What We Actually Know About You
- Basic website stuff - like which pages you visit and what browser you're using. This helps us figure out if our site is broken or slow.
- If you email us, we obviously have your email and whatever you tell us. We're not going to forget you exist after one conversation.
What We Do With Your Info
- Make the website better - if everyone's bouncing from a page, we probably need to fix something.
- Actually answer your emails - revolutionary concept, we know.
- Show you ads that might actually be useful instead of completely random ones (thanks, Google AdSense).
The Cookie Situation
Yes, we use cookies - not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. They help us remember stuff like whether you prefer dark mode, and they help Google figure out what ads might actually interest you instead of showing you random stuff about lawn mowers when you're trying to plan a move to Portugal.
The Ads Thing
We use Google AdSense because, let's be honest, running a website costs money and we like eating. Google shows you ads based on your browsing history, which means you might see ads for flight deals instead of random stuff. If you want to know exactly how Google does this (spoiler: it's complicated), here's their explanation.
How to Opt Out of Stuff
- Turn off cookies in your browser if you want (though some stuff might not work as well).
- Tell advertisers to stop personalizing ads by going to AdChoices - then you'll get random ads instead of potentially useful ones.
Questions?
If something in here doesn't make sense or you want to know more about how we handle your data, just shoot us an email. We're happy to explain anything in more detail.
