This information is sent to our AI service to generate your itinerary. We do not require an account or collect personal identifiers such as your name, email, or payment details.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

Like most websites, we automatically collect:

  • Browser type, device type, and operating system
  • IP address (anonymized where possible)
  • Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referral URLs

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4Cookies & Tracking

  • Essential cookies: Required for the site to function (e.g., session state for the trip planner).

We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking for ad targeting.
