Information we collect
The Cruise Atlas does not process payments or user accounts. If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address and message.
Email newsletter
If a newsletter or downloadable planner is offered, the signup form will explain which email provider is used and how to unsubscribe. We do not sell email addresses.
Affiliate links and widgets
Some links may be affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners including Amazon, Awin, Viator, Holiday Extras and Expedia Group may use tracking technologies, and their own privacy policies will apply.
Some cruise port pages include an Expedia Group search widget for hotels and flights. That widget loads from Expedia Group and may process interaction or tracking information according to Expedia Group's own terms and privacy policy.
Analytics, cookies and advertising
The site loads Google Analytics (GA4) through the Google tag to measure website usage. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies and process information about visits. The site also contains affiliate links and may load third-party partner widgets; these services can have their own tracking practices. We are preparing to use Google AdSense to display advertising. If advertising is enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure and, where permitted, personalise ads. We will provide the required consent choices before activating advertising that requires consent, including a Google-certified consent management platform where applicable in the UK and Europe. At present, we have not verified that a site-wide consent preference control is active. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. We are reviewing consent controls for analytics and advertising before enabling personalised advertising. Until advertising and consent controls are activated, this policy should not be interpreted as confirmation that personalised Google ads are running. Read Google's explanation at How Google uses information for advertising.
