Cookies and browser storage
Last updated:
Traveliac itself sets no cookies, but the ads we carry do: Google AdSense sets cookies in your browser. Separately, the site saves up to two things on your device, the country you chose and the places you saved, and neither of those leaves your browser.
Cookies
We set no cookies of our own, but two Google services we use do. Google Analytics sets cookies to count visits and see which guides are read. Google AdSense sets cookies to choose and measure the ads you see, and may read them again on later visits. Both sets are Google's rather than ours: you can review or change what Google uses at My Ad Center, or block them in your browser settings — the site works normally without them.
What we store in your browser
We use your browser's local storage (localStorage) for these items:
- Name
traveliac-country- What it holds
- The country you chose, for example "india"
- Why
- So the site remembers your choice and you don't have to pick again
- Where it lives
- Only in your browser, on your device. It is never sent to our server.
- How long
- Until you clear it
- Name
traveliac-saved- What it holds
- The places you saved with the Save button: each page's address, name, city and photo link
- Why
- So your saved places list works without an account
- Where it lives
- Only in your browser, on your device. It is never sent to our server.
- How long
- Until you remove the places or clear it
These items are strictly functional: they only remember choices you made, and they can't identify you or follow you around the web. That is why Traveliac shows no cookie consent banner: the site sets nothing that needs consent.
How to remove it
Clear the site data for traveliac.com in your browser's settings, or clear all browsing data. In a private or incognito window, it is removed when you close the window. The site keeps working; it just forgets which country you chose and which places you saved.
Maps
Our maps are OpenStreetMap maps whose tiles are fetched and stored by traveliac.com, so showing one sets no cookie and contacts no other company. The "Directions in Google Maps" links open Google only if you follow them, under the Google cookie policy.
Photos and fonts
Our photos come from Wikimedia Commons, but we keep our own copies and serve them from traveliac.com, so no third-party cookie reaches your browser from our pages. Only if a photo is too new to have been stored yet, and our server can't fetch it at that moment, is your browser sent to that photo on Wikimedia Commons, which may set its own cookie under the Wikimedia cookie statement. You can block third-party cookies in your browser without affecting how Traveliac works.
Our fonts are served from traveliac.com itself, so no font service (such as Google Fonts) is contacted.
If this changes
If we ever add cookies or other storage, we will list them here first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before setting them.

Our privacy policy explains what else we collect, which is very little. Questions: editorial@traveliac.com.
