Privacy Policy & Affiliate Sales

Here is information on what types of personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit our site, and how we safeguard your information. By the way, we never sell your personal information to third parties.

Email Address

This is a free content site. We do not require any information from you (not even a user name or password). We do not sell any information from our site to any outside party. The only e-mail sent from our websites is in response to an inquiry that you may send us or as a result of joining our double opt-in e-mail list.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This is so you see the popup to subscribe only once during your visit or to aid in site navigation.

We also use affiliate links to sites such as Amazon to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers  information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing Philadelphia real estate ads to someone in Philadelphia, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Affiliate Sales

We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. There are also links to other companies on this blog to purchase items.

We earn a very small commission on these sales and it does not affect your price for the item. These small commissions are one way we can continue this blog and provide readers with valuable travel advice for free. We appreciate you supporting our blog by purchasing products and services through our affiliate links, but it’s not at all required. 😊

And that’s it for the technical stuff, because frankly, my brain is full.
