How We Utilize Your Personal Information
The Site does not share, rent, or disclose your personal
information to third parties without your prior consent, except as outlined in
this privacy policy.
Your personal information may be utilized within the Site
and related websites for various purposes, including transaction processing,
communication, site improvement, enforcement of legal terms, protection of the
Site and its stakeholders, and for other purposes indicated in our privacy
policy.
Additionally, non-personally identifiable information may be
utilized for site analysis, enhancing site design and content, delivering
targeted marketing, personalizing user experiences, and providing products and
services. In certain instances, IP addresses may be used to identify users for
the enforcement of legal terms or protection of the Site and its stakeholders.
Comment Information
We employ comment information to distinguish and identify
you from other commenters, respond to your comments, and engage in
communication with you.
Email Information
Email information is utilized to communicate with you and
furnish you with updates pertaining to our newly published content.
Device Information
The data we collect aids in screening for potential risks
and fraudulent activities, particularly through your IP address. Additionally,
it assists us in enhancing and optimizing our Site. For instance, we generate
analytics to understand how users browse and interact with the Site and
evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising endeavors.
Your information is not traded or shared. Given that our
site lacks any commercial functionalities, you won't receive any
commerce-related communications from us.
Analytics Statistics:
Our analytics system collects data such as IP addresses,
user IDs and usernames (if logged in), user agents, visiting and referring
URLs, event timestamps, browser languages, and country codes. However, the site
owner does not have access to this information. For instance, they can see the
total views of a specific post but not the identities of individual visitors.
The data, including visitor IP addresses and usernames (if available), is
retained by the third-party service provider for 28 days solely for the purpose
of facilitating this feature. We track post and page views, outbound link
clicks, referring URLs, search engine terms, and countries. Additionally, the
performance of each page load, including the JavaScript file used for tracking
stats, is monitored.
To ensure compliance with GDPR, we utilize analytics
software to understand how customers use our site:
• IP addresses are anonymized across all Google Analytics
hits, eCommerce hits, and form tracking hits.
• User ID tracking is disabled across Google Analytics hits,
eCommerce hits, form tracking hits, and the User ID.
• The ga() compatibility mode is enabled.
• Demographics and Interests Reports for Marketing and
Advertising tracking on Google Analytics hits are disabled.
• AMP users are given the option to agree to the Google AMP
Consent Box before being tracked.
For further information on how Google utilizes your Personal
Information, please refer to their Privacy Policy here. Additionally,
you can opt-out of Google Analytics here.
Search Feature:
The search feature utilizes visitor-selected search filters
and query data to fulfill search requests. We incorporate aggregate data on
page views and searches to refine our search results. This feature anonymously
monitors visitor search activities, including search queries and clicks, to
enhance our search algorithms and evaluate search performance. The tracking
encompasses various data points such as IP addresses, URLs, user agents, event
timestamps, browser languages, country codes, search queries, and filters.
Share Buttons
When official sharing buttons are enabled on the site, each
button fetches content directly from its respective service to display the
button along with relevant information and tools for the sharing party.
Consequently, each service may gather information about the sharing party. If a
non-official Facebook, X (twitter) or Pinterest sharing button is activated on
the site, data such as the sharing party's IP address and the page URL will be
accessible to each service, enabling the display of sharing counts next to the
button.
Note Regarding GDPR
The personal data specified in Article 9 or Article 10 of
the GDPR is not collected by the Site. Moreover, it does not partake in
extensive and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale.

described in this privacy policy statement.
