Website data management

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.

Links to other websites

We are not responsible for external websites managed by others. When you click on a link that takes you to a website external to ours, we do not control the privacy and security of these sites. However, we do not share personal information to these sites that you have supplied us, such as your email address or password.

Analytics

We use third-party service providers to track our own website demand, usage patterns, search engine performance, and general website user demographic information about website users, location, and interests. Demographic information captured is anonymised and is not directly identifiable to specific users of the site.

Who we share your data with

We will never share personal data that you have provided us, such as email address or name. Please also refer to Cookies.

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.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
