What personal information we may collect

The personal information we collect depends on how you use the website. You can browse most of the site without directly giving us personal information, but some features may involve information being collected.

Contact forms and email messages

If you contact City Break Explorer using a form or by email, we may collect your name, email address and any information you choose to include in your message. This information is used to respond to your enquiry, deal with your request and keep an appropriate record of the conversation where needed.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for your enquiry.

Comments

If comments are enabled on the website and you leave a comment, we may collect the information shown in the comments form, together with your IP address and browser user agent string. This helps with spam detection, moderation and website security.

If the site does not currently allow comments, this section will only apply if commenting is enabled in the future.

Cookies

Cookies are small files placed on your device by websites. They can help websites function properly, remember preferences, understand website usage, support analytics, enable embedded content or track affiliate referrals.

If you leave a comment, you may be able to opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies so you do not need to enter them again when leaving another comment. Analytics, embedded content and affiliate links may also use cookies or similar tracking technologies.

Analytics and affiliate links

City Break Explorer may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the website. This can include information such as pages viewed, links clicked, time spent on the site and general usage patterns. We use this information to improve the website and make the content more useful.

Some links on City Break Explorer may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and later make a purchase or booking. Affiliate links may use cookies or tracking identifiers so the relevant partner can credit the referral.

Affiliate links do not normally change the price you pay, but they may help support the running of the website.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on City Break Explorer may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos, maps, images, booking tools or social media content. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, add additional tracking and monitor your interaction with their embedded content. Their own privacy policies will apply.

Sharing, retention and security

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help operate the website, such as hosting, analytics, email, spam protection, security, contact forms or other technical services. We may also share information if required by law or to protect the website and its users.

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, unless a longer period is required for legal, security or administrative reasons. We take reasonable measures to help protect information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

Your rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights over your personal information. These may include the right to ask for access to the personal information we hold about you, request correction, request deletion, object to certain processing or ask for processing to be restricted.

To make a privacy-related request, contact us at admin@citybreakexplorer.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

External links

City Break Explorer links to other websites, including hotels, attractions, booking services, affiliate partners, destination websites, travel providers and useful information sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content or policies of external websites.

Before sending personal information to another website, check that website’s own privacy policy and terms.

Children’s privacy

City Break Explorer is intended for general travel information and is not aimed specifically at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the site, please contact us.
