Cookie Statement

Effective Date: April 7, 2025

At VacationFinder.com, we’re committed to enhancing your online experience while respecting your privacy choices. This policy explains how we use cookies and other tracking technologies—including digital fingerprinting—to support website functionality, personalize your visit, analyze engagement, and deliver marketing that’s meaningful and relevant to you.


How We Track and Remember You

When you use our website or mobile applications, we (and our trusted service providers) automatically collect and store information using various tools:

  • Cookies – Small text files stored on your browser or device, helping remember preferences or identify sessions.

  • Local Storage – Browser-based mechanisms (like HTML5) used to store data for faster and more personalized site functionality.

  • Web Beacons & Tracking Pixels – Transparent images embedded in webpages or emails to detect visits, ad impressions, or email opens.

  • Tags & Scripts – Pieces of code that gather data or facilitate third-party content such as ads and analytics tools.

  • Software Development Kits (SDKs) – Tools embedded in our mobile apps to monitor how features are used and deliver push notifications or promotions.

  • Proximity Beacons – Used in certain mobile scenarios to notify you of relevant promotions if you’re nearby and have given permission.

Collectively, we refer to all of these as “tracking technologies.”


Use of Digital Fingerprinting & Behavioral Tracking

In addition to traditional cookies, we use digital fingerprinting techniques that gather combinations of data points—such as your browser version, device type, screen resolution, installed fonts, language settings, IP address, and behavior patterns—to help us recognize returning visitors more reliably and securely.

These identifiers may be used to:

  • Verify and protect your account

  • Prevent fraud or suspicious behavior

  • Track engagement across sessions and devices

  • Deliver more consistent and personalized content

We combine this information with behavioral data (e.g., page visits, clicks, scroll activity, time spent, abandoned searches) to build user profiles that allow us to offer tailored messaging, improve website performance, and support marketing campaigns through our third-party partners.
