Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2025. This policy explains how Railero.com handles data when you use our website.
What data we collect
Railero.com does not collect, store, or process any personally identifiable information (PII) directly. We do not operate user accounts, require registration, or capture names, email addresses, or payment details on our own servers.
When you visit Railero.com, your browser may transmit standard technical information to our hosting provider (such as your IP address, browser type, and referring URL). This data is handled by our infrastructure provider and is not linked to your identity.
Analytics
We use third-party analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our content - for example, which route guides are most read, or how long visitors spend on the interactive map pages. These tools may set functional cookies to distinguish unique sessions.
Analytics data is aggregated and anonymous. It tells us "100 people read the London–Paris guide today" - not who those people are. We do not sell or share analytics data with third parties.
Cookies
Railero.com uses two categories of cookies:
Functional cookies
Set by our infrastructure and analytics tools to enable core site features and measure performance. These are session-based and expire when you close your browser.
Affiliate tracking cookies
Set by our booking partners (Trainline, Booking.com, Travelpayouts) when you click an affiliate link. These cookies attribute any commission we earn if you complete a booking. They are set on the partner's domain, not on Railero.com, and are governed by each partner's own privacy policy.
Affiliate partners & third-party links
Railero.com contains links to third-party booking platforms including Trainline, Booking.com, and Travelpayouts. When you follow one of these links, you leave Railero.com and are subject to the privacy policy of the destination site.
Our affiliate partners use secure tracking cookies to attribute commissions to Railero when a qualifying booking is completed. This mechanism is standard practice across the travel industry and does not result in Railero receiving any of your personal or payment information.
We only recommend partners we consider reputable. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content - route guides, cabin comparisons, and hotel selections reflect our honest assessment.
Your rights
Because Railero.com does not hold personal data about you, there is typically nothing for us to access, correct, or delete on your behalf. If you have questions about data held by our third-party partners, please contact those services directly.
For any privacy-related questions about Railero.com specifically, contact us at hello@railero.com.
