Last updated: October 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The Azores (azores1.blogspot.com) collects, uses and protects information when you visit this blog.

Information we collect

We don't ask you to create an account. We only collect personal information you choose to give us, for example your name and email address when you send a message through the contact form or leave a comment. We use it only to reply to you and don't sell it.

Like most websites, this blog is hosted on Google's Blogger platform, which automatically collects standard log data (such as IP address, browser type and pages visited) to run and secure the service.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. This blog and its third-party partners use cookies to remember preferences, measure traffic and serve advertising.

Google AdSense and advertising

This blog uses Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
• Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland will see a consent message so they can choose how cookies are used.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics or Blogger's built-in statistics to understand how visitors use the blog. These tools use cookies and collect aggregated, non-identifying information.

Affiliate links

Some posts may contain affiliate links, for example to hotels, tours, car hire, ferries or travel products. If you click one and make a booking or purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend things we believe are useful to readers, and affiliate partners don't control what we write.

Embedded content and third-party links

Posts may include embedded videos, mixes or maps from sites such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook or Google Maps. Embedded content behaves as if you visited that site, and those sites may collect data and use cookies under their own privacy policies. We aren't responsible for the content or privacy practices of external websites.

Children's privacy

This blog is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information you've sent us. Contact us through the Contact page and we'll help.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
