Last updated: February 2026

Introduction

WC Culture is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. We're transparent about what we do with your information.

What Data We Collect

A. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes:

  • Pages you visit
  • How long you stay on each page
  • Where you came from (Google search, social media, direct link)
  • Your device type (mobile, desktop, tablet)
  • Your approximate location (country, city)
  • Browser and operating system

Google Analytics uses cookies to track this information. These cookies don't identify you personally — they're anonymous.

B. Contact Form

If you contact us through our contact page, we collect:

  • Your email address
  • Your name (if provided)
  • Your message

We use this only to respond to your inquiry. We don't share this with anyone or use it for marketing.

C. Affiliate Links

Some of our content includes affiliate links (e.g., Booking.com, Viator). When you click these links:

  • Booking.com, Viator, etc. may place cookies on your device to track if you make a booking
  • If you book/purchase through their site, we earn a small commission
  • These third parties have their own privacy policies — read them at booking.com/privacy and viator.com/privacy

D. Google AdSense (Coming Soon)

We plan to display ads through Google AdSense. AdSense uses cookies to:

  • Show you relevant ads based on your interests
  • Track ad performance
  • Prevent ad fraud

You can opt-out of personalized ads at myaccount.google.com/ads-settings.

E. Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand user behavior through:

  • Heatmaps showing where users click
  • Session recordings of how users navigate
  • These are anonymous and don't identify you personally
