There may be an option to voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter on this website. This may be used for advertising purposes and all newsletters may contain tracking pixels. These pixels may be embedded in the emails to allow us to analyze campaigns.

Due to these pixels, you need to be aware that we can see if you open an email and which links you clicked. This allows us to adapt our newsletter content to better suit the interests of our readers. This behavior is not passed on to third parties.

Sponsored Content Tracking Pixels

This Website may engage in sponsored campaigns with various influencer networks, brands, and agencies. All sponsored content is duly disclosed in accordance with the FTC’s requirements. From time to time, these sponsored campaigns utilize tracking pixels (aka web beacons), which may contain cookies to collect data regarding usage and audience.

This information is collected by the sponsoring company to track the results of the campaign. No personally identifiable information collected by the Website is used in conjunction with these tracking pixels.

Affiliate Program Participation

AMAZON ASSOCIATES AFFILIATE PROGRAM

Hungariandreamers.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and links to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. As part of this Amazon Associates program, Hungariandreamers will post customized links, provided by Amazon, to track the referrals to their website. This program utilizes cookies to track visits for the purposes of assigning commission on these sales. When you click on the Amazon affiliate links to purchase an item, it allows us to earn a small commission, at no additional cost to you.

BOOKING.COM AFFILIATE PROGRAM

We are a participating member of the Booking .com Affiliate Program. We include accommodation recommendations in many of our travel and destination articles. These help our readers find great deals on the best places to stay for their travels. If you do click through one of our Booking.com links and proceed with an accommodation booking, we will receive a small commission made from that booking and at no extra cost to you.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

• To respond to your comments or messages;
• To provide user support if necessary;
• To track and measure advertising on this website
• To protect, investigate, and deter against the unauthorized or illegal activity.

Except when required by law, we will not sell, distribute, or reveal your personal information to third parties without your consent. However, we may disclose or transfer personal information collected through this website to third parties who acquire all or a portion of our business. This may be in the result of a merger, a purchase, aquisition, or consolidation of a part or all of our assets. This also applies with any connection with bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding brought by or against us.
