Tom's Guide to Paris

Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This page explains what information this site collects when you visit it, and what choices you have about that.

Who runs this site. Tom's Guide to Paris is a personal, non-commercial website written and maintained by Thomas DiPiero. It is not affiliated with any business or organization.

What we collect. This site uses Google Analytics to understand how many people visit, which pages are popular, and generally how the site is used. Google Analytics does this using cookies — small files stored in your browser — which can collect information such as:

• Pages you visit on this site and how long you spend on them
• The general type of device and browser you're using
• An approximate, non-precise geographic location (such as country or city), based on your IP address

This information is anonymized and aggregated by Google. This site does not collect your name, email address, or any other personally identifying information unless you choose to provide it directly (for example, by emailing the site owner).

Cookie consent. When you first visit this site, you'll see a banner asking whether you're OK with these analytics cookies. Google Analytics will not run until you click "Accept." If you click "Decline," no analytics cookies are set, and no data is sent to Google Analytics. Your choice is remembered for future visits on the same browser and device.

You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's local storage/cookies for this site, which will bring the banner back on your next visit.

Third parties. Analytics data collected through this site is processed by Google, under Google's own Privacy Policy and Data Processing Terms. This site does not sell or share your data with any other third party.

Your rights. If you're located in the European Union, the UK, or another region with similar data protection laws, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete data collected about you. Because this site's analytics data is anonymized and aggregated, there is generally no individually identifiable data to provide — but if you have questions or concerns, you're welcome to reach out using the contact information on this site.

Changes to this policy. This policy may be updated from time to time if the site's use of cookies or analytics changes. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
