Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies FlyCheapAlways uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. By using our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described here.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember preferences or behaviour. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.
Cookies We Use
| Cookie / Service | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*, _gid) |
Analytics | Measures site traffic, page views, user behaviour, and session duration. Data is anonymized — IP addresses are truncated before storage. Used to understand which content is most helpful so we can improve the site. | Up to 2 years |
| Facebook Pixel (_fbp, _fbc) |
Marketing | Tracks conversions from Facebook ads (if any) and helps measure ad effectiveness. If you are a Facebook user, this may be used to serve relevant travel ads on Facebook. You can opt out via Facebook's ad preferences. | Up to 90 days |
| Travelpayouts Affiliate (marker, various TP cookies) |
Affiliate / Functional | Set when you click a flight, hotel, or car booking link. Records that the click originated from FlyCheapAlways so we receive the appropriate affiliate commission if you complete a booking. Does not affect the price you pay. | Up to 30 days |
| Cookie Consent (cookieconsent_status) |
Strictly Necessary | Stores your cookie consent preference so we don't show the consent banner on every page visit. | 1 year |
Strictly Necessary vs Optional Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies (e.g., consent preference storage) are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled.
Analytics and marketing cookies are optional. You can decline them via our cookie consent banner without affecting your ability to search for flights and hotels.
Affiliate cookies are functional — if you click a booking link, these cookies help ensure we receive credit for the referral at no cost to you. Disabling third-party cookies in your browser will prevent these from being set.
How to Control Cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Cookie consent banner — when you first visit the site, you can accept or decline optional cookies.
- Browser settings — all major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies: Chrome · Firefox · Safari · Edge
- Google Analytics opt-out — install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Facebook ad preferences — manage at facebook.com/adpreferences.
- Your Online Choices — youronlinechoices.com lets you opt out of interest-based advertising from multiple networks.
Note: blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some features on this and other websites.
Third-Party Cookies
When you click a link to a third-party booking site (Booking.com, Expedia, etc.), that site may set its own cookies, subject to their own cookie policies. FlyCheapAlways has no control over third-party cookies set after you leave our site.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
