Privacy policy

My travel guides are free to use and I don't collect any information about the reader other than anonymized data that is used for internal statistics to improve site functionality. An example of such data is statistics about which pages that are viewed and the links that are clicked.

What data is collected?

The information that is collected is purely of a technical nature, gathered automatically by the user browsing the site. Examples include the IP number of the client, the browser type and version, the device that was used, the pages that were visited, the time that was spent on each page etc.

Purpose

The purpose of collecting this information is to understand the users better so that I can improve the content available on the site. An example is to use the session time to see which travel guides have lower read times and need to be improved. For this I use analytics tools such as Google Analytics.

How is the collected data stored?

The data is stored securely on our servers and on the servers of Google, and only for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purpose of it, as it is described here in the privacy policy. The data is always stored in an anonymized fashion and can never be traced back to an individual user.

Do you use cookies (and if so, how)?

This site does not use cookies for any functionality and can be used with cookies completely turned off. Our analytics tool (Google Analytics) uses cookies to, for example, keep track of unique user sessions.

How do you make money and how does this affect the ranking of hotels?

My travel guides are monetized by affiliate links. This means that whenever a booking is made through one of our links I get a small commission, at no cost to the user. The aim is to keep our guides and reviews independent and the ranking of hotels is not affected by any commission levels, as these are the same for all hotels. I always try to show the hotel that has the best guest opinions, best matches the theme of the guide, or that I simply like the best, highest on my lists.

Updates to the policy

You can always find the latest version of the privacy policy on this page (the page you are reading right now). In case the privacy policy is changed we will do our best to update our users about the new terms.
