Privacy Overview - Cookies and Advertisements

We use cookies and various third-party services to analyse our website to understand its performance, identify bugs and problems, as well as to create new features and functionality. In turn this allows us to make this website better for our visitors. We also use IP Anonymization in our analytics so as to protect your privacy as much as possible.

As well as this we also use Google Adsense for dynamic and personalised advertisements and this is a source of income for our website, allowing us to invest in new content, hosting, security, other services, and website development. You can turn off personalised ads by visiting your settings on Google, or by using the non-necessary toggle below.

Finally, to be transparent we are also partnered with a range of services such as GetYourGuide, Booking.com, Omio, and Amazon to name a few. So, whenever you click on a link that takes you to an external website that offers products or services we may get a commission should you purchase. This will be at no extra cost to you. Similar to Adsense mentioned above, this helps us run this website, make improvements, and pay writers for new content.

Below you can see our cookie controls. You can also view our privacy policy for more information and learn how to completely block cookies and browse more anonymously should you prefer.

Once you've adjusted your settings then click the X button above and then "Save and Accept". Thank you for visiting our site.
