Cookies

Summary

Need a Visa? uses cookies on this site to remember your passport (and, if you set one, a city for sorting nearby consulates). We don't show ads or use analytics. If we turn on analytics, Google Analytics may set extra cookies, but only after you accept.

Essential and preference cookies (this site only)

• na_passport — your passport country (kept about one year). It is a preference, not an account.
• na_city — optional city used only to sort nearby embassies and consulates. It never changes the visa answer.
• Security and load-balancing cookies from our hosting provider, if any.

Cookie categories

• Strictly necessary — needed for the site to work.
• Preferences — remembering choices such as your passport.
• Analytics — if enabled, Google Analytics 4 runs only after you choose Accept. Until then analytics storage stays off. We never pair your IP address with your passport choice.
• Advertising — none. We don't show ads at the moment; if that changes, we'll update this page first.

In Australia we give clear notice under the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles. For visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, non-essential cookies wait for your consent.

Google Analytics (GA4)

If we turn on Google Analytics 4, it loads only after you accept where consent is required. We measure a small set of actions — pages for a passport and destination, preference changes, clicks to embassies and official sites, and your cookie choice — and never send emails, names or IP addresses. When analytics is off, no analytics tags load.

Managing cookies

We only set the preference cookies listed above. To remove them, use your browser settings or clear site data for needavisa.fyi.
