CompareFlights (India edition) displays advertising served by Google AdSense. We do not run Google Analytics or any other audience-measurement tool — AdSense is the only advertising network on this site, and we do not build our own profile of you beyond what Google itself processes for ad delivery (see below).
We also set a single strictly-essential first-party preference (for example, to remember your currency). It is needed for the site to honour a choice you make, is never shared with anyone, and is not used to track you.
When you click through to a booking partner, that partner may set an affiliate-tracking cookie on its own website so a resulting booking is credited to us. That happens on the partner's site, under the partner's own policy, after you leave compareflights.co.in.
You can control ad personalisation at any time via Google's own settings — see adssettings.google.com — or through your browser's cookie controls below.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work and to remember preferences.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain for a set period or until you delete them). They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services ("third-party cookies").
The table below lists everything that may be stored in connection with CompareFlights. We use no analytics cookies of our own on this site.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cf_pref | CompareFlights (first party) | Strictly essential and optional. Stores a UI preference such as your selected currency so the site can honour that choice on a return visit. Not used to track or identify you, and not used for analytics or advertising. | Up to 1 year |
| __gads, __gpi | Google AdSense | Used by Google to serve ads and to limit how many times you see the same advert, and to store your ad-personalisation preferences (Google Publisher Identifier). Manage or opt out at adssettings.google.com. | 13 months |
| (partner affiliate cookie) | Travelpayouts — set on the partner site | When you click through to a booking partner, an affiliate-tracking cookie is set on that partner's website so any resulting booking is attributed to CompareFlights. It is not set by us and is not present on compareflights.co.in. | Typically 30 days |
| (partner affiliate cookie) | Viator — set on the partner site | When you click through to Viator (tours and activities), an affiliate-tracking cookie is set on Viator's website to attribute any resulting booking. It is not set by us. | Typically 30 days |

You can control and manage cookies through your browser at any time. Removing or blocking cookies may affect your experience — for example, your currency choice will not be remembered — and may limit ad personalisation.
