Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters here. This page explains, in plain language, what information this site collects and what happens to it.

What this site collects

The main thing collected is your email address, and only when you choose to give it by signing up for a free guide or newsletter through one of the forms on this site. Nothing more than needed is ever asked for.

How your email is handled

Email signups are processed and stored by Brevo, which acts as the email service provider (a data processor for this site). Your address is used to send you the guide you asked for and occasional related travel and language tips. Brevo's handling of your data is governed by their own privacy terms.

Cookies and analytics

This site keeps tracking to a minimum. When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. No analytics cookies are stored unless you choose "Accept".

Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google) measures overall traffic and which pages are useful. Until you accept, it runs in a limited, cookieless consent mode that does not store cookies or identify you. If you accept, it stores its own analytics cookies to measure visits more accurately. If you reject, it stays in the cookieless mode. This applies to both vasikova.com and the guide pages on italian.vasikova.com.

You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer. You can also opt out of Google Analytics on every site with Google's opt-out browser add-on, or block and delete cookies through your browser settings.

Separately, affiliate partners may set their own cookies when you click through to them, which is standard for how affiliate links work.

Your rights

Under regulations like the GDPR and CAN-SPAM, you can ask to see, correct, or delete the data held about you, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from future sends.
