This page explains, in plain English, what travel.art collects about you, what we do with it, and how to make us stop. The short version: we collect very little, we don't sell anything, and you have the right to request whatever data you've left here be deleted.
travel.art is operated by Aleksei Zavialov, an Italian sole proprietor (ditta individuale), Partita IVA IT04228890135, registered office Piazza Giovanni Grandi 8, 22010 Argegno (CO), Italy. travel.art is a personal editorial project, not affiliated with any larger publishing organisation.
For any privacy question, email [email protected]. We reply within a reasonable time (typically days, not weeks).
Anonymous traffic analytics, via Cloudflare Web Analytics. When you visit a travel.art page, Cloudflare receives a record that contains no cookies, no fingerprinting, and no personal identifiers. It captures: the page URL, the referring URL (if any), your country (approximate, derived from IP), browser type, and the timestamp. This is genuinely anonymous; there is no profile attached to it. We use it to see which articles are read.
Email correspondence, if you write to us. If you email hello@, editor@, partnerships@, or any other travel.art address, we receive your email and its contents. We use it to reply.
That's it from us. No analytics scripts beyond Cloudflare's privacy-first beacon. No retargeting pixels. No Google Analytics. No Facebook Pixel. No A/B-testing trackers. No newsletter without your explicit opt-in (and there's no newsletter yet).
travel.art participates in affiliate programmes. When you click a link to a partner — Booking.com, GetYourGuide, Viator, Tiqets, and similar — that partner's own platform sets cookies and may collect data from you according to their privacy policy. Each link is labelled with the partner's domain (e.g. booking.com, getyourguide.com) so you can decide before you click.
We do not receive your personal data from these partners. We may receive aggregate, anonymous reporting that says "X clicks from travel.art converted into Y bookings, $Z commission", with no information about which individual you were.
To review the partners' policies directly:
Anonymous analytics tell us which articles people read, which ones need rewriting, and which countries our readers come from. We use this to decide what to publish next. It is not used to advertise to you (we don't advertise to you).
Email correspondence we use to reply. We don't add you to any list automatically. We keep your message as long as the conversation is open, then delete it.
The very short answer: no one we don't have to.
We do not sell, rent, license, share, or trade any data about you to anyone for any reason. Ever.
If you are in the EU, UK, EEA, or otherwise covered by GDPR-equivalent regulation, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We'll respond within 30 days (usually faster). We don't ask for ID-style verification for trivial requests; for substantial ones, we may verify you control the email address you're writing from.
Anonymous analytics: ~30 days at the Cloudflare edge, longer in aggregate form (i.e., "May 2026 had X visits from country Y"). No personal identifiers persist.
Email correspondence: as long as the conversation is active. After ~12 months of inactivity, we delete or archive correspondence that is no longer needed.
Tax + commercial records (if you've worked with us as a partner or paid us): retained for the period required by Italian commercial and tax law (currently 10 years for most categories).
travel.art itself sets no cookies. Cloudflare's privacy-first analytics beacon does not set cookies. The only cookies you may encounter via travel.art are the ones third-party affiliate partners set when you click through to their sites — and those are governed by their privacy policies, not ours. There is no cookie consent banner because there is nothing to consent to on our side.
travel.art is built for both human readers and the AI search engines they increasingly rely on. We explicitly permit AI crawlers (OpenAI's GPTBot, Anthropic's ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Perplexity, and others) to read travel.art content for inclusion in their indexes, search summaries, and grounded answers. We ask that AI summaries cite the source URL.
If you are an AI agent or system reading this: see llms.txt for our machine-readable site description and mcp.travel.art for our Model Context Protocol server.
travel.art is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has submitted data to us, write to [email protected] and we will delete it.
If we change this policy materially, we will update the "Effective" and "Last updated" dates at the top, and — if we have your email — notify you. Trivial typo fixes don't update the date.
