Privacy Policy, Disclosure
& Cookies
1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy
This website, allthewaysyouwander.com, is a personal travel and photography platform operated by Neil Arthurs ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling any data we collect with transparency and care.
This privacy policy sets out how we use and protect any information that is collected when you use this website.
Any data collected is automated and processed in the background. We do not actively collect personal data beyond what you voluntarily provide — for example, when you submit a booking enquiry or subscribe to our newsletter.
It is possible to browse the website without providing any personal details. However, certain features — such as the newsletter — require your consent to function.
2. Information We Collect
Newsletter Subscription. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. Newsletters may contain tracking pixels, which allow us to see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. This helps us tailor future content to what you find most useful. This data is not passed on to third parties.
Automatically Collected Information. When you visit the website, we automatically log certain information about your device and visit, including your IP address, operating system type, browser type, referring website, pages viewed, and the dates and times of access. We may also collect information about actions you take on the website, such as links clicked.
Cookies. We use cookies — small data files stored on your browser — to provide a more personalised experience. We may use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until deleted). Cookies help us store your preferences, understand which pages you visit, and ensure you are not shown the same content repeatedly. Third-party services such as Google Analytics also use cookies, as described below.
You can prevent the setting of cookies at any time through your browser settings and may delete already-set cookies through your browser or other software. However, deactivating cookies may limit some functionality of the website.

- To send administrative communications, including confirmations, technical notices, policy updates, or security alerts
- To respond to your comments, enquiries, or booking requests
- To provide user support
- To track and measure advertising and campaign performance
- To protect against unauthorised or illegal activity
4. Third-Party Services
We may share your information with third parties only when you explicitly authorise us to do so, or where a third-party service provider supports the operation of the website. Each provider's use of your information is governed by their own privacy policy.
