ANONYMOUS WEBSITE MEASUREMENT

Avant-Garde Travel counts website visits and inquiries anonymously, so we can tell which advertising and pages actually bring in customers. This measurement is separate from any cookies or third-party tools our website uses (those are described under “Web Browser Cookies” in this policy), and it works the same whatever you choose about them. This counting:

  • uses no cookies or other storage on your device;
  • is collected by this website itself and sent from our web server to analytics hosted by our web provider, Explore Digital, which acts as our service provider and may use the data only to give us this report;
  • records only the page you viewed (its address and title) and when, how you got here (for example, “Google Ads”, an advertising campaign tag, or the address of the page on another website that linked here, without its query string), your device and browser type and language setting, your country, and whether you clicked or tapped a phone number or email link on the website, or submitted one of our forms (the form’s name, not what you entered);
  • never records what you type into a form, your name, email address, phone number, street address or order number;
  • does not send your IP address to our analytics or store it there (only your country is recorded), discards advertising click identifiers, and groups each day’s page views with a visit code that our web server makes from your IP address and browser details using a secret key that is replaced every day, so a visit is not linked to your identity or to your visits on other days;
  • is never sold or shared, never used to target advertising, and never combined with other information about you.

We keep this information in de-identified form. We will not attempt to re-identify it, and we contractually require our service provider not to re-identify it either. Detailed visit records are deleted after 90 days. We keep only overall totals, and those are deleted 25 months after the period they cover. Because this information can’t be linked to you, we can’t locate it to respond to a request to access or delete your data. For the same reason, we count visits even if you decline cookies in a cookie notice on this website or your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal: this information is not sold or shared, so there is nothing to opt out of. We do not count visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, or visits whose country we can’t determine.

This section is effective as of November 9, 2026.
