This Cookies Policy explains how PDI SmartGuide uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website and use our travel services.
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
We use cookies for several reasons:
Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our platform and to use some of its features, such as the flight and hotel search engine.
Affiliate & Performance Cookies: These cookies allow our partners (like Travelpayouts, WayAway, or Tiqets) to know that you came from PDI SmartGuide. This is essential for our affiliate model, allowing us to earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site, which helps us improve the user experience and our AI recommendations.
Some cookies are placed by third parties. These include:
Travelpayouts Drive: Used for smart monetization and displaying relevant travel offers.
Google Services: For site performance and traffic analysis.
Ad Networks: To show you personalized travel deals based on your browsing history.
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.
Cookie Banner: You can manage your preferences through the cookie consent banner that appears on our site.
Our Progressive Web App (PWA) may use "Local Storage" and "Service Workers" (similar to cookies) to store data on your device so the app can work offline and load faster via Firebase.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other technologies, please email us at: contact@pdismartguide.com.
