3. Cookies and Affiliate Links

This section details our use of cookies, which is central to our Site's operation.

What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small file placed on your device by a website that you visit. It helps the website remember information about your visit, which can make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you.

Affiliate Cookies

When you click on an outbound link to one of our eSIM partners, an affiliate cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie contains a unique, anonymous identifier that tells the partner provider that you were referred by esimguide.com. If you then purchase a product from that provider within a certain timeframe, this cookie ensures we are credited with the referral. These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information like your name or email.

Performance Cookies

We may use cookies from analytics services (like Google Analytics) to collect information about how you use our Site. This data is aggregated and anonymized to help us understand user traffic patterns and improve the Site.

Your Control Over Cookies

You have the right to refuse or disable cookies. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline them. Please be aware that if you choose to disable cookies, some parts of our Site and our partners' sites may not function correctly.

4. Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise share your personally identifiable information with third parties for their marketing purposes. Your information is only disclosed in the following limited circumstances:

  • Affiliate Partners: We do not directly provide your personal data (like your name or email) to our affiliate partners. However, by clicking an affiliate link, you are directed to their website, and the use of their cookies will be governed by their own privacy policy.
  • Service Providers: We may use third-party companies to facilitate our Site, such as hosting providers or analytics services. These third parties have access to your data (like log and usage data) only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

5. Data Security

We are committed to protecting your information. We implement a variety of reasonable security measures to maintain the safety of your data. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
