Tracking requests
In hybrid mode, submitted numbers and optional shipment details can be sent server-side to the selected carrier API or configured tracking provider. Direct carrier lookups use the carrier you explicitly select. The optional aggregate provider may register numbers for ongoing tracking. In official-links-only mode, no carrier or tracking provider is queried by our server.
Website advertising
Editorial guide pages may load Google AdSense using publisher ID pub-6995447348398047. Google and its partners may process device, advertising, and interaction information and use cookies or similar technologies, subject to applicable settings and consent. Advertising scripts are excluded from parcel-tracking results, account and email-confirmation pages, email templates, and error pages. We do not pass your tracking number or alert email address as an AdSense parameter.
Where European consent requirements apply, or visitor region information is unavailable, the AdSense loader waits for a compatible consent-management signal. Google Privacy & Messaging or another Google-certified consent platform must be configured before advertising is enabled for those visitors. How Google uses advertising information.
Email alerts and advertising
If you register for alerts, packages.net stores your account ID, contact email, selected parcel and carrier, confirmation and preference timestamps, delivery notice history, and email provider message identifiers. The email provider receives the address and message content needed to deliver requested emails. Advertising is optional and does not share your email with sponsors. Confirmation emails contain no advertising, and the templates contain no tracking pixels. The sending provider’s open and click tracking settings must be reviewed before email alerts launch.
Use the alert dashboard or links in each email to stop advertising or all delivery notices. The email feature is disabled until a sender and verified delivery data are configured. In the private preview, platform sign-in also controls access to these pages.
Temporary processing
The server may reuse a lookup response for 60 seconds. Expired entries may remain in runtime memory until eviction or shutdown. Tracking details are not intentionally stored in a packages.net shipment database. Hosting and provider systems may retain operational records under their own policies.
Browser behavior
The page does not save your parcel history to browser storage or put tracking numbers in the address bar. Opening a tracking link sends you to the named third party. Links labeled “with number” include your tracking number in that destination URL. Other links require you to copy and paste the number. Carrier sites and hosting systems apply their own privacy policies. Do not submit another person’s shipment details without permission.
