Introduction

Verdecay ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to the website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • To ensure our website functions correctly
  • To analyze how visitors use our website so we can improve it
  • To remember your preferences and settings
  • To deliver relevant advertising content
  • To track affiliate referrals when you click links to our travel partners

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and mobile menu functionality. The website cannot function correctly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve the structure, content, and performance of our site. Analytics cookies may be provided by third-party services such as Google Analytics.

  • Google Analytics: Tracks page views, session duration, traffic sources, and user behavior. Google Analytics cookies (such as _ga and _gid) typically expire between 1 day and 2 years. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Advertising cookies are placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

  • Google AdSense: May serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your browsing activity. For more information, see Google's Advertising Policies.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you click on affiliate links on our website (such as links to Expedia, Booking.com, cruise lines, resort websites, or travel insurance providers), cookies may be placed on your device by those third-party partners. These cookies track that you were referred from our website so that we can receive a commission if you make a qualifying purchase or booking. These cookies are set by the affiliate partner, not by us.

  • Expedia: Tracks referrals for hotel, flight, cruise, and vacation package bookings
  • Booking.com: Tracks referrals for accommodation bookings
  • Cruise line partners: Track referrals for cruise bookings
  • Travel insurance providers: Track referrals for insurance policy purchases
  • Resort and hotel websites: Track referrals for direct bookings

Affiliate cookies typically have expiration periods ranging from 24 hours to 30 or more days, depending on the partner. For details on a specific partner's cookie practices, please refer to their privacy policy. For more information about our affiliate relationships, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of web pages.

Geolocation Cookies

Our website uses IP-based geolocation to personalize your experience, such as detecting your nearest airport to provide relevant flight search results to Caribbean and Central American destinations. This data is processed in real time and is not stored on our servers.
