Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how StoryTravel ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our platform. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Website owners widely use cookies to make their websites work securely and efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized travel experiences.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize our cookies into three main types to ensure transparency regarding your data:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for our platform to function. They include authentication cookies (keeping you securely logged in), security tokens to prevent fraud, and session state identifiers. Our platform cannot function properly without these.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with StoryTravel by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve our interface and identify which travel stories are most popular.
- Targeting & Advertising Cookies: These are set by our advertising partners (like Google AdSense) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store personal information directly but are based on uniquely identifying your browser.
3. Third-Party Partners
In some cases, we use cookies provided by trusted third parties. You may encounter the following third-party integrations on StoryTravel:
- Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to serve ads. Google uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to StoryTravel or other websites.
- Opting Out: You may opt out of Google's personalized advertising at any time by visiting the Google Ads Settings page.
- Google Analytics: We utilize Google Analytics to monitor platform traffic and user journeys, helping us optimize the content you see.
4. How to Control Your Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas (such as maintaining a secure login session) will be severely restricted.
To learn how to manage cookies on popular browsers, please visit their respective help centers (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge).
