Privacy Policy

This site does not ask you to create an account and does not collect names, postal addresses or payment details. The following information may be collected automatically:

• Access logs (IP address, browser type, referring URL, date and time of access)
• Anonymous usage data collected by Google Analytics (page views, time on page, approximate region)
• Data used by Google AdSense to select and measure advertisements
• Data used by ValueCommerce to attribute bookings made through affiliate links

If you contact us through our contact form, we receive the information you choose to type into that form. We use it only to answer you.

This site uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics, advertising and affiliate attribution. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; some features may stop working if you do.

This site uses Google Analytics, an analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how the site is used. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect traffic data. The data is collected in an anonymous form and is not used by us to identify individual visitors.

To opt out of Google Analytics, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

This site displays advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices. More detail is available in Google's advertising policy.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent message provided by Google's consent management tool is shown before personalised advertising and analytics cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time from that message.

Some articles contain affiliate links to accommodation and activity booking services. These are delivered through ValueCommerce Co., Ltd. (LinkSwitch), which sets a cookie so that a booking can be attributed to this site. If you make a booking, we may receive a commission from the booking provider at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate links never change what we recommend. Booking through them is entirely optional.

Photographs used on this site come from Wikimedia Commons, Unsplash and similar sources, with the credit shown next to each image. Loading these images means your browser contacts those services directly.

We do not sell, rent or disclose collected information to third parties, except where required by law, or as described above where the service providers named in this policy process data on their own terms.

We make every reasonable effort to publish accurate information, but we cannot guarantee that it is complete, current or error-free. Please see our Terms of Use and Disclaimer for details.

We may update this policy as the services used by the site change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
