Disclaimers:
Bots from search engines or other entities may collect information from our site (without the express permission of CM TRAVEL). Web page visitor information collected by bots may be used for advertising, marketing, or for other unknown purposes. Such bot-collected information could be shared with others without the prior consent of CM TRAVEL. This type of activity is a common quasi-legal online practice which can be used to access nearly any commercial web site. Please note most online travel agencies competing with CM TRAVEL, and all large travel companies like airlines, cruise lines, tour companies, car rental companies and hotel chains… all commonly use bots to track visits to other online travel sites. In addition, large travel resellers like Expedia and PriceLine not only track client visits to other web sites, they also track visits to other sites by anyone who just visits their web site. Nearly all of these companies store the tracking information they collect in long term memory… both for internal use by affiliated companies, and for resale to online marketers. CM TRAVEL is one of the very few online travel companies that does not track consumer visits to other sites, and does not share any information we may collect with any online marketer nor any other companies.email Information Collected:
