Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how people find and read it. GA4 is only activated after you accept cookies via the consent banner that appears on your first visit. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and GA4 does not load.
Data Collected
When analytics is active, GA4 collects:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- How you arrived at the site (search, direct, referral)
- Device type and browser
- Country-level location (not precise GPS)
- Scroll depth on each page (25%, 50%, 75%, 90% milestones)
- Affiliate link clicks (which partner link was clicked, which page it was on)
- Newsletter signup submissions (that a signup occurred, not your email address)
- WanderSafe destination views (which destination page was viewed and its safety tier)
No personally identifiable data is sold or shared with third parties. GA4 data is used solely to understand site traffic, improve content, and demonstrate platform usage to potential partners.
Cookies
This site uses analytics cookies only. There are no advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or retargeting cookies of any kind.
On your first visit, a banner will ask whether you accept or decline analytics cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage so you are not asked again on future visits. You can change your preference at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" in the footer, or by clearing your browser's cookies and localStorage.
