Privacy Policy

Who we are

Totally Antalya (totallyantalya.com) is an independent travel guide to Antalya, Turkey and the surrounding Turquoise Coast. This policy explains what information we collect from visitors, how affiliate links on the site work, and what choices you have.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (via Google's gtag.js) to understand how visitors use this site — which pages are popular, roughly how people arrive here, and general usage patterns. This helps us decide which guides to write next and which to improve. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information, which may include your approximate location (typically city or region level, derived from IP address), device and browser type, and the pages you visit on this site.

We do not use this data to identify you personally, and we don't sell or share it with anyone beyond Google's own role as our analytics provider. See Google's Privacy Policy for how Google handles this data.

For visitors in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland, analytics cookies are set to "denied" by default until you actively accept them via the cookie banner shown on your first visit. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site and reloading the page, which will show the banner again. Visitors outside these regions may not see the banner, but the same underlying analytics described above still applies.

We don't use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies of our own. Third-party affiliate links (below) may set their own cookies once you click through to their sites — that's governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.

Affiliate links & how we make money

Totally Antalya is free to read and supported in part by affiliate links — when you click certain links on this site and go on to sign up or make a purchase, we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. This is one of the ways the site funds itself so we can keep writing and updating guides.

We only link to services in this way that we genuinely use ourselves when travelling. Affiliate relationships never influence which hotels, restaurants or attractions we recommend in our editorial guides — see our About page for more on that separation. Currently, our affiliate partners are:

Wise — a multi-currency travel card and money transfer service. Referral link.
Amazon — as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through our Amazon links. Example link.
Hotels.com (part of Expedia Group) — accommodation search and booking. Affiliate link.
Expedia — flight search and booking. Affiliate link.

Search widgets from Expedia Group (covering both flights and accommodation) appear on many pages of this site and are provided directly by Expedia Group's own widget script, loaded from their servers — your interaction with those widgets is subject to Expedia Group's own privacy policy, not just ours.

Other data we collect

If you email us (via the addresses on our Contact page), we'll have whatever information you choose to include in that message. We only use it to respond to you and, where relevant, to correct or improve the guides. We don't add your email to any marketing list.

Children's privacy

This site is a general-audience travel guide and isn't directed at children. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes — for example, if we add or remove an affiliate partner, or change analytics providers. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
