WonderQuest does not have user accounts, comment sections, or contact forms. We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number unless you voluntarily reach out to us via email.

- Plausible Analytics — does not use cookies. All analytics are cookie-free and anonymized.
- Affiliate Links — when you click an affiliate link (e.g., eSIM providers, VPN services), the destination site may set its own cookies. These are governed by the respective third party's privacy policy.
