SimpleChinaTripBooking guide for foreign visitors

Privacy

Cookie-free statistics, and only what reminders need.

This is an independent travel guide. We collect as little as we can, and never sell data.

Visit statistics

To see which guides help people, we count visits in two cookie-free ways:

Automated browsers and known bots are not counted.

Ticket-release reminders

If you ask for a reminder we store your email address, the attraction, your visit date, party size, time zone, country and the date of the request, plus a one-way, salted hash of your IP address (never the address itself), which we use only to spot spam and abuse. We use the request only to remind you about that visit. We do not send newsletters or share the address. Requests, including that hash, are deleted automatically about 30 days after the visit date.

Calendar reminders

“Add to Calendar” creates a calendar file for the date you pick; we don’t store the date or anything else from it. We only count that a calendar reminder was added (attraction, calendar type, days ahead) as part of the visit statistics above. If you choose Google Calendar, the event details travel to Google in the link and Google’s privacy policy applies.

Remove your reminder

Feedback

When you answer “Did this booking path work for you?” we store your answer, any note you choose to write, the page, your country and device type, plus the same kind of one-way IP hash, used only to spot spam and abuse.

Abuse protection

To stop spam, form submissions are counted against a hashed form of your IP address; these counters expire after about an hour. The IP hashes saved with reminder requests and feedback (described above) stay with that record. We never store your IP address itself.

WhatsApp

The “Message on WhatsApp” buttons go through a short link on this site (/api/wa) and then open WhatsApp. We count that click like the other visit statistics above (page, button position, country, device type) — we do not learn your phone number from the click. If you then send a message, WhatsApp (Meta) carries it under WhatsApp’s privacy policy, and I see your WhatsApp name, number and what you send. I use that only to reply to you, and never add you to lists or groups.
