Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-14

This policy explains what information CostTrek collects, how it is used, and the choices you have over cookies and advertising. CostTrekis an independent site run by Igor Zagorodnyi; see our About page.

Information we collect

CostTrek is a content site. We do not ask you to create an account or submit personal data to browse it. We automatically receive standard technical data (IP address, browser type, pages viewed) and use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.

How we use data

  • To operate, secure and improve the website.
  • To measure traffic with Google Analytics 4.
  • To show advertising, which may use cookies to personalise ads.

Analytics & the services we use

To keep this honest, here is exactly what runs on CostTrek and whether it sets cookies:

  • Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-MYL1G6RWDF) — measures traffic. It runs with Google Consent Mode: in the EEA, UK and Switzerland it sends only cookieless pings and sets no cookies until you accept; once you accept it sets the _ga cookie.
  • Google AdSense — the advertising script loads site-wide. When ads are shown it may set advertising cookies; personalised-ad consent in the EEA/UK is handled by Google's consent tools, and you can opt out via the links below.
  • Travelpayouts (travel affiliate network) — a script that sets the session cookie am_user_session to attribute affiliate clicks. It is set on all visits, including in the EEA/UK, and is not controlled by the cookie banner.
  • Cloudflare Web Analytics — a privacy-friendly traffic beacon that sets no cookies and needs no consent.

Advertising & third parties

We display ads served by third-party networks (currently Google AdSense). These partners, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising here:

We also use affiliate links: if you click a partner offer (flights, car rental, insurance and similar) and book, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These links are marked and never affect the figures or rankings we show.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct or delete your data and to object to certain processing. Contact us to exercise them.
