If you accept, we record how long you stay on a page, how far you scroll, whether the mouse moves, and the travel moods you pick. Two parties benefit: MBD Travel, and the influencer whose campaign link brought you here, because those three numbers are what show their link was actually read and their payout depends on it. Your name, e-mail and payment details are not part of this record. If you accept, experience pages also show Instagram posts; they load from Meta's servers and Meta sees your visit.
