Privacy Policy

In my opinion, spammers are lower than pond scum and I don't want any part of it. I detest spam, junk mail and any type of unsolicited advertising and I will not subject anyone to it. Any contact information you disclose to me or Croatia Traveller is kept strictly confidential. Your name, your email and/or postal address, telephone, itinerary preferences or whatever will never be sold or given to anyone else without your express permission.

And yet. . .I do reserve the right to post edited excerpts from your messages (without disclosing any personal, identifiable information of course) on the Croatia Traveller website if, in my opinion, it would help other travellers plan their trip. If you do not want that to happen, please say so in your message.

If you would like identifiable information posted in connection with your message to me, that's fine too.

Visitor Statistics

Like most standard websites, Croatia Traveller collects visitor statistics using google analytics. These include: Internet Protocol addresses (IP addresses), browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and the number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement in the aggregate, and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc., are not linked to personally identifiable information.The purpose of collecting this information is to improve Croatia Traveller and make the navigation experience more useful and enjoyable for you.

Web Cookies

Web cookies (also known as HTTP cookies, or just cookies) are parcels of text that are sent by a server to a Web browser, and then sent back unchanged by the browser each time it accesses that server. In other words, a cookie is a piece of data stored on a user’s computer that is tied to information about the user.

Croatia Traveller does not use cookies. However, some of my business partners (for example, advertisers or Google Adsense) may use cookies. I have no access to, or control over these cookies once I've given permission to them to advertise on this website.

If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so through your individual browser options.

Links

This website contains links to other websites. Please be aware that I am not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. I encourage you, when you leave this website, to read the privacy statements/policies of each and every website you visit, as this particular privacy policy applies solely to this particular website.

Advertisers

I also use third party advertisements on croatiatraveller.com to support the site.  Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on my site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) 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 New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

DoubleClick DART cookies
I also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements).  This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests (”interest based targeting”).  The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey).  DART uses “non personally identifiable information”.  It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers.  You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by visiting http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx  

I partner with ValueClick to serve ads and/or collect certain information when you visit this website. ValueClick may use cookies or web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information during your visit to this website in order to help show advertisements on other websites likely to be more interesting to you. To learn more about this “behavioral advertising” practice or to opt-out of this use of your anonymous information, you can visit http://www.valueclickmedia.com/member_privacy.shtml

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.  This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program.  Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.

If you have any questions about the Croatia Traveller privacy policy, please do not hesitate to contact me.
