This privacy policy explains how Iceland Places ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit https://icelandplaces.com.

What We Collect

We collect limited information to operate and improve the site:

  • Usage data — pages visited, time spent on page, referring URLs, and browser/device type. This is collected automatically via analytics software and is not linked to your identity.
  • Cookie data — small files stored in your browser that help us remember preferences and serve relevant ads (see Cookies below).

We do not collect your name, email address, or payment information unless you voluntarily contact us.

Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies — required for the site to function correctly. These cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g. Google Analytics). Data is aggregated and anonymised.
  • Advertising cookies — used by ad networks (Google AdSense) to serve relevant ads. These may track your activity across other websites.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling advertising cookies will not remove ads, but the ads may be less relevant to you.

Third Parties

We work with the following third-party services that may process data about your visit:

  • Google AdSense — serves display advertising on our pages. Google's privacy policy applies: policies.google.com/privacy
  • Affiliate networks — we link to booking platforms (such as GetYourGuide and Viator) and may earn a commission if you make a purchase. These services have their own privacy policies.
  • Google Analytics — we use this to measure site traffic and understand which content is most useful to visitors. IP addresses are anonymised.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
