Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies and similar technologies GetStopover uses, why, and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store. They let a site remember things between page loads — like the fact that you’ve already accepted a banner, or that you arrived from a particular referral link.

We also use the term “cookies” loosely to cover similar technologies that serve the same purpose, such as localStorage, browser pixels, and SDK-managed identifiers.

2. How we use cookies

GetStopover itself does not set any first-party tracking or advertising cookies. We use cookies only via the third-party services listed below, and only when those services are enabled.

We do not run our own ad network, we don’t profile users for retargeting, and we don’t share cookie-derived data with advertisers.

3. Categories of cookies

Strictly necessary

Required for the site to load and function. Set by our hosting provider (Vercel) for routing, security, and load-balancing. These cannot be turned off.

Performance / analytics

Help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. Set only if Google Analytics is enabled on the site. Plausible (also analytics) explicitly does not set cookies.

Affiliate tracking

Set when you click outbound links to airline, hotel, or tour partners, so commission can be attributed to GetStopover. Without these we don’t earn the commission that keeps the site free.

Functional

Remember your preferences (e.g. preferred currency or passport selection). Today these are stored in URL parameters or short-lived localStorage, not as cookies.

4. Specific cookies on this site

The exact set of cookies you encounter depends on which third-party integrations are enabled. The table below covers the maximum set.

Cookies set when you visit GetStopover

  • _ga, _ga_*Distinguish unique visitors and aggregate page-view analytics. Only set if Google Analytics is enabled on this site.
  • plausible_*Plausible explicitly does not use cookies. Listed here for transparency only — you will not see this cookie set.
  • sl_*Tracks affiliate-link clicks for commission attribution. Only loaded if Skimlinks is enabled.
  • Vercel functional cookiesRouting, security, and load-balancing cookies set by our hosting provider. Required for the site to work.

5. Third-party cookies

When you click an outbound affiliate link (for example, “Search Flights” or “Browse Hotels”), you leave GetStopover and land on a partner’s site (Travelpayouts/Aviasales, Booking.com, Viator, CJ Affiliate, or an airline). Those partners set their own cookies on their domains, governed by their own cookie and privacy policies.

We have no visibility into or control over partner cookies. Refer to each partner’s policy for the details.

6. How to manage cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

  • Browser settings — every modern browser lets you block, delete, or be prompted before cookies are stored. See Section 7 for direct links.
  • Tracking protection — private/incognito mode and built-in tracking protection (Safari, Firefox, Brave) block most third-party cookies by default.
  • Skip the affiliate redirect — if you don’t want affiliate cookies set, copy the airline’s name and visit their site directly instead of clicking our affiliate link. (We’ll earn nothing, but the choice is yours.)
  • Opt out of Google Analytics — install Google’s official opt-out browser add-on.

Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working.

8. Changes to this policy

If our use of cookies changes — for example, if we enable a new analytics provider — we’ll update this page and the “Last updated” date at the top.
