Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters
Last Updated: June 19, 2026
At Weltfox, accessible from www.weltfox.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Weltfox and how we use it.
If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at info@weltfox.com.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Voluntary Information: If you contact us directly or subscribe to our newsletter, we may receive information such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
- Comment Information: If you leave a comment on a story, we may collect the name you provide, your optional email address, the comment text, and the time the comment was submitted. Email addresses are used for moderation only and are not published on the website.
- Rating and Reaction Information: If you rate a post or react to a comment, we may store your rating or reaction with an anonymous browser key so the same browser can update its choice without adding repeated votes.
- Automatic Information (Log Files): Like most websites, we follow a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, and referring/exit pages.
2. Cookies and Web Beacons
Weltfox uses "cookies" to store information about visitors' preferences and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.
You can choose whether WeltFox may use analytics and marketing storage. Necessary browser storage may still be used for core features such as comments, spam protection, and remembering your cookie choice.
3. Comments and Spam Protection
Weltfox may use Cloudflare Turnstile to help protect comment forms from spam and abuse. Comments are reviewed before publication, and we may remove comments that are spam, offensive, irrelevant, or unsafe.
4. Affiliate and Third-Party Links
WeltFox contains external links and may use affiliate links or click-to-load widgets from third-party travel and technology providers. These may include GetYourGuide, Travelpayouts and merchants available through its network, Saily, and NordVPN.
- When you click an external or affiliate link, the destination website may receive your IP address, browser and device information, referring page, and an affiliate or campaign identifier. It may also use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies under its own policies.
- Click-to-load widgets do not load their third-party script until you choose to open them. Once loaded, the provider may collect technical and interaction data as if you had visited or embedded its service directly.
- WeltFox does not control third-party websites, payment systems, cookies, data retention, or privacy practices and is not responsible for their privacy statements or handling of data.
- Review the privacy policy and cookie choices of each third-party service before submitting personal information, creating an account, or completing a purchase.
Affiliate tracking may be used to attribute a booking or purchase to WeltFox. More information about these commercial relationships is available in our Affiliate Disclosure.
5. Google DoubleClick DART Cookie
Google is one of a third-party vendor on our site. It also uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to www.weltfox.com and other sites on the internet.
