Who we are
Hi! We are Daniel and Ilona and you may already have read about us on our about page. Our website address is: https://www.toptravelsights.com. And that’s probably all you need to know about us here. But to make sure that you know what’s going on with your data on this website, here is the privacy policy. If you browse this website, you agree to this policy and to the storing of your data.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
We collect information about visitors who comment on this site that use our Akismet anti-spam service. The information we collect includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).
Contact forms
If you submit any queries through the contact form, we will know any details you enter. We will be able to see your e-mail address if you provide it, as well as any additional information you put in there (because how else are we supposed to answer?).
Cookies
Cookies are files with small amount of data that is commonly used an anonymous unique identifier. These are sent to your browser from the website that you visit and are stored on your computer’s hard drive.
Our website uses these “cookies” to collection information and to improve our Service. You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies, and know when a cookie is being sent to your computer. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.
If you want more in-depth information about the cookies used on this website make sure to visit our Cookie Policy page.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Links to other sites
If you click on a third-party link, you will be redirected to another website. Everything outside toptravelsights.com is not operated by us so make sure you review any privacy policies of websites you visit. Also, we have no control over the content of other websites and their practises (but if something seems wrong with any of my links to third-person websites, please let us know so we can review it).
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyse the website traffic. This means that when you visit this site, a cookie stores your information like your IP address, the browser you’re using or which country you’re visiting us from. We will use this information to analyse how to improve website traffic and to know which pages are visited more often and what to improve on the website.
Newsletter
On this website, we give you the option to subscribe to our newsletter. If you do, then we might send you e-mails for marketing purposes (mostly, we will use the newsletter to inform you about our new posts). The newsletters that we send may contain tracking pixels. These pixels are embedded in the email and allow us to see how successful our online marketing campaigns are. That means that, because of these tracking pixels, we can see if you open a newsletter, at what time you open it and also on which links you click. We will not give out this information to anyone else, but we might use it to make our future newsletters better and adapt them to your interests.
Affiliate Programs
On Top Travel Sights, we engage in affiliate marketing, which is done by embedding tracking links into the website. If you click on any of these links, a cookie might be placed on your browser to track the sales, so we can get commissions later.
Clicking on a link means that we get a small commission for your purchase, at no extra cost to you. The compensation might impact how and where links appear on this site, but we would never recommend anything to you that we wouldn’t either use ourselves or recommend to our friends and family.
This site does not include all financial companies or all available financial offers.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others.
Changes to Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is effective as of 21.04.2026 and will remain in effect except with respect to any changes in its provisions in the future, which will be in effect immediately after being posted on this page.
We reserve the right to update or change our Privacy Policy at any time and you should check this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Service after we post any modifications to the Privacy Policy on this page will constitute your acknowledgement of the modifications and your consent to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.

Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:
- IP Address

This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
