Our Big World Journal is a travel journal that shares first-hand family travel experiences, photographs, and planning notes. We do not offer accounts, a newsletter, comments, or a contact form.
Advertising, analytics, and cookies
When Google AdSense is activated on this site, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, and similar technologies to show and measure ads, limit how often an ad appears, detect fraud, and, where permitted, personalise advertising. These technologies may collect information such as browser and device information, approximate location derived from an IP address, pages viewed, and interactions with ads.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site, such as the pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, device and browser information, and the sources that referred visitors here. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies for this measurement.
Visitors can manage advertising personalisation through Google's My Ad Center and can manage or delete cookies through their browser settings. Where required by law, we will show a consent notice before non-essential advertising or analytics technologies are used. Visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland may be asked to make consent choices through a Google-certified consent management platform.
How information is used and shared
We do not sell personal information. Information collected through advertising and analytics technologies is used by Google and its partners under their own policies to deliver, measure, improve advertising, and provide analytics. Please review Google's Privacy Policy for details about Google's handling of data.
US state privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to know about, access, correct, delete, or opt out of certain processing of personal information. Where available, use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link provided through our privacy message to opt out of the sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising uses covered by applicable US state laws. To make another privacy request, email ourbigworldjournal@gmail.com. We may need to verify a request before responding.
Third-party links
Our articles link to hotels, restaurants, tour operators, transport providers, and other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

This website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our advertising, analytics, affiliate, or site features change. The date at the top of this page identifies the latest version.
