Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies 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.
When you log in to our site, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. These cookies will last for two days or a year, depending on your preference.

Log Files
We collect information from log files, which include your IP (Internet Protocol) address, ISP (Internet Service Provider), web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Firefox), time of visit, and specific pages visited on our website. This information is used to monitor traffic patterns and improve our website.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content from other websites (e.g., videos, images, articles). 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.
Advertisements
Ads appearing on our website may be delivered by advertising partners who may set cookies. These cookies allow ad servers to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you.
Who We Share Your Data With
We may share your information with third parties in the following situations:
- Legal Requirement: When it is necessary to comply with the law, a court order, tribunal decision, or governmental agency’s request.
- Service Providers: We may share your information with officers, employees, affiliates, and service providers who assist us in processing personal information on our behalf. We ensure that these parties adhere to this Privacy Policy and implement appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
- Aggregate Statistics: We may provide advertisers with information in the form of aggregated statistics about traffic to different pages on our site.
Storage and Retention of Data
We ensure that your information is collected and stored securely on our systems, which are primarily located in the UK and European Economic Area (EEA). In cases where we utilize third-party service providers for data storage, we have established appropriate agreements to safeguard your personal data.
The retention of personal data is contingent upon the specific purposes for which it is collected. The duration for which we retain your data may vary depending on the services or products we provide. Once that purpose has been fulfilled, we will either securely delete the data or anonymize it to ensure that it no longer identifies you.
How 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.
Data Security
We prioritize the security of the personal data we possess. Adhering to the principles of the GDPR, we implement suitable technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access to your information and maintain its security. When transferring personal data to third parties, we ensure that they have established adequate security measures in place.
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.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable laws, we have a legal obligation to safeguard the personal information we collect from you. According to GDPR, “personal data” refers to any information that pertains to an identifiable living individual, either directly or indirectly. This may include details like your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, or any online information used to identify you.
