Privacy policy.

What is collected

The Egypt Guide is a non-commercial editorial archive. The site does not run advertising trackers, marketing pixels, behavioural analytics or any third-party identification cookies. No reader profile is built or sold.

Server logs

For routine operational stability and basic protection against network attacks, the web server temporarily records standard connection data: IP address, browser identifier, requested page, timestamp. These records are anonymised within thirty days and then removed automatically.

The correspondence form

When a reader submits a letter through the Contact page, the contents (name, email, subject, body) are forwarded as a standard email to the editor's inbox. The submission is not stored in any database connected to the website, and is used only to compose a reply.

Cookies

No persistent cookies are used to identify readers. The site sets no first-party tracking cookies; it does not engage with third-party cookies for advertising or analytics.

Fonts

The typography of the site is served by Google Fonts. When loading a page, your browser establishes a connection to Google's font CDN, which transmits the browser's IP address. This is a long-standing practice for most contemporary websites; browser extensions that block such requests will work normally on the rest of the page.

Reader rights

Any reader who has corresponded with the editor may request deletion of their correspondence at any time. Such requests are honoured immediately.
