Information We Collect

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This collects anonymised data including pages visited, time on site, approximate geographic location (country/city level), and device/browser type. We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or payment details.

Affiliate Disclosure

This site participates in affiliate programmes with accommodation booking platforms and transport providers. When you click an affiliate link and make a booking, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links are clearly marked and use rel="nofollow" attributes.

Our editorial content is independent of our affiliate relationships. We recommend places, hotels, and services based on their quality and relevance to visitors, not on whether they pay us a commission.

Third-Party Links

This site contains links to external websites (booking platforms, ferry operators, hotel websites). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained for 14 months in accordance with Google Analytics default settings. We do not store any personal data on our servers.

Your Rights

If you have questions about your data or wish to request deletion of any information, please contact us through our contact page.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised.
