For example, they can help the site recall which pages you visited, how long you stayed, your general location, and technical details like your IP address.

How We Use Your Data

We only ask for personal details when absolutely necessary, such as when you:

• Leave a comment: We collect your name and email to publish your comment and verify you are not a bot.

Access Statistics

We collect anonymous data about site visits and clicks to understand what content is most popular and to improve our offerings. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. It helps us understand which posts are most read and which links are most clicked.

Why are these statistics important? This data acts as a compass, guiding our content creation. It helps us identify what topics, destinations, and activities are most relevant to our audience. It also provides key metrics for potential partnerships with hotels, companies, and attractions.

Third-Party Content and Links

Embedded Media

Some posts may include embedded content from platforms like YouTube or Instagram. This content behaves as it would on its original platform. As a result, these third-party platforms may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction with the embedded content. Turista FullTime is not responsible for the data collection practices of these external sites.

External Links

Monetization
