Privacy policy
Last updated: 19 October 2026
This policy explains how Guide me to UK, the website at https://guidemeto.co.uk/, handles personal information and cookies. It applies to the guides, the contact email, and the advertising and measurement tools we use on the site.
1. Who we are
The site is operated as Guide me to UK. For privacy questions, email info@guidemeto.co.uk or use the contact page. We are the controller for the information you send to us directly, such as an email. Google acts under its own policies for the advertising and analytics services described below.
2. Information we collect
- The contents of emails you send us, including your email address and anything you choose to include.
- Technical data that server logs normally record, such as browser type and IP address, used to keep the site secure and working.
- Cookie and similar-technology data described in the cookies section, where you have allowed analytics or advertising cookies, or where a cookie is strictly necessary.
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not run a booking form. Please do not send payment card numbers or identity documents.
3. How we use information
- To reply to messages and corrections.
- To operate, secure and fix the website.
- To measure visits, where you allow analytics cookies.
- To show and measure advertising, where you allow advertising cookies.
The legal bases we rely on, where UK data protection law applies, are your consent for non-essential cookies, and our legitimate interest in answering email and keeping the site secure. You can withdraw cookie consent at any time. That does not affect the lawfulness of processing already carried out.
4. Cookies and your choices
Essential cookies and similar storage are limited to what the site needs to remember this choice and to stay secure. Analytics and advertising cookies are off until you choose Accept on the cookie notice. Essential only, or Reject, leaves them off.
You can change your mind at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer. You can also block cookies in your browser. If you block all cookies, the notice may appear on later visits because the site cannot store the refusal.
We use Google Analytics to understand which guides are read, and Google AdSense to show ads. Both stay in a denied state for advertising and analytics storage unless you accept.
5. Google advertising cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info and, for visitors in the UK and Europe, www.youronlinechoices.com.
More detail on how Google uses information from sites that use its services is in Google's partner-sites explanation and in Google's privacy policy. Advertising cookies are covered in Google's advertising technologies policy.
6. Other websites
Guides link to tourism bodies, railway planners and attractions. If you follow a link, that site's privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for those sites.
7. Sharing, retention and security
We do not sell email you send us. Service providers who host the site, and Google when you have allowed ads or analytics, process information for those purposes. We may disclose information if the law requires it. Emails are kept long enough to handle the request and any follow-up, then deleted when we no longer need them. No online service is perfectly secure.
8. Your rights
If UK GDPR applies, you can ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, restrict or object to certain uses, and complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. Email the contact address to make a request. We may need to confirm you control the email address you are writing from.
9. Children
The guides are written for a general audience planning a trip. We do not knowingly collect information from children through the site. If you believe a child has emailed us personal information that should be deleted, contact us.
10. Changes
We will post changes on this page and update the date at the top. If you have accepted cookies, a material change to advertising is a reason to review your choice through Cookie settings.
Guide me to UK is an independent information site. We do not own hotels or take bookings. Fares, opening hours and timetables change, so confirm them before you travel. Reviewed October 2026.
