2. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

3. Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

4. Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These 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.

Google AdSense & Third-Party Cookies: We may use third-party advertising companies (like Google AdSense) to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies to understand your interests and serve ads about goods and services of interest to you.

  • Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user‘s prior visits to your website or other websites.

  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos from YouTube, images, Instagram posts). 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.

6. Affiliate Disclosure

This site participates in affiliate marketing programs, including the Shopee Affiliate Program. This means we may get paid commissions on chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites.

This comes at no extra cost to you. The commission helps support the maintenance of this blog. We only recommend products that we have personally researched or used.

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.

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.
