Privacy Policy
Icelandic Travel Tips is a small local travel blog. We collect as little personal information as possible, and we use analytics mainly to see which guides are useful to readers.
Last updated: May 27, 2026
The short version
We do not sell personal data. We do not run user accounts on the public travel blog. We use cookies and third-party tools for basic site operation, analytics, affiliate links, advertising, and embedded travel widgets.
If you contact us by email, we use your message only to reply to you. If you click a booking, rental, tour, ad, or support link, the relevant third-party service may process data under its own policy.
Who we are
This website is Icelandic Travel Tips, available at icelandictraveltips.is. The site publishes practical Iceland travel guides, games, planning tools, and local recommendations.
Information we collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Analytics data: pages visited, approximate location, device type, browser, referral source, and similar usage data.
- Cookie consent: your cookie choice is stored in your browser so the banner does not keep appearing.
- Contact messages: if you email us, we receive your email address and whatever information you include in the message.
- Game and article counters: we may count article views, game plays, completions, and clicks in aggregate so we can see what people actually use.
Cookies and consent
The site uses a cookie banner with three practical categories: necessary, statistics, and marketing. Necessary storage keeps the site working and remembers your consent choice. Statistics helps us understand which articles and tools are useful. Marketing can be used for advertising, affiliate measurement, and booking-related widgets.
Google Consent Mode is set to deny optional analytics and advertising storage by default until you make a choice. You can change your choice by clearing site data for Icelandic Travel Tips in your browser.
Analytics and tags
We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to understand general traffic patterns: which guides are read, which pages need work, how visitors find the site, and whether the site is working properly on mobile and desktop.
We do not use analytics to identify individual readers. Analytics providers may process technical data such as IP address, browser, device, and approximate location.
Affiliate links, ads, and widgets
Some pages include affiliate links, sponsor links, ads, and booking widgets such as car rental or tour links. If you click those links or use those widgets, the third-party service may receive information about your visit and may set its own cookies.
Affiliate links may earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you. That helps keep the guides free. We still try to keep recommendations practical and honest rather than turning every page into an advert.
External links
Icelandic Travel Tips links to outside websites for maps, official information, sources, tours, rentals, recipes, and travel services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the other website applies.
How long we keep information
Analytics and aggregate counters may be kept for reporting and site improvement. Email messages may be kept as long as needed to answer the question or handle the request. We do not maintain public reader accounts on the blog.

Plain-language promise
The goal of this site is to help people travel Iceland better, not to collect more data than we need. When we add new tools, games, or planning features, privacy should stay simple: explain what is being measured, keep it useful, and avoid collecting personal details unless there is a clear reason.
