Information we keep
Analytics & Site Usage
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics collects information such as:
- Pages visited
- Time spent on pages
- Browser and device type
- Approximate location (city/region)
This information is collected using cookies and similar technologies. We use this data only to improve the site and its content.
Google may combine the data it collects from this site with data from other Google services. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by adjusting your browser settings or using Google’s Analytics opt-out add-on.
Google’s privacy policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
We and our hosting provider may log technical data such as IP addresses, server logs, and user agent strings for security and performance monitoring.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
We use Akismet, an automated spam detection service. Comment data may be checked through Akismet to help prevent spam and abusive behavior.
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment.
Forms & user submissions
If you submit information through a form on the site (such as a contact form or poll), we collect the information you provide along with your IP address.
We use the Forminator plugin to manage form submissions. Submitted information is used only for the purpose for which it was provided and is not shared or sold to third parties.
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
This site uses cookies for:
- Analytics and performance tracking
- Comment convenience (remembering your details)
- Basic WordPress functionality
You can control or disable cookies using your browser settings, though this may affect some site functionality. Disabling non‑essential cookies (like analytics) in your browser will stop tracking but may affect site features.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, or social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the 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.
Image optimization
This site uses WP Smush to optimize images for performance. WP Smush does not collect personal data from site visitors. Images may be processed by a third-party service strictly for optimization purposes.
We share limited data only with services necessary to operate the site, including:
- Google (analytics)
- Akismet (spam filtering)
- Our website hosting provider
We do not sell personal information.
How long we retain your data
- Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely unless removed.
- Form submissions are kept only as long as needed for their purpose.
- Analytics data is retained according to Google’s policies.
Your rights
This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
While we don’t support automated exporting of your data, you may request that we stop approving future comments from you or remove specific comments from public view; we cannot guarantee deletion of all data from backups or analytics systems
To make a request, please contact us through the site’s contact form or leave a comment with your request.
