Overview
Farlands ("we," "us," "our") publishes editorial travel writing about Mongolia, Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan, Kamchatka, and New Zealand. This Privacy Policy explains what limited information is collected when you visit this site and how it is used.
Information We Collect
Farlands does not require an account, and we do not knowingly collect names, postal addresses, or payment details from visitors. The site does collect the following automatically, through the tools described below:
Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — pages viewed, time on page, general location (city/country level), device and browser type, and referring site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to do this. You can learn how Google handles this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising. Some pages display banner advertisements served through a third-party ad network. Loading these ads may set cookies or use similar identifiers in your browser, and may involve your browser requesting content directly from the ad provider's servers. We do not control the cookies set by third-party advertising partners; please refer to your browser settings to manage or block them.
Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider (GitHub Pages) may log standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, and request timestamps for security and reliability purposes.
Cookies
Cookies used on this site fall into two categories: analytics cookies (Google Analytics) and advertising cookies (our ad partner). You can disable cookies entirely through your browser settings; doing so may affect how ads and analytics behave but will not prevent you from reading the site's content.
Third-Party Links
Articles on this site may link to external websites, tour operators, accommodation providers, or other third-party resources. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external sites, and we encourage you to review their own policies before sharing information with them.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
