This privacy and cookie policy sets out how European Travel Magazine uses and protects any information that you give while using our website www.e-travelmag.com and www.eutravelmag.com. Your privacy is very important to us.

If we ask you to provide certain information by which we can identify you when using this website, be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

This privacy policy is subject to change without notice and was last updated on June 15, 2018. We advise you to re-read this from time to time to make sure you are happy with our policies.

Information collection

We may collect the following information:

  • Contact information including email addresses
  • Demographic information such as age, preferences and interests
  • IP Addresses, and anonymous information about clicks and activity on the website
  • Other information relevant to giveaways

Any information you may send, post or deliver to us, either electronically or otherwise, regardless of whether we have committed not to collect it as part of our standard, practices under this policy.

We will not sell, lease or distribute your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so. We may use your personal information to send you promotional information about third parties which we think you may find interesting.

How do we use cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to work more efficiently and to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to each user’s needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you don’t. A cookie doesn’t give us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the information you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent or limit you from taking full advantage of the website.

Use of Google Analytics

We want to make sure that our website contains content that is valuable and useful to you. To help us with this, we have implemented Google Analytics demographics and interest reporting features on our website. These tools allow us to review anonymous data regarding the gender, age and interests of website visitors so we can adapt our website content to better reflect their needs. Although this information is collected through your Google ad settings, it is not provided to us in a personally-identifiable format. This means we cannot identify what information is about you, and we will never attempt to do so.

You can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customise Google Display Network ads using the Google Ad settings or through the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Third Party Cookies

We allow third parties to collect certain anonymous information when you visit this website. These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (eg: click stream information) during your visit to gauge popular content and visitor numbers. These companies typically use a cookie or third-party web beacon to collect this information through the use of cookies. You can read more about cookies at www.aboutcookies.org.

Email list

European Travel Magazine maintains an email mailing list of those who freely subscribe via a third-party website, in our case MailChimp. These emails are used by us but only to email newsletters, occasional updates, and promotional content. You are free to unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of your newsletter emails. Your email details will never be passed on to third parties by us.

Managing your information

If at any time you no longer want to receive emails similar to those you are receiving from us, you may unsubscribe using the “unsubscribe” link or button at the bottom of our email messages or, if you prefer, you may unsubscribe by contacting us by email at the email address above including the word “unsubscribe” in the subject line.
