Blink Travels Cookies Policy

Last updated: 4 January 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how Blink Travels and our partners use cookies and similar technologies. It applies to Blink Travels's apps, websites, software and related services (together, the "Platform"). It also covers your choices to control them. Unless otherwise stated in this Cookies Policy, our Privacy Policy applies to the data we collect through cookies and similar technologies.

How do cookies work?

Cookies are small text files that let websites and apps identify your browser or device. Cookies and similar technologies let websites and apps store or access info on your device. They turn on certain features and distinguish you from other visitors. Most website and app providers use these technologies for various purposes.

These purposes include:

  • Efficient page navigation
  • Web security and usage tracking
  • Remembering user preferences
  • Customizing the user experience, especially in relation to ads

Like many websites and apps, Blink Travels uses cookies and similar technologies, such as software development kits ("SDKs"), pixels, APIs, mobile ad IDs, tags and local storage. We call them all "cookies" in this Cookies Policy.

Most of the cookies on our Platform are set on browsers or devices and used directly by us. These are referred to as "first-party" cookies.

Other businesses ("Partners") also set and use cookies on the Platform. They help us keep it safe and secure and promote our services on other apps and websites. These cookies may enable us, our advertisers and measurement partners to measure ad campaign effectiveness and, where you have provided consent, show you personalised ads. In this Cookies Policy, we refer to cookies set by Partners on the Platform as "third-party cookies".

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies". They exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically or shortly after you close your browser.

Other cookies are "persistent cookies". They stay after you close your browser or app. Persistent cookies expire automatically after a set time, like a few days or weeks. When you return to the Platform, a third-party site or other sites that use the same cookies, persistent cookies on your device can be recognized.

What are cookies used for

Cookies enable us to provide and secure, as well as analyze and customize, the Platform. This includes providing a safer, personalized experience to users of the Platform. For example, we will verify logged-in users to give them an appropriate experience.

Cookies let us, our advertisers and measurement partners measure ad campaign effectiveness. They also allow us to show you ads based on your browsing and profile.

Essential and optional cookies

Some cookies are essential to provide you with the Platform and features you have requested. These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. However, you can control cookies through your browser or device settings, although this may affect Platform functionality.

Other optional, non-essential cookies will be used based on your usage and the sites you visit. We outline a summary of the types of cookies we use below.

Legal basis for using cookies

Legal basis for cookies

Safety and security

We use some cookies to keep you and the Platform safe and secure.

For example, these types of cookies enable us to:

Analytics and research

Some cookies help us understand your use of the Platform and its features. They show which pages you view and how you interact with the Platform.

This information lets us measure and quickly fix any errors on the Platform to improve your experience. We also use the information obtained through these cookies to test design ideas. It helps us understand user activity and patterns. This, in turn, improves the Platform and its features.

Examples of the analytics cookies we use:

  • The first-party cookie is for analytics and web optimization. It lasts for a maximum of 13 months.
  • We also use Google Analytics to analyse Platform usage. This includes the number of page views and unique visitors. Google Analytics data is retained for up to 24 months, in accordance with Google’s settings.

Advertising and measurement

Our Platform uses first-party and third-party cookies for advertising purposes. This includes personalizing ads based on your browsing habits and profile and your off-app activity.

We also use cookies to measure our ads' performance on the Platform.

Examples of the advertising and measurement cookies include:

  • Cookies to show you personalized ads from an advertiser if you have visited their website or app before.
  • Cookies to measure the performance of ads on our Platform. This includes tracking user actions in response to ads. For example, this includes visits to an advertiser's website or purchases. The third-party advertising identifiers "IDFA" and "GAID" are used for ad measurement and personalizing ads.
  • We do not use cookies or mobile advertising identifiers to serve personalised advertising to users under the age of 18. Ads shown to such users are non-personalised or contextual only.
