PRIVACY POLICY
1. Use of Cookies
We use cookies to enhance user experience and improve website functionality. By using our site, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.
Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies are stored for one year.
Login Cookies: When visiting our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. Upon logging in, cookies are used to retain login credentials and display preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, while screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login session will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
Publishing Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be stored in your browser indicating the post ID of the article you edited. This cookie does not contain personal data and expires after one day.
2. Embedded Content from Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain embedded content, such as videos, images, and articles from third-party websites. Embedded content functions in the same manner as if you visited the external website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data, use cookies, integrate additional third-party tracking, and monitor interactions with their embedded content. If you have an account and are logged into such websites, they may track your interactions with their embedded media.
3. Data Retention
Comments: If you leave a comment on our site, both the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.
User Accounts: For registered users, we store the personal information provided within their user profile. Users may view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username, which cannot be altered. Website administrators have access to view and manage user profiles.
4. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you may request an exported copy of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided to us. Additionally, you may request the deletion of your personal data, except for information that must be retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
5. Data Processing and Security
To maintain security and prevent spam, visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection system. We take reasonable precautions to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, loss, or alteration.
6. Contact Information
For any privacy-related inquiries or to exercise your data rights, please contact us through our designated privacy compliance officer or support team.
