Privacy and Cookie Policy

Last Updated: [October 29, 2025]

Welcome to Haunted Hotels! Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how we collect and use information when you visit our website.

1. Information We Do Not Directly Collect

We are primarily an informative website. We do not collect personal identifying information  like your name, email address, mailing address, unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., if you fill in our contact form or if we add a mailing list sign-up in the future). We do not collect your payment details.

2. Information Collected by Third Parties

To run our website and track performance, certain information is collected by third-party services:

  • Affiliate Partners: When you click an affiliate link (e.g., to buy a book), our affiliate partners (like Amazon or other retailers) may place a cookie on your browser to track the referral and credit us with a potential commission. These partners have their own separate privacy policies.
  • Analytics: We use third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics) to understand how the site is used. This collects non-personally identifiable information such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, operating system, and the pages you visit. This helps us optimize content.
  • Advertising (If Applicable): If we display ads, third-party advertisers may also use cookies to serve ads relevant to your interests.

3. Use of Information

The non-personally identifiable information collected is used solely to:

  • Maintain and improve the functionality of the website.
  • Analyse site traffic and user behaviour to improve our content.
  • Process and track sales through our affiliate links (though we only receive aggregated sales data, not your individual purchase details).

4. Our Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device. We use cookies to enhance your experience:

5. Affiliate Disclosure Reminder
