Privacy policy

This is a static site. No accounts, no logins, no comments, no forms, and nothing is ever sold or paid for here, so there is very little to collect in the first place.

What we collect

Google Analytics 4, once it is switched on, records aggregate visit data: which pages were viewed, roughly which part of the world the visit came from, what kind of device, and which sailing links were clicked. That last one is the only measurement that matters to us, because it tells us whether a comparison actually helped somebody decide. It exists to show us whether a page is useful, not to identify anyone. We store no names, no email addresses and no payment details, because we never ask for them and have nothing to charge you for.

The date field on the availability panel is handled entirely in your browser. It sets up the link you are about to click and is not stored or sent to us.

Cookies and embedded content

Google Analytics sets its own cookies. The cruise videos on the homepage load from the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie domain, so YouTube sets no tracking cookie until you actually press play, and the pier map is a Google Maps embed, which loads Google's own resources when the page renders.

When you click through to a sailing's listing, the booking platform sets its own affiliate cookie so that a booking can be credited back to this site. Those cookies belong to the platform and fall under its privacy policy rather than this one. The affiliate disclosure names which platforms are involved and explains the arrangement.

What we do not do

• Sell or share data with anyone.
• Run advertising networks, retargeting pixels or third-party ad cookies.
• Ask for or store an email address. There is no newsletter and no account.
• Take payments or hold a booking. Everything financial happens on the operator's own listing, on their systems, not here.
• Host a contact form. The contact page is a plain mailto link, so an email to us travels through your own mail provider and nowhere else.

Hosting

The site is served by Cloudflare, which keeps standard server logs including IP addresses for security and abuse prevention. We do not query those logs to identify visitors.

Your choices

Browser-level tracking protection, an ad blocker or a Do Not Track setting will each stop the analytics script, and nothing here breaks when they do. Every page works with JavaScript disabled apart from the mobile menu and that date field on the availability panel. If you would rather leave no affiliate cookie at all, the disclosure page explains how to reach the same operators directly.
