Privacy Policy
What we collect, how analytics and consent work, and how we handle third-party links.
This policy covers totallyathensonline.com ("Totally Athens," "we," "us"). It explains the limited analytics data used to understand the site, how the cookie notice works, and how external links are handled. Totally Athens is currently not monetised: the live site does not publish affiliate links, referral widgets or advertising-partner links.
What we collect
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used — for example, which pages are read, approximate geographic and device information, and browser type. We do not ask visitors to create an account, and we do not collect names, email addresses or payment details through this site directly.
Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies. For visitors our static-site heuristic identifies as likely to be in Europe, analytics storage defaults to denied until the visitor chooses the analytics option in the cookie notice. The site does not need analytics cookies in order to be read.
Cookies
The site currently uses cookies for analytics. While monetisation is off, our consent configuration keeps advertising storage, advertising user data and advertising personalisation signals denied.
If you follow a link from Totally Athens to another website, that destination may use its own cookies or tracking technologies. Those are controlled by the destination site and are covered by its own privacy policy, not this one.
Our location check for the cookie notice is a lightweight browser-timezone heuristic rather than precise geolocation. It can therefore be imperfect, including when a visitor uses a VPN or a device timezone that does not match their physical location.
Monetisation and affiliate status
Monetisation is currently switched off on Totally Athens. The live site does not currently publish Wise, Amazon, Hotels.com, Expedia or other affiliate/referral links or partner search widgets, and we do not currently earn commissions from links published on the site. If that changes, we will update the site disclosures and this policy before activating those links or widgets.
Other third-party links
Throughout the site we link to official resources and other useful external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of sites we do not operate. Check the destination site's own privacy information if that matters to you.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your personal data.
- We don't require an account or login to read this site.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to personal data and analytics identifiers.
