Who we are

Mini Travel Guides is a family travel blog that shares practical travel tips and destination advice for readers worldwide. We value your privacy and strive to be transparent about the data we collect and how it’s used.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year.
We also use cookies to support Matomo Analytics, which collects anonymous usage data to help us improve the site. These analytics cookies do not collect personal information and are never shared with third parties.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Analytics
We use Matomo, a privacy-focused analytics platform that runs on our own server.
Matomo tracks anonymized visitor behavior such as page views, time on site, and general device/browser info. It does not store or share personally identifiable information. Your IP address is anonymized and never used for advertising.
No data is shared with external companies.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, maps, or social media posts). Embedded content behaves just like visiting those third-party sites directly.
These websites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content if you’re logged in to their services.
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.
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 your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
