If you leave a comment on my site you may opt-in to save your name, email address and website in the 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.
As I am using Google Analytics to analyze the performance of the website, it will save 3 cookies. I have anonymized your IP address & demographic information, but with these cookies, I can detect languages, reader flows, most popular post, etc. Cookies are saved between 1min and 24 hours.
To make the website faster, I am using Cloudflare. The cookie is saved for 5 years.
To provide different languages on my blog, I am using WPML, which uses cookies to identify the visitor’s current language, the last visited language and the language of users who have logged in.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content (i.e. YouTube), including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How do I protect your information?
I do not use vulnerability scanning and/or scanning to PCI standards. I only provide articles and information. I never ask for credit card numbers.
Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.

I implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.
Third-party disclosure
I do not sell, trade, or otherwise, transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist me in operating my website, conducting my business, or serving my users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. I may also release information when it’s release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce the site policies, or protect mine or others’ rights, property or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Occasionally, at our discretion, I may include or offer third-party products or services on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies.

How does my site handle Do Not Track signals?
I honor Do Not Track signals and Do Not Track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.
It’s also important to note that I allow third-party behavioral tracking (Google Analytics).
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
I do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

I also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
