This policy covers primehotelpicks.com, a small independent site run by Sushant Kumar. It is written to describe what the site actually does rather than to cover every situation a template might imagine.
The short version
- There is no account system, no newsletter and no contact form. There is nothing to sign up for.
- Nothing is sold to anyone.
- No advertising or analytics cookies are set unless you press Accept on the consent banner.
- If you email me, I keep the email so I can reply.
Advertising: current status
This site is intended to carry Google AdSense display advertising. As at the date at the top of this page, AdSense has not yet been approved for the site and no advertising code is being served. The section below describes what will happen once it is active, so that the position is clear in advance.
When advertising is enabled, the ad script is only loaded after you press Accept on the cookie banner. If you press Decline, or ignore the banner, the advertising script is never requested and no advertising cookies are set. This is enforced in the site's own code rather than being a promise in a policy.
Once active, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time through Google's Ads Settings, and you can review how Google handles data from partner sites at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Third-party vendors may also be opted out of via aboutads.info.
Cookies and local storage
The site stores one item in your browser's local storage: your answer to the cookie banner, recorded as either accepted or declined. That is what stops the banner reappearing on every page. It contains no identifier and is readable only by this site.
If you accept, advertising cookies set by Google may then be placed by the ad script. Those are described in Google's own policies linked above.
You can clear this at any time by clearing site data for primehotelpicks.com in your browser, which will make the banner appear again on your next visit.
Server logs
Like almost all websites, the hosting server records standard request logs: IP address, timestamp, the page requested, referring page and browser user agent. These are generated by the web server, are used for security and for diagnosing faults, and are not combined with anything else to identify individual visitors.
Fonts and external requests
Typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com and Google receives your IP address as part of that request. Photographs, stylesheets and scripts are served from this site's own domain.
If you write to contact@primehotelpicks.com or business@primehotelpicks.com, I keep the message and your address so I can reply and so there is a record of any correction made. Addresses are not added to any mailing list and are not shared. Ask me to delete our correspondence and I will.
What this site does not do
- No accounts, logins or passwords.
- No newsletter and no email collection forms.
- No payment processing. Nothing is sold here.
- No selling, renting or trading of personal information.
- No social media tracking pixels.
Affiliate links
Some outbound booking links may be affiliate links. Following one takes you to a third-party site which may set its own cookies to attribute the referral. That site's privacy policy governs from that point, not this one.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data held about you, and to object to processing. Given that this site holds essentially nothing beyond server logs and any email you have chosen to send, exercising these is usually straightforward. Write to contact@primehotelpicks.com.
Children
This site is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. The most likely future change is the removal of the wording noting that AdSense is not yet active, at the point it becomes active.
