Last updated: May 2026

Summary: WebsiteLad uses cookies and third-party advertising (Google AdSense) to support the site. We do not sell your personal data. Read on for the full details.

1. Who We Are

WebsiteLad (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website websitelad.com — an independent eSIM review and comparison hub. We help travellers find the best eSIM providers for their destination.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us via our Contact page.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

Information you provide voluntarily

  • Your name and email address if you submit a contact form or comment on the site.

Information collected automatically

When you visit WebsiteLad, certain data is collected automatically, including:

  • Your IP address and approximate geographic location
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring URL (the page you visited before arriving here)
  • Date and time of your visit

This data is collected via cookies and analytics tools described below.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. WebsiteLad uses the following types of cookies:

Essential cookies
These are required for the site to function properly, such as WordPress session cookies. You cannot opt out of these without disabling the website.

Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are most popular, how long people stay, and where they come from. This data is aggregated and anonymous. Google’s privacy policy applies: policies.google.com/privacy.

Advertising cookies
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on WebsiteLad. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your browsing activity. These may include personalised ads if you have not opted out. Google’s advertising privacy policy applies: policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Affiliate cookies
Some links on WebsiteLad are affiliate links (for example, links to eSIM providers like Airalo, Nomad, Saily, and RedteaGO). Clicking these links may place a cookie on your device so the provider can attribute any resulting purchase to WebsiteLad. This does not affect the price you pay.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites.

4. Google AdSense and Advertising

WebsiteLad participates in the Google AdSense programme. This means Google may display ads on our site and use cookies to personalise those ads based on your browsing history across the web.

Specifically:

We do not control which specific ads are shown on WebsiteLad — this is managed by Google’s ad systems.

5. Affiliate Relationships and Disclosure

Some links on WebsiteLad are affiliate links. If you click a link and purchase an eSIM plan, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We only recommend providers we believe offer genuine value to travellers.

Our editorial opinions are independent of affiliate relationships. This disclosure is provided in compliance with the FTC guidelines and equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions.

6. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate and improve the website
  • Understand how visitors use WebsiteLad so we can produce better content
  • Display relevant advertisements via Google AdSense
  • Respond to enquiries submitted through our contact form
  • Detect and prevent spam or abuse

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

7. Third-Party Links

WebsiteLad contains links to third-party websites, including eSIM provider websites, app stores, and other resources. This Privacy Policy applies only to WebsiteLad. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

8. Data Retention
