Privacy Policy
ktrip.guide ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website ktrip.guide (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service.
Information We Collect
We collect limited data to improve the Service. This includes:
- Usage data: Pages visited, time on site, referral source — collected anonymously via Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity. IP addresses are anonymised.
- Language preference: Stored locally in your browser's localStorage. Never sent to our servers.
- No account required: We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information unless you explicitly contact us.
Analytics & Tracking
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site. GA4 collects anonymised data including pages viewed and general location (country/city level). IP anonymisation is enabled. You can opt out via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve and market our products/services. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity. Additionally, we use this information for site optimization, fraud/security purposes, and advertising. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Advertising
We may use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our Website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

- Google Analytics cookies (anonymised, for usage tracking)
- No advertising or tracking cookies are used beyond GA4
