Advertising behavior may vary depending on your location, consent choices, browser settings, and applicable privacy laws.
Affiliate and Conversion Tracking Technologies

For example, Tripstou uses a GetYourGuide widget/loader to display travel experiences and activities. Embedded third-party widgets may load their own scripts, images, cookies, or tracking technologies.
Tripstou does not fully control how third-party tools manage cookies once they are loaded or once you interact with them.

Google Funding Choices and Consent Mode
Tripstou uses Google Funding Choices / Privacy & Messaging to display privacy, consent, and ad-related messages in applicable regions, including European regulations and certain U.S. state privacy regulations.
Tripstou also uses Google Consent Mode V2 to help Google tags adjust their behavior based on consent signals where applicable. These signals may relate to analytics storage, advertising storage, ad user data, and ad personalization.
Important: Tripstou currently uses Google’s official consent solution for Europe and the United States. A specific cookie banner for Brazil/LGPD has not been confirmed as active on the website. Brazilian users can still manage cookies through their browser settings and may contact us with privacy-related requests.
Privacy messages, consent banners, and ad blocking recovery messages are not paid ads. They are privacy, compliance, or website-support messages.

Affiliate Partners and Tracking
Tripstou uses affiliate links and widgets as part of its monetization model. When you click an affiliate link, a third-party partner may use cookies or tracking technologies to identify that the referral came from Tripstou.
This helps affiliate partners attribute commissions for qualifying purchases, bookings, or actions. You do not pay extra because of our affiliate links.

Each affiliate partner is responsible for its own privacy and cookie practices after you interact with their website, widget, or service.
