Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your machine to help a website provide a better user experience. In general, cookies are used to retain user preferences, allow commenting on blog posts and provide anonymised tracking data to third party websites like Google Analytics. As a rule, cookies will make your browsing experience better.

We use cookies to record user-specific information within our website, that can then be tracked via Google Analytics. Cookies also enable our visitors to leave public comments on blog posts without re-entering their information each time. Visitors can also post anonymous comments without submitting personal details.

Should you wish to amend your details on an existing comment, please email us at contact@thecruiseblogger.com. Thecruiseblogger.com is not responsible for anyone who chooses to post a comment using their real name or contact details. We actively discourage anyone from posting personal details such as email addresses or telephone numbers publicly. We share our own blog posts on social media and this means that comments on shared posts will be visible on social platforms.

You can turn off the use of cookies at anytime by changing your specific browser settings. Instructions for doing so can be found on specific web browsers’ websites.

Email Subscription

Thecruiseblogger.com uses a WordPress plugin called Email Subscribers. The plugin developers do not store any of your personal data. Email Subscribers allows this website to send you new blog post notification updates as and when they are written. The plugin also allows us to see who has opened the post notification emails and at what time. If you have any subscription queries, please email us at contact@thecruiseblogger.com. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Contact Form

Anyone using the Contact Form must tick a box consenting to submitting their personal details. These details are often deleted (in a secure manner) once we have replied to the query, unless the query is ongoing. A spam filter is in place to minimise the amount of unnecessary mail.

This blog does not share personal information, other than to analyse and optimise visitors’ content and reading experience through the use of cookies. Your data will not be misused.

We are not responsible for republished content from this blog on other blogs or websites without our permission.

This Privacy Policy is subject to change without notice and was last updated on 23rdMay 2018. This page will be reviewed and revised occasionally. Your use of this site constitutes an acceptance of this Privacy Policy.
