eSIM Metric

Privacy Policy

How esimmetric.com handles data: cookies, language preference, affiliate tracking and GDPR rights.

Summary

eSIM Metric collects no personal data through this website. We do not require accounts, do not run advertising trackers, and do not sell data.

What we store

• Language preference ("pref_lang" cookie) — set when the site auto-detects your language or when you pick one. Stored 12 months, on your device only. • Theme preference ("theme" cookie/localStorage) — dark or light mode choice. • Standard server logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL) processed by our hosting provider Cloudflare for security and abuse prevention.

Affiliate links

When you click a provider link, our comparison tier (Travelpayouts) records an anonymous click reference ("sub_id") that identifies the language, provider and page you came from. No personal data is attached. The provider’s own privacy policy then governs your purchase.

Third parties

We use Cloudflare (hosting, CDN, security) and may use privacy-respecting aggregate analytics in the future — this policy will be updated before enabling any that set cookies.

Your rights (GDPR/CCPA)

Because we store no personal data, there is nothing for us to export or delete. Cookies we set can be cleared at any time from your browser settings. For questions use the Contact page.

Changes

Material changes to this policy will be reflected in an updated date at the top of this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an eSIM and how does it work?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM profile built directly into your smartphone hardware. You simply scan a QR code to activate mobile data instantly without swapping physical plastic cards.

Can I keep my WhatsApp and original phone number?

Yes. Travel eSIMs only handle mobile data. Your primary phone number remains active for SMS, phone calls, and messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram.

When should I install my eSIM before traveling?

We recommend installing your eSIM before departure using Wi-Fi at home or the airport. The validity period usually begins only when you connect to a supported local network at your destination.
