Privacy policy
What we collect and why
The short version: we collect the minimum needed to run the site, we do not sell your personal information, we ask before setting non-essential cookies, and Amazon and Google each handle their own data when you click our links.

Information we collect
Information you provide
If you contact us, we collect the name, email address and message content you choose to send. We use this only to respond to you.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages and the pages you view. We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which content is useful in aggregate, not to identify individual visitors.
Cookies and consent
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember your preferences and measure aggregate traffic. On your first visit we show a consent banner asking whether you accept or reject non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies are only set once you have made a choice, and rejecting them does not stop you from reading anything on this site.
Your choice is stored in your browser’s local storage. To change or withdraw it at any time, clear your browser’s site data for seatwisereview.com and the banner will appear again.
Strictly necessary cookies are not optional, because the site cannot function without them, so we do not ask for consent to those. You can disable or delete any cookie in your browser settings; the site will still work, though some features may not.
Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland: we rely on consent for advertising cookies. Until you accept, ads shown to you are non-personalised.
Third-party services
Amazon
We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an Amazon link, Amazon sets its own cookies to attribute the referral. Amazon’s use of your data is governed by the Amazon Privacy Notice, not this policy.
Google AdSense
This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. To show you ads, Google and its partners (including DoubleClick) use cookies and similar identifiers that can recognise your browser across websites. This allows Google to decide whether to show you a personalised ad, based on sites you have visited before.
How to control Google advertising
Google Privacy Policy How Google collects, uses and shares data across all its services. | Google Ads Settings Turn ad personalisation on or off for your Google account. |
Ad personalisation settings Control the ad topics and categories Google associates with you. | Your Online Choices Opt out of interest-based advertising from many participating European ad networks. |
Google may still show non-personalised ads to you. These use only broad context such as your approximate location and the page you are reading, not a profile of you. You can also reset your advertising identifier in your device settings.
Analytics
We use web analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. Where possible we configure analytics in a privacy-respecting way and do not use it to identify individual visitors.
Affiliate links and outbound links
Our site contains affiliate links to retailers, primarily Amazon.com. When you click these, the retailer may record that you arrived from our site for commission attribution purposes. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of third-party websites.
How we use your information
- To respond to messages you send us
- To operate, secure and improve the site
- To understand which content is useful in aggregate
- To serve advertising, once you have consented
We do not sell your personal information.
Data retention
Contact messages are retained only as long as needed to handle your enquiry. Analytics data is retained in aggregate, anonymised form. Advertising cookies expire on a schedule set by Google.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. To make a request, email support@seatwisereview.com.
For visitors in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, the legal bases we rely on are legitimate interest (site operation and security) and consent (cookies and advertising). You can withdraw consent at any time through the consent banner or your browser settings.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
