سياسة الخصوصية

Last updated: 8 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Wanderistan does and does not collect when you use the site. We have built the site to need as little personal data as possible.

1. No account needed

Wanderistan does not require you to create an account or sign in, and we do not ask for your name, email address or any other contact details to browse the site. That is not the same as collecting nothing: like most ad-supported sites we use analytics and advertising cookies set by third parties, described in sections 4 and 5. You can refuse them — see section 7.

2. Location data

Features such as "Near Me" and finding the nearest on-duty pharmacy use your device's location. Your browser asks for your permission first, and your coordinates are used in your browser to sort nearby results. We do not store your precise location on our servers or share it with third parties.

3. Preferences stored on your device

We save small preference values — such as whether you chose the resident or visitor view and which country you are browsing — in your browser using cookies and local storage. These stay on your device, are not used to identify you, and you can clear them at any time through your browser settings.

4. Analytics

We use analytics to understand how the site is used in aggregate — for example which pages are popular — so we can improve it. The tools we load are:

• Google Analytics, delivered through Google Tag Manager. This sets cookies and processes pseudonymised usage data (including a truncated IP address, pages viewed and approximate location) with Google acting as our processor.
• Ahrefs Web Analytics (analytics.ahrefs.com), a cookie-light traffic measurement script.

We do not use analytics data to identify individual visitors, and we do not sell it. These scripts load only if you accept analytics cookies.

5. Advertising

Wanderistan is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense to serve ads on this site.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and to other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (g.co/adsettings).
• You can opt out of personalised advertising by many other third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.

Advertising cookies load only if you accept marketing cookies. Some pages also carry affiliate links, which earn us a commission on purchases at no extra cost to you — how that works is set out in our affiliate disclosure.

6. Third-party services

The site loads maps and links to external services (such as mapping, accommodation and ticketing providers). When you interact with those, their own privacy policies apply. We encourage you to review them.

7. Your choices

You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page. Declining analytics cookies prevents Google Analytics and Ahrefs from loading; declining marketing cookies prevents advertising and partner content from loading. The rest of the site continues to work either way.

You can also decline location access, clear cookies and local storage, or use your browser's privacy controls and tracking protection at any time. Declining location only disables the location-based features.

8. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date above shows when this version was last updated.

9. Contact

Questions about privacy, or a request relating to your data, can be sent to [email protected], or through our Contact page. Wanderistan is published by Avenmark Media.
