Collecting Personal Information
When you visit the Site, we collect certain information about your device, your interaction with the Site, and information necessary to process your purchases. We may also collect additional information if you contact us for customer support. In this Privacy Policy, we refer to any information about an identifiable individual (including the information below) as “Personal Information”. See the list below for more information about what Personal Information we collect and why.
Comments
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
A cookie is a small piece of data downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Site. We utilize various types of cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. These cookies enhance your browsing experience by remembering specific actions and preferences, such as login details and region selection. As a result, you won’t need to re-enter this information every time you navigate our site. Additionally, cookies provide insights into user behavior, indicating whether someone is visiting for the first time or is a regular user.
If you leave a comment on our site, you can opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This convenience ensures that the next time you comment, these fields will already be populated. These specific cookies have a lifespan of one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is generated to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded upon closing your browser.
Upon logging in, several cookies are activated to store your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days, whereas screen options cookies last a year. If you activate the “Remember Me” option, your login will be retained for two weeks. However, if you log out, these login cookies will be deleted.
Editing or publishing an article prompts the saving of an additional cookie in your browser. This cookie signifies the post ID of the modified article and expires after a day.
The duration a cookie remains on your device can vary. Session cookies persist only while browsing, but persistent cookies will stay until they either expire or are manually deleted. Most of the cookies we deploy are persistent, with expiration ranging from 30 minutes to two years post-download.
You possess the ability to manage cookies in several manners. However, be aware that deleting or blocking cookies may degrade your user experience, potentially rendering parts of our website inaccessible.
While many browsers are set to automatically accept cookies, you can adjust this via browser controls, typically found within the “Tools” or “Preferences” menus. For in-depth guidance on modifying browser settings or on managing cookies, you can consult your browser’s help section or visit https://allaboutcookies.org/
Lastly, it’s crucial to recognize that merely blocking cookies might not stop all data sharing with third-party entities, such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or to opt-out of specific third-party data uses, please consult the “Behavioural Advertising” section as mentioned earlier.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may feature embedded content, such as videos, images, and articles. Such content from other websites behaves exactly as if you’ve visited the other website directly. These sites might gather data about you, employ cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that website.
