- Newsletter sign-ups, if you choose to join: your email address and the cities you are interested in.
- Usage data: pages visited, device type, approximate location (town or region) and how you arrived, collected through Google Analytics only if you agree to analytics cookies.
- Advertising data: if we show adverts from Google or other partners, they may use cookies to measure and, with your consent, personalise adverts.
Why we use it (lawful bases)

Who we share it with
We use trusted providers to run the site: Hostinger (web hosting, UK and EU data centres), Google (Analytics, Search Console and, later, advertising) and our email newsletter provider. Some providers may process data outside the UK; where they do, they use safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or adequacy regulations. We never sell your personal information.
