Information we collect

We may receive basic technical information through hosting, analytics, security, and browser requests. This can include pages visited, approximate device and browser information, referring pages, and general location inferred from network data. We do not ask visitors to create accounts or submit passport, payment, hotel, or travel booking details.

The site uses Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful and where the site has technical problems. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to measure visits and usage patterns. You can control cookies through your browser settings and may use Google's available opt-out tools where applicable.

If Shanghai Scout displays Google ads or participates in Google-certified ad networks, third-party vendors, including Google, may 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 Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Third-party links

Guides link to official sources, ticketing platforms, map providers, payment providers, museum websites, and other travel resources. Those websites have their own privacy practices. Shanghai Scout does not control those third-party sites.
