We really care about your privacy. That's not just some marketing blurb.

Privacy: Cookies, Affiliate Links & More

We care about your privacy. It's not just some marketing blurb on a page to make us look good. We are privacy and data protection fanatics. Therefore we stay away from Big Tech as much as possible and don't use any of their tracking methods.

This is how we use cookies and what you can expect from us when it comes to privacy. You'll find the highlights here and links to the detailed versions as well.

Only a Few Cookies

Functional cookies to keep the website and its features up & running.

Privacy-Focused Analytics

We use Plausible Privacy-Friendly Analytics for analysing traffic on our blog. We only want to know what is happening on our blog, not who is on our blog. So absolutely NO BIG TECH tracking & analytics.

Affiliate links

We do use affiliate links when recommending products or services that we use or have used ourselves. This earns us a small commission when you make a purchase via these links so we can cover the costs of running this website. There's no cost to you, we stay 100% independent and our info stays free.

NO profiling, NO Big Tech

NO cookies or other 'identifiers' connecting to 'ad tech & surveillance capitalism' thanks to our simple statistics.

NO ads, NO profile tracking

You won't find ads on our travel blog. No flashy banners or annoying pop-ups distracting you from the content. Big Tech won't track you here.
