Last updated: February 2026
CompassSure is a travel insurance comparison and information website. We are committed to being transparent about the limited data we handle. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit our site.
1. What CompassSure Does
CompassSure provides editorial content and comparison information to help UK travellers find travel insurance. When you click through to a provider, you leave our site and interact directly with that provider. We do not:
- Collect your name, email address, phone number, or postal address
- Collect financial data (card details, bank information, etc.)
- Collect health or medical information
- Have user accounts, registration forms, or login systems
- Process payments or handle insurance transactions
2. Data We Do Collect
The only data collected on CompassSure comes from Google Analytics (GA4) and standard web server logs:
- Usage data: pages visited, time on site, traffic source, and navigation paths
- Technical data: browser type, device type, screen resolution, operating system, and approximate geographic region (country/city level, not precise location)
- Referral data: how you arrived at our site (e.g. search engine, direct link)
This data is anonymised and aggregated. We cannot identify individual visitors from this information.
3. Cookies
Our website uses a small number of cookies:
- Google Analytics cookies (
_ga,_ga_*): used to distinguish users and understand site usage. These expire after 2 years or when you clear your browser cookies. Google's privacy policy applies to data processed by GA4 โ see policies.google.com/privacy. - Cloudflare cookies: our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may set strictly necessary cookies for security and performance purposes.
We do not use marketing cookies, retargeting pixels, or advertising trackers.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. The site will continue to work normally without them.
4. Affiliate Links
When you click a link to a provider on our site, you are redirected through our tracking system to the provider's website via FlexOffers (our affiliate network). This redirect includes a sub-ID parameter (e.g. fobs=compasssure-single-trip) so we can see which pages generate clicks. This does not contain any personal data.
Once you arrive at the provider's website, their own privacy policy applies. We encourage you to review their privacy policy before providing any personal information.

- Google Analytics (GA4): website analytics โ Google Privacy Policy

6. Data Sharing
We do not sell, share, or transfer any personal data to third parties because we do not collect personal data. The anonymised analytics data processed by Google Analytics is subject to Google's own data handling practices.
7. Your Rights
Since we do not collect personal data, most GDPR data subject rights (access, rectification, erasure, etc.) do not apply in practice. However, you have the right to:
