- INTRODUCTION
This Cookie Policy explains how FlyAquet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit flyaquet.com and its subdomains. As a travel metasearch platform that integrates complex third-party tools – including a flight engine, a Visa Checker, and an AI Travel Explorer – we use cookies to ensure technical functionality, remember your preferences, and facilitate our affiliate partnerships.
- WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
- Session Cookies: These are temporary and expire once you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
III. HOW WE USE COOKIES
FlyAquet uses cookies for the following critical functions:
- Essential and Functional Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our travel tools. Without them, the site cannot function properly:
- Search Continuity: To remember your origin (e.g., Ottawa), destination, and travel dates as you move through the search process.
- Language & Currency: To save your preference for display (e.g., English/USD) across different sessions.
- Visa Logic: To temporarily store the nationality and destination selected in the Visa Checker to generate a diagnostic.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how users interact with our content:
- Navigation Flow: Monitoring how users scroll from our “Popular Destinations” to the actual search box.
- AI Training Data: Anonymized tracking of how users interact with the AI Explorer to improve the quality of travel recommendations.
- Affiliate and Third-Party Cookies
As an affiliate-based platform, these cookies are vital to our business model:
- Travelpayouts Tracking: When you click “Search flights” or an offer, a third-party cookie from our partner (Travelpayouts or its providers) is placed on your device. This allows the booking site to recognize that you came from FlyAquet so we can receive a commission.
- External Content: Cookies may be set by third parties providing the underlying data for our flight results or visa information.
- SPECIFIC COOKIES USED BY OUR TOOLS
- Flight Meta-Search: Placed by the search script (main.js from tpscr.com) to manage live data streams.
- AI Assistant: Used to maintain the context of your conversation with the AI Explorer during a single session.
- Visa Portal: Used by the Visamundi integration to manage the application process once you leave our informational page.
- CONSENT AND CONTROL
Upon your first visit, you may see a cookie consent banner. You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
- Browser Settings: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject essential cookies, you may still use our website, but your access to some functionality (like live flight prices) will be restricted.
- Do Not Track (DNT): Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature. Our system currently responds to these signals in accordance with industry standards.
- DATA PRIVACY AND SECURITY
Cookies used by FlyAquet do not store sensitive personal information such as credit card numbers or physical addresses. All financial transactions are handled on the secured platforms of our partners, which use their own specialized security cookies.
VII. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology (such as updates to our AI algorithms) or for legal reasons. The “Effective Date” at the top will always indicate the latest version.
