Cookie Policy
Menaal International (Pvt) Ltd. (“we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website to enhance your user experience, streamline your digital travel bookings, and optimize our platform’s overall performance. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing minor pieces of data that are downloaded and stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They allow the platform to recognize your device, remember your preferences, secure your login details, and facilitate smoother navigation between pages.
2. How We Use Cookies
To help you look up the lowest global travel fares using our connected GDS networks (such as Galileo and Abacus) and securely process your digital itineraries, we employ cookies across several administrative categories.
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the fundamental operation of our website and booking engines. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
- Session Access: When you open our login page, a temporary cookie verifies if your browser configuration accepts cookies. This is discarded immediately when you close your browser.
- Booking Consistency: Tracks your selected flight paths, hotel allotments, or visa categories as you navigate from selection to our billing gateways.
B. Functionality & Performance Cookies
These cookies enable our platform to provide improved functionality, personalized features, and interface options based on your previous actions.
- Account Login Vouchers: When you log in to your custom travel profile, we establish multiple cookies to save your authentication details and screen choices. Login credentials last for two days, while screen layout preferences are retained for one year.
- “Remember Me” Verification: Selecting this option extends your account persistence to two weeks. Logging out clears these data blocks immediately.
- Comment Management: If you elect to leave a public comment or query on our portal, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website tracking configurations in cookies. These exist strictly for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details for future posts. These cookies persist for one year.
- Content Management: For authors or administrators, saving or publishing a post updates a minor cookie that identifies the post ID of the article edited. It contains zero personal variables and expires after 24 hours.
C. Third-Party & Embedded Content Cookies
Some sections of our travel pages feature embedded content from trusted external platforms (such as airline tracking maps, YouTube destination summaries, or Google Maps directions). These external networks may independently run their own localized tracking codes and monitor your interaction with their content, especially if you possess an active account on their servers.

4. How to Manage and Control Cookies
Most modern web browsers are configured to accept cookies automatically. However, you maintain absolute control over how these data blocks interact with your system. You can update your browser settings to:
- Block all third-party tracking scripts.
- Notify you every time a new cookie is requested by a server.
