Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 2026
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones may be set when you visit followmika.com, who sets them, and how you can manage your choices.
What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you browse a website. It stores information about your visit and may be read again on later visits. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by other companies whose content is embedded in that website (third-party cookies).
Cookies Used on followmika.com
1. Strictly Necessary Cookie
followmika.com sets a single strictly necessary cookie, which is required to remember your cookie choices. It does not track you and is not used for advertising, so it does not require your prior consent. All other cookies described below are only set after you give your consent.
- Name: followmika_consent
- Purpose: stores the consent choices you made in the cookie banner or settings panel
- Set by: followmika.com (managed by Klaro)
- Retention period: 365 days
2. Travel Search Widgets (Third-Party Cookies)
Some pages include search tools (flights, hotels, activities, transfers, rentals) provided by our affiliate partners. These widgets are blocked by default and only load after you give your consent, either for all partners or for each partner individually. Once loaded, a widget may set cookies on the partner's own domain to record your searches and attribute any booking to FollowMika so that we can earn a commission.
These cookies are controlled by the partners, not by FollowMika. Their names, retention periods and use are described in each partner's own cookie and privacy policies. The partners currently integrated are:
- Expedia Group (Expedia, Hotels.com, Abritel, Vrbo): flight, hotel, package and vacation-rental search. Examples of cookies: HMS, DUAID, MC1, bm_sv.
- Viator (a TripAdvisor company): activity and tour search. Examples of cookies: TAUnique, TASessions, TASSK.
- Kiwitaxi (via Travelpayouts): airport and city transfer search.
- Welcome Pickups (via Travelpayouts): private airport and city transfer booking.
- Compensair (via Travelpayouts): flight delay and cancellation compensation checker.
- BikesBooking (via Travelpayouts): motorbike and scooter rental search.
- Discover Cars: car rental search.
This list is updated whenever a new partner widget is added to the site.
3. Audience Measurement (Google Analytics)
followmika.com uses Google Analytics 4 to measure how the site is used (pages viewed, country, device and browser type, how visitors arrive). It is blocked by default and only loads after you give your consent. Once loaded, it sets the following cookies on followmika.com:
- _ga: distinguishes visitors by means of a random identifier. Retention period: 2 years.
- _ga_TG0R04N340: keeps track of the session state. Retention period: 2 years.
The data collected is processed by Google (Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC); see our Privacy Policy for details. If you withdraw your consent, these cookies are deleted and no further measurement takes place.
Affiliate Links
In addition to the widgets above, some pages contain simple affiliate links, including links to Amazon. Displaying these links does not set any cookie on your device. If you click one, you leave followmika.com and the partner's website (for example Amazon) may set its own cookies on its own domain to attribute the visit to FollowMika. Those cookies are governed by that partner's cookie policy, and you can manage them directly on its website.
As an Amazon Associate, FollowMika earns from qualifying purchases.
Managing Your Consent
Consent is managed by Klaro, an open-source consent manager. When consent is needed, a banner or a consent box next to the widget lets you:
- accept all partners;
- decline all non-essential cookies;
- customise your choice partner by partner.
Declining has no effect on your access to the site's content: only the partner search widgets remain hidden and no audience measurement takes place.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the button below. Withdrawing your consent stops the widgets and Google Analytics from loading on your next visits; cookies already set by partners on their own domains can be deleted through your browser settings.
Browser Settings
Independently of the consent tool, you can configure your browser to block or delete cookies:
Blocking all cookies may prevent the partner widgets from working.
