4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Travelbeck.com uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — to improve functionality and enable analytics and advertising features. The cookies used on this site fall into four categories:
4.1 Essential Cookies These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page loading, security functions, and session management. They cannot be disabled without impairing site functionality. No personal data is shared with third parties through essential cookies.
4.2 Analytics Cookies We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymized data about how visitors use Travelbeck.com. This data includes page views, average session duration, traffic sources, and device types. Google Analytics does not identify you personally.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
4.3 Advertising Cookies Travelbeck.com participates in the Google AdSense program. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to Travelbeck.com and other websites. These interest-based ads are powered by the DoubleClick cookie and other tracking technologies.
You can manage your Google advertising preferences or opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting: https://adssettings.google.com
You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from participating third-party networks by visiting: https://optout.networkadvertising.org
Please note that opting out of interest-based ads does not remove all advertising from the site — you will still see ads, but they may be less relevant to your interests.
4.4 Preference Cookies These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made — such as your preferred language or region — to provide a more personalized browsing experience. They do not collect information that could identify you personally.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or data handling of any third-party website. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every external site you visit.

- Contact form or email inquiries are retained for up to 12 months and then deleted.
- Newsletter subscriber email addresses are retained until the subscriber unsubscribes.
- Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized; individual session data is retained per Google’s standard data retention settings, which can be adjusted in your Google account.
