first: we use cookies so the site doesn’t break, loads fast, and we can see which countries you guys love most. Nothing super creepy.
What cookies we actually drop

Necessary cookies (you can’t turn these off)
Keep you logged in if we ever add accounts
Remember your cookie preferences (ironic, right?)
Make the flight widget work without reloading the whole page
Names usually start with cf_, __cf, or something boring like that.

Analytics cookies
Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat) - tells us how many people looked at “Top 10 visa-free countries” this month
Sometimes Plausible (no cookies at all, just a lightweight script) when we feel extra privacy-friendly
We keep this data max 26 months, then Google deletes it automatically.

Advertising & affiliate cookies
Google AdSense (for the few ads we show)
Go Travel Un Limited / WayAway / Aviasales cookies - they drop these when you use the big search widget on the homepage so they know if you actually booked something later (that’s how we get paid)
Usually last 30-90 days, sometimes up to a year.

Third-party widgets
Cloudflare (security + speed) - __cfruid, etc.
YouTube or Vimeo if we embed a video in an article
They have their own cookies, we don’t control them.


Can you say no?
Yep! When you first land on the site you get a popup:

“Accept all” - quickest way
“Reject non-essential” - only necessary cookies stay
“Settings” - turn off analytics or advertising separately

You can also change your mind anytime - there’s a little floating button bottom-left on every page that says “Cookies” or a shield icon.
Browser tricks that also work

Open the site in incognito/private mode
Turn on “Do Not Track” in your browser
Block third-party cookies completely (the widget might act a bit slower, but still works)

We don’t do

Sell your cookie data to random companies
Stalk you with ads for the exact hotel you viewed for the next 6 months
Fingerprinting or anything sci-fi

Questions or want everything deleted?
Just write to [email protected] - I’ll clear whatever we have on our side the same day (for Google’s part you can use their Ads Settings or just clear your browser).
That’s literally it. Now back to dreaming about your next trip :)
Safe travels!
