Google Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, session activity, browser and device information, approximate geographic location, referral source, and interactions with website content.
Google Analytics uses identifiers, including a first-party cookie commonly named _ga, to distinguish users and sessions. Google requires websites using Analytics to disclose its use and how visitor information is collected and processed.
The information collected through Google Analytics helps us evaluate website performance, identify useful content, troubleshoot problems, and improve the visitor experience.
Visitors may reduce or prevent Analytics tracking through browser settings or the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
6. Google AdSense and Advertising
eSIMs.ca uses or may use Google AdSense and other Google advertising services to display advertisements.
Third-party advertising vendors, including Google, may place or read cookies on your browser or use web beacons, IP addresses, device information, and similar technologies as a result of ads being served on this website.
Google and its advertising partners may use advertising cookies to:

7. Consent for Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland
Visitors located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland may be shown a consent message provided through Google’s certified Consent Management Platform.
The message allows visitors to consent, decline consent, or manage choices relating to cookies, advertising personalization, analytics storage, and the collection, sharing, and use of data.
Google requires publishers serving applicable advertising in these regions to use a Google-certified consent management platform and obtain consent where legally required.
Consent choices may affect whether personalized, non-personalized, or limited advertisements are displayed.

At this time, eSIMs.ca does not have affiliate relationships with eSIM providers and does not earn commissions when visitors choose or purchase a provider or plan.
Every recommendation is based on hands-on testing, detailed research, official provider information, and professional judgment.
Advertising displayed on eSIMs.ca does not determine which providers, plans, products, or services are reviewed, compared, ranked, or recommended.
If eSIMs.ca enters an affiliate relationship in the future, this Privacy Policy and the website’s disclosure information will be updated.
