Welcome to The Habit of Travel (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you use our website thehabitoftravel.com (the “Site”).

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Like many websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Keep the Site functioning properly
  • Remember your preferences (where applicable)
  • Understand how visitors use the Site
  • Support analytics and, in some cases, advertising or affiliate tracking

You can usually instruct your browser to refuse cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some parts of the Site may not function properly if you disable cookies.

If comments or other interactive features are enabled on the Site:

  • Any information you choose to share in a comment may be visible to other visitors.
  • We recommend you do not share sensitive personal information in public comments.

We may use a third-party commenting system (such as the built-in WordPress system or another service), which may collect its own data as described in their privacy policies.

6. Affiliate Links & Sponsored Content

The Habit of Travel may participate in affiliate programs, meaning we may earn a small commission if you click on certain links and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.

  • Affiliate links and sponsored content will be used in accordance with applicable disclosure guidelines.
  • When you click an affiliate link, the third-party website may use cookies or other tracking technologies to recognize referrals from our Site.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites you visit via links from our Site. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

7. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services to help operate the Site and understand our audience, such as:

  • Analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics or similar)
  • Email marketing services (e.g., a newsletter provider)
  • Advertising or affiliate networks

These third parties may collect or receive information from your browser (such as IP address or cookie identifiers) and may use that information to provide their services. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to:

  • Provide the services and content you’ve requested
