Whether a visitor accepted, declined, or customized cookie preferences.
The visitor’s selected cookie categories.
The date and time of a consent action.
A session identifier.
A masked IP address and country information.
SureCookie’s consent records may be stored in our WordPress database. Its country-detection and scanning features may also involve processing through external technical services, as described in the Cookies and Consent Management section below.
2.5 Analytics and Advertising Information
At the time of this policy, Travelyra is not treating Google Analytics or third-party advertising networks as active services.
If we introduce analytics, advertising, heatmaps, tracking pixels, or similar technologies in the future, those services may collect additional information about website visits, interactions, devices, referral sources, or advertising activity.
We will update this policy and configure applicable consent controls as required when our data practices change.

We aim to collect and use only information that is reasonably appropriate for these purposes.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. Other technologies, including scripts and similar identifiers, may also store information or access information on your device.
Travelyra uses WordPress and website plugins that may rely on cookies or similar technologies for different purposes.
Depending on the services and configuration in use, these technologies may be categorized as follows.
Strictly necessary cookies: These support essential website functions, security, or the operation of a feature you request.
Functional cookies: These remember preferences or support optional website features.
Analytics cookies: If analytics tools are introduced, these may help measure website traffic and visitor interactions.
Marketing or advertising cookies: If advertising or marketing services are introduced, these may be used to measure advertising performance, support targeting, or recognize activity across websites.
The actual cookies present on Travelyra depend on the website configuration and the third-party services in use. Please consult our Cookie Policy for the latest available information about identified cookies, their purposes, and their durations.
4.1 SureCookie Consent Management
We use SureCookie to help display our cookie banner, manage cookie preferences, and support the recording of consent choices.
Depending on the configuration, SureCookie can also scan selected website pages for cookies and third-party resources and block configured non-essential scripts or embedded content until the visitor has provided the relevant consent.
SureCookie’s technical features do not automatically guarantee legal compliance. Their effectiveness depends on how the plugin is configured and whether other website scripts and services are properly managed.
When cookie consent is requested, you may be able to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose individual categories, depending on the options displayed.
4.2 SureCookie’s Supporting Technical Services
Some SureCookie features involve external services operated for cookie scanning, site verification, or country-level region detection.
When the relevant features are used, information processed by these services may include selected page URLs, website verification information, and technical information needed to provide the requested feature. Visitor IP addresses may be processed for country detection, with masked IP information recorded in local consent logs.
Cookie-scan results, plugin settings, and consent records may be stored in our WordPress database. The processing that actually occurs depends on which SureCookie features are enabled and used.
Further information about the plugin’s practices is available in the SureCookie Privacy Policy at https://surecookie.com/privacy-policy/.
4.3 Managing Your Cookie Choices
You can manage your preferences using the cookie controls available on Travelyra, where provided. You can also delete or restrict cookies through your browser settings.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect certain website functions.
Where applicable law requires consent, we will seek the appropriate consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies. You should be able to revisit your choices where the website provides a cookie-preferences control.
For additional details, see our Cookie Policy:
5. Google Analytics and Website Statistics
Travelyra may introduce an analytics service in the future to understand how visitors interact with our content.
If Google Analytics or another analytics service is enabled, it may collect technical and usage information such as pages viewed, approximate location, browser and device details, referral sources, and interactions with website content.
The information collected, the cookies used, and the available controls will depend on the specific service and its configuration.
Google’s privacy information is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
This section will be revised when an analytics service is activated or our analytics practices otherwise change.
6. Advertising and Third-Party Advertising Networks
Travelyra does not currently identify a third-party advertising network as an active service.
If we introduce Google AdSense or another advertising provider, that provider may use cookies, scripts, device identifiers, IP addresses, or similar technologies to display advertisements, measure performance, prevent fraud, or personalize advertisements where permitted.
Depending on the provider and settings, advertising technologies may recognize a visitor’s activity on this or other websites.
We will update this policy and provide applicable disclosures and choices before or when these services are introduced, as required by law.
Information about Google’s advertising technologies is available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
7. Affiliate Links and Travel Recommendations
Travelyra may include links to third-party travel services, accommodation providers, booking platforms, attractions, products, and other recommended resources.
Where an affiliate link is used, we may receive a commission if you make a qualifying booking or purchase through that link. A qualifying commission generally does not increase the price you pay.
Affiliate links may use referral identifiers, cookies, or similar tracking technologies to help the relevant partner attribute a booking or purchase to Travelyra.
Depending on the affiliate program and the link you follow, technical information or referral information may be shared with the relevant partner.
If you visit an external website or make a booking, that third party’s privacy policy and terms will govern its handling of information you provide directly to it.
We do not control the independent privacy practices of external booking platforms and other third-party services.
For details about any financial relationships associated with our recommendations, please consult our Affiliate Disclosure page.
8. How We Share Information
We do not operate Travelyra as a business that sells personal information in exchange for money. Nevertheless, information may be processed or disclosed in the following circumstances, depending on the services in use and applicable law.
Website and technical service providers: Our hosting provider, WordPress-related services, security tools, form plugins, and technical service providers may process information needed to operate and protect the website.
Cookie consent and scanning services: SureCookie and its supporting services may process the technical information described in Section 4 when their relevant features are used.
Analytics and advertising providers: These providers may receive information if we activate their services in the future.
Affiliate partners: Travel-related partners may receive referral information when you follow applicable affiliate links.
Legal and safety requirements: We may disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, investigate suspected fraud, or maintain website security.
Business transactions: Information may be transferred as part of a sale, restructuring, or transfer of the website or its operations, subject to applicable legal requirements.
We aim to limit these disclosures to the purposes for which they are reasonably necessary.
Some privacy laws define the terms “sale” and “sharing” more broadly than an ordinary exchange of information for money. If our actual practices constitute a regulated sale or sharing activity under an applicable law, we will provide the notices and choices required for that activity.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Retention depends on the nature of the information and why it was collected.
For example:
Contact messages may be retained while we handle an inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward.
Technical and security records may be retained for the period needed to investigate issues, protect the website, and maintain appropriate records.
Cookie consent records may be retained according to the retention settings configured in SureCookie and as needed to document consent choices.
Form submissions may remain in our email account or website database until they are deleted or no longer needed for a legitimate purpose.
When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we will take appropriate steps to delete it or otherwise dispose of it, subject to legal, security, and technical considerations.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
These measures may include website updates, access controls, security tools, and appropriate handling of information stored through our website services.
However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot promise absolute security.
You should exercise care when submitting personal information online and avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through our contact forms.
11. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, the nature of our processing, and whether a particular privacy law applies to Travelyra, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.
These rights may include:
Access: Request information about the personal information we hold about you.
Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
Deletion: Request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable exceptions.
Restriction or objection: Object to or request restrictions on certain processing where the law provides this right.
Consent withdrawal: Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Withdrawal does not invalidate processing carried out before withdrawal.
Data portability: Request a copy of certain information in a portable format where applicable.
Advertising and data-sharing choices: Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing activities where these rights apply.
Complaints: Lodge a complaint with the relevant privacy regulator where the law provides this right.
To make a request, contact us using the details in Section 17. Please explain your request clearly enough for us to understand it.
We may request reasonable information to verify your identity or authority before responding. We will respond within the time required by applicable law and explain where a legal exception prevents us from fulfilling a request.
12. European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and GDPR Rights
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and related privacy laws may apply to certain processing activities depending on our circumstances, the individuals concerned, and the services or monitoring involved.
Where these laws apply, individuals may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive certain personal information, object to specific processing, withdraw consent, and complain to a competent supervisory authority.
Where required, processing will be based on an appropriate legal basis, such as consent, compliance with a legal obligation, the provision of a requested service, or legitimate interests that do not override the individual’s applicable rights.
For non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we will seek consent where required by the applicable rules.
The applicability of these laws depends on the relevant circumstances; the fact that someone can visit a website from Europe does not, by itself, mean that every GDPR obligation automatically applies to the website operator.
13. United States State Privacy Laws, Including California
Certain US state privacy laws provide rights concerning the collection and use of personal information. Whether a particular law applies to Travelyra depends on its legal scope, including the operator’s activities, applicable statutory thresholds, and any relevant exemptions.
Where a law applies, residents may have rights such as requesting access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information and opting out of certain sales, disclosures, or targeted advertising.
California’s privacy laws may provide additional rights to eligible California residents, including rights concerning the sale or sharing of personal information and the use of certain sensitive personal information. These obligations apply to covered businesses and relevant processing activities, rather than automatically to every website that receives a visit from California.
We will handle eligible privacy requests and provide applicable notices and opt-out choices as required by the law that governs the relevant activity.
To submit a request, use the contact information in Section 17.
14. International Visitors and Data Transfers
Travelyra primarily publishes information about destinations in the United States but can be accessed internationally.
Depending on our hosting arrangements, website services, form tools, consent-management features, and any future third-party integrations, information may be processed in countries other than the country in which you live.
Privacy protections may differ between countries. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international data transfers, we will take appropriate steps to meet those requirements.
15. Children’s Privacy
Travelyra is a general travel information website and is not specifically directed toward children under 13.
We do not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children under 13 through our website. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate steps.
Where applicable, we will comply with the relevant children’s privacy laws.
16. Third-Party Websites and External Services
Our travel articles may link to external websites, including accommodation providers, airlines, booking services, attractions, tourism resources, and other travel-related businesses.
These external websites operate independently and may have their own privacy policies, cookie practices, terms, and security measures.
Once you leave Travelyra, we do not control how those external websites collect or use your information. We encourage you to read the relevant privacy policy before submitting information or completing a booking.
The inclusion of a link does not mean that Travelyra controls the privacy practices of the linked website.
