Cookies & Tracking
Yes, we use cookies—but only to improve your experience. These include:
- Essential cookies for website functionality
- Analytics cookies (like Google Analytics) to see how the site is used
- Email tracking (like open rates) if you subscribe to our newsletter
You can disable cookies anytime in your browser settings. By using our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Privacy Policy.
Advertising
Bucket List Seekers works with third-party advertising companies to display ads on our website. These companies may use cookies to serve ads based on your past visits to this site. This helps them and their partners deliver relevant ads to you, both on our site and across the internet.
Affiliate Marketing
We participate in affiliate marketing, which means we may include special links to products and services we recommend. When you click on these affiliate links, a tracking cookie is placed on your browser. This allows us to earn a commission if you make a purchase through those links—at no extra cost to you!
Links to External Websites
At times, Bucket List Seekers may include links to other websites for your benefit. However, we are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies when visiting those sites.
Sales and Payment Information
When you purchase digital products from Bucket List Seekers, we collect the necessary payment information (like your billing address and payment details) to process the transaction. We use trusted third-party payment processors (such as PayPal, Stripe, or others) to handle your payments. These processors are responsible for keeping your payment information secure and private. We do not store your credit card or sensitive payment details on our website.
Digital Product Delivery
After completing your purchase, the digital product will be delivered to you electronically (usually via email or a downloadable link). You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary software or devices to access and use the digital product.
Refund Policy
Since the digital products we sell (such as travel guides, planners, and e-books) are downloadable and non-tangible, we generally do not offer refunds once a purchase is completed. However, if you experience issues accessing your product, please contact us at [email protected] for assistance. We want to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase.
