6. Analytics, Advertising & Affiliates
Analytics: We may use tools like Google Analytics to measure traffic and performance. These set cookies and collect usage data in line with their policies.
Advertising/Personalization: If enabled and consented, ad partners may set cookies or use device identifiers to show relevant ads and cap frequency.
Affiliate programs: We participate in affiliate programs (e.g., Amazon Associates and other travel partners). When you purchase via our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for partners’ websites, products, or policies. Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms and privacy policies.
7. Embedded Content & Comments
Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, social widgets). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website, which may collect data, use cookies, and monitor your interaction.
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the form along with IP address and browser user-agent to help with spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) of your email may be sent to Gravatar to check if you use it. See Automattic’s Privacy Policy. After approval, your profile image (if any) becomes visible alongside your comment.
9. Data Retention
Comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in profiles. Users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time (username cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
