What is collected
- Server and security logs — IP address, browser user agent, requested URL and time of the request. Kept by the hosting provider and by Cloudflare, which fronts this site. Used to keep the site online and to block abuse.
- Comments — if you leave one, the name, email address, IP address and comment text are stored, and the IP is checked against the Akismet anti-spam service. Email addresses are never published.
- Contact messages — anything you send by email or through the contact form, kept only as long as needed to answer you.
- Cookies — required cookies for the site to function, plus, only with your consent, statistics and advertising cookies.
Advertising and measurement
This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense and may use analytics to understand which articles are useful. Advertisers can set cookies to measure and personalise ads. Personalised advertising and analytics cookies are only set after you accept them in the consent banner; if you decline, you receive non-personalised advertising only.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer.
Third parties
- Cloudflare — CDN, security and traffic filtering.
- Google — advertising and, where used, analytics.
- Akismet — comment spam filtering.
- The hosting provider that stores the site’s files and database.
Each of these processes data under its own privacy policy. Data may be processed outside the European Economic Area under the safeguards those providers publish.
How long data is kept
Server logs are kept for a short operational period and rotated. Comments are kept for as long as the article they belong to. Contact emails are deleted once the exchange is finished, unless there is a legal reason to keep them.

Under the GDPR you can ask for a copy of your personal data, ask for it to be corrected or erased, object to processing, or ask for it to be restricted. Write to [email protected] and it will be handled within one month. You also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority.
