Cookies Policy

Welcome to Departurefeed—where the only trails we encourage you to follow are the ones leading to breathtaking destinations. But since we’re here to talk about digital cookies rather than the ones served with tea, let’s break down how and why we use them. Grab your favorite travel mug, and let’s dive in.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember details about your visit, such as your preferences and activity, ensuring a smoother browsing experience. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs guiding you back to where you left off. At Departurefeed, our cookies help optimize our content so you can focus on planning your next adventure.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We’re selective about the cookies we use—consider us the seasoned travelers of the digital cookie jar. Here’s what you’ll find:

Essential Cookies

Analytics & Performance Cookies

  • What They Do: Track anonymous data about how you interact with our site (e.g., which articles you read and how long you stay).

  • Why We Need Them: To fine-tune our content and highlight the stories that inspire you the most—like a travel guide curating the perfect itinerary.

Functionality Cookies

  • What They Do: Remember your preferences, like language settings or dismissing pop-ups so they don’t keep reappearing.

Third-Party Cookies

  • Enhance Your Experience: From remembering your preferences to recommending relevant travel guides, cookies keep everything seamless.

  • Analyze Site Performance: Understanding which destinations (or articles) are the crowd favorites helps us refine our content.

  • Ensure Security & Reliability: Some cookies detect suspicious activity and keep your interactions safe.

4. Managing or Disabling Cookies

Your privacy matters, and you have control over your cookie settings. Here’s how:

  • Browser Settings: Most browsers let you review, delete, or block cookies. Think of it as customizing your travel itinerary—you choose what works best for you.

  • Opt-Out Tools: Some analytics providers, like Google Analytics, offer browser add-ons to limit tracking.

  • Pros & Cons: Disabling cookies may impact certain site functions, like personalized recommendations, but ultimately, the choice is yours.

5. Third-Party Content & Links

When we share links to booking platforms, travel blogs, or that must-visit street food stall’s Instagram, third parties may also use cookies. Departurefeed doesn’t control their data practices, so check their privacy policies if you’re curious.

6. Updates to This Policy

Like the ever-changing world of travel, our Cookies Policy may evolve. If we make significant updates, we’ll let you know—think of it like a flight change notification. By continuing to use Departurefeed after updates, you agree to the revised policy.
