Privacy Policy

As a visitor to this website, we recognize and respect the significance of your privacy. It is crucial for us that you have a clear understanding of how any information you choose to share will be handled.

To enhance the safeguarding of your privacy, we offer this notice detailing our online information procedures and the options you have in determining how your information is gathered and utilized. We ensure that this notice is readily accessible on our homepage and at any instance where you may be asked for personally identifiable information, making it easy for you to locate.

Comment System

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We do not collect personal information about you except for the information that you choose to provide. We may collect usage information or non-identifiable analytics on your usage of the site to understand how users in aggregate are accessing our content and to provide advertisers information to help their own insight. Personally identifiable information is not collected and will never be shared with third-party advertising companies.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained at the discretion of the website data team. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Google Analytics

Data Collection and Usage

We value your privacy and want to ensure transparency regarding the data collected when you visit our website. We employ Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze your use of the site. The information generated by these cookies, including your IP address, is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in various locations. This data is then used to evaluate your interactions with our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website usage and internet activity.

Opting Out of Google Analytics

If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can do so by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This add-on prevents Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about your activity on our website.

Demographic and Interest Reporting

In addition to standard Google Analytics implementation, we have enabled Demographic and Interest Reporting. This feature allows Google Analytics to collect data about your age, gender, and interests. This information is collected anonymously and cannot be linked to any personally identifiable information. It is used to better understand our audience and tailor our content to your preferences.

Sharing of Data

We do not sell or share any personally identifiable information collected through Google Analytics with third parties. The information collected is used solely for the purpose of improving our website and understanding user behavior.

Security Measures

We take the security of your data seriously. All data transmitted to Google Analytics is encrypted and stored securely on Google’s servers. Google maintains strict security standards and regularly undergoes independent audits to ensure compliance.

Updates to this Privacy Policy

This privacy policy is subject to change as we may update our practices or incorporate new technologies. Any revisions will be reflected in the updated policy posted on this website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your privacy.
