Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to analyze our traffic and serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.

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 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.

Share and redirect buttons

More specifically, embedded share and redirecting widgets to (social media) platforms (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Whatsapp, Pinterest, Instagram, Youtube) are embedded in this website. These widgets may collect your IP address, your web browser User Agent, store and retrieve cookies on your browser, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the widget, including correlating your account of that (social media) platform with whatever action you take within the widget (such as “liking/sharing/recommending” our webpage), if you are logged in to that platform. Also, by visiting the different platforms through the aforementioned buttons, your IP will become visible to those platforms. For more information about how this data may be used, please see the platform’s data privacy policy. Links for some of the platform’s data privacy policy are provided below, but note that it might be the case that not for all social media platforms that are embedded in this website, the privacy policy is included.

6. Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Where we send your data

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