1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
2. Why do we use cookies?
We use first and third-party cookies. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Others, used only with your consent, allow us to show relevant ads and track purchases made through affiliate links. With your consent, we also use Google Analytics to understand how the website is used.
3. Types of cookies we use
- Strictly Necessary: These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features.
- Preferences: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made in the past, such as your cookie preferences.
- Statistics: These cookies, set by Google Analytics, help us understand how the website is used – for example, which pages are visited and where visitors come from. The information is only analysed in aggregate and we do not use it to identify you. They are activated only if you accept the “Statistics” category in the cookie banner.
- Marketing: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites to display ads that are relevant and engaging, primarily through Google AdSense. Our affiliate partners (such as 2Performant and its partner stores, Amazon Associates, Booking.com, GetYourGuide, Viator) may also set cookies to track purchases made through affiliate links.
The data you enter into calculators and tests, and the results you get, are not saved on your device and are not sent to us or to Google Analytics.
4. How can you control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set your cookie preferences through our Cookie Banner (powered by Complianz) when you first visit the site, and change them at any time through the same banner.
