Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

2. How we use cookies

At Expat Essentials, we use cookies for two primary reasons:

• Essential Functionality: We use local storage (similar to cookies) to remember your preferences, such as whether you have accepted or dismissed our cookie consent banner. This ensures you are not repeatedly asked the same question.
• Affiliate Tracking: As a commercial platform, we use affiliate links. When you click on an affiliate link (e.g., to view a health insurance package), a third-party cookie is placed by the affiliate network (such as Awin, Daisycon, or Tradetracker) or the merchant. This cookie tracks that you were referred by Expat Essentials, allowing us to earn a commission if you make a purchase. These cookies do not track your personal identity on our site.

3. Managing your cookies

You have the right to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer.

To clear your preferences on our site, you can clear your browser's local storage and cookies for expat-essentials.com.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Please be aware that when you leave our website by clicking an external link, you are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of that external provider. We recommend reading the cookie policy of any service provider before creating an account with them.
