4. Cookies

Our Site may use cookies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your browser by a website. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Site.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites, such as YouTube, 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.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with third-party service providers who help us operate our website. This includes:

  • Spam Detection: We use Akismet Anti-Spam to protect our forms from spam submissions. When you submit a form, the data is sent to their service for analysis.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you submit a contact form, the metadata and its content are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up communications automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

8. Your Rights Over Your Data

Under GDPR, you have rights over your personal data. If you have submitted a form on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
