We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Disclosure of Sponsored Links, Affiliate Tracking & Commissions

Our website may contain advertisements and sponsored or affiliate links on some pages. These are typically served through our advertising or affiliate partners, for example, Booking.com and Amazon Affiliates, or are self-served through our own means. We only use trusted advertising partners who, to the best of our knowledge, each have high standards of user privacy and security. However, we do not always control the actual advertisements displayed by our advertising or affiliate partners. If you click on links to their websites, our advertising and affiliate partners may collect data and use cookies. This is entirely out of our responsibility.

Clickable sponsored or affiliate links may be displayed as a website URL, an image, a form or as a titled text link.

Clicking on any advertisement, sponsored or affiliate link may track your actions by using a cookie saved to your device. Your actions are usually recorded as a referral from our website by this cookie. In this way, we may earn a small commission from the advertiser or advertising partner, at no cost to you, whether you purchase on their website or not.

Specifically, as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Likewise, through affiliate partnerships with, for example, Booking.com, Japan Rail Pass, Get Your Guide, Hostelworld, Klook, and Discover Cars, we earn from purchases through affiliate links.

We use advertising and affiliate partners to help generate income from the website, which allows us to continue our work and provide you with the best overall experience and valued information.

All views and opinions expressed on this website are entirely our own. We have no control over and assume no responsibility or guarantee for the services and products offered through affiliate or other links/descriptions. Therefore, you should always verify the services and products offered by the provider.

If you have any concerns about these things, we suggest you do not click on any advertisements or links (sponsored, affiliate or others) found throughout the website.

Email Newsletter Subscription

Users can subscribe to our email newsletter. We store the name and email you provide us with. Our newsletters comply with the GDPR and are sent through an email-sending service provider such as the MailPoet sending service. Using an email-sending service enables us to send out newsletters to a list of subscribers.

Newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. These are embedded in emails and allow us to analyse the success rate of the emails. Through these tracking pixels, we will know if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. We use this information for analytical purposes and to improve and adapt the content of our newsletters. The sending service uses cookies only for operation. Except for the name and email address, no identifiable information is tracked outside this website.

We will only send you emails if you have signed up for our newsletter and agreed to our Privacy Policy. You can at any time unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of the newsletters.

Children’s Privacy

Our service does not address anyone under the age of 18 (‘children’).

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your children have provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
