Privacy Policy

Last updated: [Month Year]

[This is a starting template, not legal advice. If this site will process EU/UK visitor data (GDPR) or California visitor data (CCPA), have a professional review this page before you rely on it — especially once you add analytics, ad networks, or an email list.]

Information we collect

• Cookie consent choice: when you accept or decline cookies using the banner on this site, that choice is stored in your browser's local storage only — it is never sent to us or to any third party.
• Analytics: [Once added, e.g. "We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand which pages are popular. This collects anonymized usage data such as pages visited, general location, and device type."]
• Contact form: submissions through our contact form (name, email, and message) are processed by Netlify Forms and delivered to our internal inbox. They are used only to respond to your message and are not sold or shared with third parties.
• Affiliate tracking cookies: when you click an affiliate link (to Amazon, Booking.com, or similar), that retailer may set its own cookie to track the referral. This is governed by their privacy policy, not ours — see the "Third-party links" section below.

Cookie consent

This site shows a cookie banner on your first visit. Choosing "Accept" or "Decline" only affects optional cookies such as analytics — it doesn't block essential site functionality. You can clear your choice at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site, which will show the banner again.

Third-party links

This site contains links to third-party retailers and booking sites as part of our affiliate program (see our affiliate disclosure). Once you click through to another site, that site's own privacy policy applies — we don't control how they handle your data.

Advertising

[If/when you add display ads, e.g. Mediavine, AdThrive, or Google AdSense, list them here along with a link to their privacy/opt-out policy, since most ad networks require this.]

Your choices

[Note any opt-out mechanisms, e.g. browser cookie settings, Google Analytics opt-out, or an unsubscribe link if you run an email list.]
