Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting platform, WordPress installation, analytics tools, security services, advertising providers, and other technical services may automatically process information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location, and timestamps.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The site and third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, advertising, fraud prevention, affiliate attribution, and remembering preferences. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some site features may not function as intended afterward.
Advertising
If advertising is enabled on the site, third-party advertising providers such as Google may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure, and personalize ads as permitted by their policies and your available consent choices.

Some links on the site may be affiliate links. When you click one, the merchant or affiliate network may receive information needed to attribute a qualifying purchase or booking to The Best of Athens. Please review our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.
External Websites
Our guides link to restaurants, hotels, attractions, merchants, ticketing services, booking platforms, and other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.
