What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or login status.

Cookies serve many purposes: some are essential for the website to function, while others help us understand how you use our site so we can improve it.

Types of cookies we use

We use the following types of cookies on OffPeakWorld:

Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They allow you to navigate the site and use its features. Without these cookies, some services you’ve asked for cannot be provided.

Examples: session tokens, security cookies, preference settings for accessibility.

Analytics Cookies: We use these to understand how visitors use our website. They collect information about which pages you visit, how long you stay, what you click on, and how you arrived at our site. This data helps us improve our content and user experience.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. The data is aggregated and anonymous, we cannot identify individual users.

Affiliate & Marketing Cookies: When you click on affiliate links (such as hotel bookings, tour providers, or travel insurance), the partner site may set their own cookies to track whether you complete a booking. This is how affiliate commissions are tracked. These cookies help partners measure the effectiveness of their links and pay us fairly.

Preference Cookies: These remember choices you’ve made on our site, such as language preferences, text size, or themes. They enhance your experience by personalizing how the site appears to you.

Advertising Cookies: We may work with ad networks to display relevant content. These cookies track your interactions with ads and help advertisers understand whether you’re interested in their products or services.

Affiliate networks: Cookies from Travelpayouts, Impact, and similar platforms

These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use cookies. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how they use your data.

How long do cookies last?

Cookies have different lifespans:

Session cookies:These are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They help websites function during your visit.

Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period (ranging from days to months or even years). They allow websites to remember your preferences across multiple visits.
