2. Hosting & Server Log Files
This website is hosted on a web server. When you access any page, the web server automatically records certain technical data in log files. This includes your IP address (anonymised or in full, depending on server configuration), date and time of the request, the URL accessed, the HTTP status code, the amount of data transferred, and the referring URL and browser user agent where transmitted by your browser.
This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a stable and secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log files are retained for a limited period (typically 7–30 days) and then deleted or anonymised.
3. Google Fonts
This site uses Google Fonts (Cormorant Garamond and DM Sans) loaded from Google's servers. When a page is loaded, your browser establishes a connection to Google's servers, which may transmit your IP address. We use the fonts to ensure a consistent and readable visual presentation. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a professional site appearance (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
4. Cookies & Tracking
LanzaroteFerries.com does not set any tracking or analytics cookies of its own. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar first-party tracking tools. Our booking partner (see section 5 below) may set its own cookies when you interact with it; please refer to that provider's privacy policy.
5. Affiliate Links – DirectFerries
Ferry booking links on this site lead to DirectFerries (Direct Ferries Ltd, registered in England and Wales), which operates the booking engine and processes payment and booking data independently. When you click a booking link, a redirect to the DirectFerries platform occurs. DirectFerries and its affiliate network may set cookies to track the referral and attribute any resulting commission. We do not receive your payment or personal booking details.
Please review the DirectFerries Privacy Policy.
6. Ferry Search Function
When you use the live ferry search on this site, your search parameters (route, date, passenger count, vehicle type) are forwarded to the DirectFerries API via a server-side proxy on our web server. Your IP address is temporarily processed on our server in order to forward the request; it is not stored beyond the normal server log retention described in section 2. The results are displayed directly on this site; the actual booking takes place on DirectFerries' platform.
