Privacy Policy

A short, plain description of what this site collects and what happens when you click an affiliate link.

Last updated August 2026

What this policy covers

This policy explains how The Modern Rutter handles information when you read the site or contact us. It applies to this website only, not to the travel brands and operators we link to.

Information you give us

If you send us a message through the contact form, we receive the name, email address, topic, and message you provide. We use it only to respond to you and, where relevant, to correct a published page.

We do not sell your information, and we do not add contact-form submissions to a marketing list.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure processes standard technical request data such as IP address, browser type, referring page, and requested URL in order to serve pages and protect the site.

We may use privacy-respecting aggregate analytics to understand which pages are useful. Aggregate analytics are used for editorial decisions, not for profiling individuals.

Affiliate links and outbound clicks

Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links. When you follow one, the brand or its affiliate network may record the click and set a cookie in order to attribute a resulting booking or purchase to us.

That process is controlled by the brand and its network, under their own privacy policies. We pass only campaign identifiers that tell us which page and placement a click came from. We never pass your personal details.

Cookies

We keep our own cookie use to the minimum needed to operate the site. Affiliate networks and brands you click through to may set their own cookies, which you can control through your browser settings.

Third parties

We use service providers for hosting, content delivery, brand logo imagery, and affiliate tracking. These providers process data on our behalf to deliver the site.

Your choices

You can browse the site without giving us any personal information. If you have contacted us and want your message and details deleted, ask us and we will remove them.

Children

This site is intended for a general adult travel audience and is not directed at children.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page if our practices change, and the last updated date below will change with it.
