GrepAway Cookie Policy

Effective Date: October 26, 2023

Our Approach to Cookies

Welcome to GrepAway! To make your travel search experience smooth, efficient, and personalized, we use cookies and similar technologies (like pixels and local storage). This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your choices. By using GrepAway, you consent to this use as described here and in our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They act as a memory, allowing the site to recognize your device on future visits.

They're widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. They help remember your preferences (like language or currency), keep you logged in (if applicable), and understand how you use the site. Similar technologies like web beacons or pixels perform related functions.

Why Does GrepAway Use Cookies?

We use cookies for several key reasons:

  • Essential Operations: To run the core search functions, compare travel options, maintain security, and ensure the site works correctly.
  • Preferences & Functionality: To remember your choices (like currency, language, last search) and provide a smoother, more personalized experience.
  • Performance & Analytics: To analyze how users interact with GrepAway (e.g., popular pages, loading times, errors) so we can improve performance and usability. We use tools like Google Analytics for this, typically with anonymized or aggregated data.
  • Relevant Advertising: To show you travel-related ads that might interest you, both on our site and potentially on others (retargeting). This helps support our service and often involves sharing pseudonymous identifiers with ad partners.

Types of Cookies We Use

Cookies can be categorized based on their purpose:

  1. Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for website operation (e.g., searching, security). You cannot opt-out of these as the site won't function without them.
  2. Functionality Cookies: Remember your choices to provide enhanced personalization (e.g., language, currency settings).
  3. Performance Cookies: Collect anonymous data on how the site is used to help us improve it (e.g., Google Analytics).
  4. Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Track browsing activity to deliver relevant ads. Often placed by third-party ad networks.

You can find more specific details about the cookies used (if applicable, often provided via a consent management platform) through our cookie settings tool [Link if you have one] or by inspecting your browser.

Third-Party Cookies

As a travel aggregator, we work with many partners. When you use GrepAway or click through to a travel provider's site (like an airline, hotel, or booking agency), these third parties may also place cookies on your device.

This includes:

  • Travel Providers (Airlines, Hotels, OTAs, Car Rentals)
  • Analytics Providers (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • Advertising Networks and Partners
  • Social Media Platforms (if features are embedded)

These parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. We don't control their cookies. We recommend reviewing their policies for more information.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several ways to control cookies:

  • GrepAway Cookie Settings [If available]: Look for a "Cookie Settings" or "Manage Consent" link, often in the footer, to adjust your preferences for non-essential cookies directly on our site. [Requires separate implementation]
  • Browser Controls: All major browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies via their settings menu. Be aware that blocking essential cookies might break site functionality.
  • Industry Opt-Outs: For targeted advertising by participating third parties, you can use tools from organizations like:

Remember: Browser settings apply per browser/device. Opting out of ad cookies doesn'tremove ads, just makes them less personalized.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal obligations. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date". We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
