1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information that is needed to operate the site and improve the reader experience:

  • Information you provide voluntarily — for example, your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, or your name, email and message when you submit a contact form.
  • Information collected automatically — including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, the pages you visit on our site, and the time and date of your visit. This is collected via standard server logs and analytics tools.
  • Cookies and similar technologies — see Section 4.

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the site and its content.
  • Send newsletter emails to subscribers who have opted in.
  • Respond to enquiries submitted through our contact form or by email.
  • Understand how readers use the site (e.g. which articles are popular) so we can produce better content.
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, abuse, or fraud.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or similar laws apply, we rely on the following legal bases: your consent (e.g. newsletter signup, non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (running and securing the site), and compliance with legal obligations.

4. Cookies and Third-Party Advertising

This site uses cookies and similar technologies to operate properly, to measure traffic, and to serve advertisements.

  • Essential cookies — required for the site to function (for example, session and CSRF protection cookies).
  • Analytics cookies — we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. These cookies collect information in an aggregated, generally anonymous form.
  • Advertising cookies — third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. For more information about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us operate the site (such as hosting, email delivery, analytics, and advertising), and only to the extent needed for those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Newsletter subscribers may unsubscribe at any time, after which their email is removed from our active list.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email us at contactharriben@gmail.com.
