Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, web servers and site services may automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, pages visited, timestamps and similar diagnostic data. This information may be used for security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, audience measurement and site performance.

Cookies and similar technologies

Passion for History and services used by the site may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies. These can support essential site functions, remember preferences, measure site usage, prevent abuse and, where advertising or affiliate services are enabled, help measure or personalize those services.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies or similar technologies should be used subject to the appropriate consent choices. You can also control many cookies through your browser settings, although disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.

Analytics and performance

We may use analytics or performance services to understand how visitors use the site, which pages are useful, how visitors arrive at the site and where technical problems occur. Depending on the service and your location, these providers may process technical identifiers and usage data under their own privacy terms.

Advertising

Passion for History may display advertising. If advertising services are enabled, advertising partners may use cookies or other identifiers to deliver, limit, measure or personalize ads, subject to applicable consent and privacy requirements. The specific technologies used can change as advertising services are added, removed or reconfigured.

Affiliate links

Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you follow an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase or booking, Passion for History may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate platforms may use tracking parameters, cookies or similar technologies to attribute referrals. Where applicable, affiliate relationships will be disclosed on the relevant page or elsewhere on the site.

Embedded content and external links

Articles may contain videos, maps, social posts, images or other content embedded from third-party websites. Embedded content can behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Those providers may collect information, set cookies or track interactions according to their own policies.

We also link to external websites for sources, museums, archives, books, products and other resources. Passion for History does not control the privacy practices of those websites.

Service providers and data sharing

Information may be processed by companies that provide hosting, security, spam protection, analytics, form delivery, advertising, affiliate tracking or other services needed to operate the site. We do not sell personal information to advertisers. Third-party providers process information according to their own terms and, where applicable, contractual obligations.

Data retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for site security and administration, or to meet applicable legal obligations. Different categories of information can have different retention periods.

To make a privacy-related request, use the Contact page and provide enough information for us to understand the request. We may need to verify your identity before acting on certain requests.

International processing

Web hosting and third-party services can process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, providers are expected to use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
