Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-12
This page explains how Visavu uses cookies and similar technologies. Our approach is to use as few cookies as possible and rely on cookie-free analytics. As a result, we do not display a cookie banner — there is no advertising or tracking technology to consent to.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies let websites remember preferences and state across pages and visits.
Cookies we set
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the Service to function and do not require your consent under GDPR / PECR.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| admin_token | Set only when an authorised admin enters the admin section with a valid key. Has no effect for regular visitors. | First-party, HttpOnly | 8 hours |
| visavu_currency | Remembers your preferred display currency (e.g. GBP, EUR, USD) for fee conversions across page visits. | First-party | 1 year |
| visavu_locale | Remembers your preferred display language if you have set one explicitly. | First-party | 1 year |
Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics, which is cookie-free. Plausible does not set any cookies and does not use cross-site identifiers, fingerprinting, or local storage to track users. It counts page views via short-lived hashed IPs that are discarded after the request.
Advertising / third-party tracking
We do not set advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or third-party analytics trackers. There is no Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or equivalent.
Third-party cookies set by external content
Some embedded or linked content may set its own cookies once you interact with it. These are set by the third party directly under their own privacy policy, not by us.
- Google Translate: only if you click the language toggle in the page hero. Google may set its own cookies subject to Google's cookie policy.
- Pexels and jsDelivr (CDNs): image requests do not set browser cookies but may include standard CDN-edge logging.
- Affiliate destinations: clearly-labelled travel-adjacent partners (travel insurance, eSIMs, hotel bookings) may set their own cookies once you click through to their site. These cookies are set on the partner's domain and governed by their privacy policy.
How to control or remove cookies
You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to clear all cookies, clear cookies for specific sites, or block third-party cookies entirely. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will not break browsing on the public Service — the only impact is that your currency / language preference may not persist across visits.
Changes to this policy
If we change which cookies we use, this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date above will reflect the revision.
