Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, analyze traffic, and — in some cases — serve relevant advertising. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information unless you have provided it to us directly.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

hofalfy uses the following categories of cookies:

Strictly Necessary

Essential for the site to function. These include session management, security tokens, and consent preferences. You cannot opt out of these — they are required for basic operation.

Analytics

Help us understand how visitors interact with hofalfy — which guides are read, how long people stay, and where they come from. We use Google Analytics (anonymized IP). No personally identifiable data is stored.

Marketing

Used to deliver relevant advertisements and track campaign performance. These are set only with your explicit consent and may be placed by third-party ad networks (e.g. Google Ads).

3. Why We Use Cookies

  • To keep hofalfy secure and functional across visits.
  • To measure which eSIM guides and articles are most useful to readers.
  • To improve site performance, layout, and content relevance.
  • To serve ads that are relevant to your travel and eSIM interests (with consent only).

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on hofalfy are set by third-party services we integrate. These parties have their own privacy policies and may use cookies independently:

  • Google Analytics — website traffic analysis (analytics.google.com/policies/privacy)
  • Google Ads / DoubleClick — advertising measurement (policies.google.com/privacy)

We do not control third-party cookies. Please review the relevant provider policies for full details.

5. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You have full control over non-essential cookies. Options include:

  • Browser settings: All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via Settings → Privacy or similar.
  • Consent banner: When you first visit hofalfy, you can accept or decline analytics and marketing cookies. You can update your choice at any time by clearing site data and revisiting.
  • Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
  • Ad personalization: Visit Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) to manage ad preferences.

Note: disabling strictly necessary cookies may break core site functionality.

6. Your Consent

By continuing to use hofalfy after being shown our cookie banner, you consent to the use of analytics and marketing cookies as described. Strictly necessary cookies are placed automatically as they are required for the site to work. You may withdraw consent at any time by managing your browser settings or clearing cookies for this site.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of hofalfy after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
