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.

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.

2️⃣ How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Publish and manage blog comments
  • Maintain a list of newsletter subscribers
  • Send occasional updates, newsletters, or announcements (only if you’ve subscribed)
  • Improve website performance and user experience
  • Detect and prevent spam or abusive activities

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties unless legally required.

3️⃣ Newsletter and Subscription Data

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your name, email, and WhatsApp number in our internal subscriber database. You can unsubscribe anytime using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

We use this data solely for communicating updates or content related to our site. We do not use it for third-party marketing.

4️⃣How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. 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.

5️⃣ Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data:

  • Using security plugins like Wordfence to secure the site
  • Implementing CAPTCHA systems to prevent spam
  • Limiting access to subscriber data to authorized personnel only

However, no method of transmission or storage over the Internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6️⃣ What rights you have over your data

Suggested text: 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.
