Mandatory Clause: Ad Technology & Disclosed VendorsThird-Party Ad Technology Partners
To provide personalized travel recommendations and support the free content on this site, we work with third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense.
Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF v2.3)We adhere to the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) v2.3. In compliance with these 2026 standards, our Consent Management Platform (CMP) ensures that:
Proof of Disclosure: Every time you are presented with our privacy banner, a unique "TC String" is generated. This string includes a mandatory "Disclosed Vendors" segment, which acts as a verifiable technical proof that each of our advertising partners was clearly identified to you before any data processing occurred.
Vendor Accountability: We only work with vendors registered on the IAB Global Vendor List (GVL) or Google’s Additional Consent (AC) list. These partners are legally prohibited from processing your data unless the "Disclosed Vendors" signal confirms you were given the opportunity to review their specific privacy practices.
Legitimate Interest Protection: For special purposes like fraud prevention and security, our partners may rely on "Legitimate Interest." TCF v2.3 ensures these activities are only permitted if the specific vendor was successfully disclosed in your initial consent experience.
List of Partners & Opt-OutYou can view a full, real-time list of our current Ad Technology Providers (ATPs) and their individual privacy policies by clicking the "Privacy Settings" button located in the footer of this website. You may revoke your consent or object to data processing for any specific vendor at any time through that same portal.
Cookie Policy for THC TravelerLast Updated: April 15, 2026At THC Traveler, we believe in being as transparent about our digital footprint as we are about our travel itineraries. This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help our website function and remember your preferences. In 2026, we also use "TC Strings" (Transparency and Consent Strings) to securely communicate your privacy choices to our advertising partners.
2. How We Categorize Our Cookies
We group our cookies into four strictly defined categories. You can adjust your preferences for these at any time via the Privacy Settings link in our footer.
Strictly Necessary (Always Active): These are essential for you to browse the site and use its features, such as our booking inquiry form.
Performance & Analytics: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with thctraveler.com (e.g., which Rome articles are most popular) so we can improve our content.
Functional Cookies: These allow the site to remember choices you make (like your preferred language or region) to provide a more personalized experience.
Targeting & Advertising (TCF v2.3 Compliant): These cookies are set through our site by our advertising partners, such as Google AdSense. They are used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant travel ads on other sites.
3. Managing Your Consent
Under the IAB Europe TCF v2.3 framework, we do not load any non-essential cookies (Analytics or Advertising) until you have clicked "Accept" on our privacy banner.
Equivalency:
Our banner provides "Accept All" and "Reject All" options with equal prominence to ensure your choice is freely given.
Withdrawal:
If you wish to change your mind, simply click the "Manage Cookies" button at the bottom of any page.
