Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://webtechweaver.com

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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

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.

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.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). 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.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

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.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

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.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Google Analytics

Data Collection and Processing

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to analyze how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service that collects and processes data about your use of our website through the use of cookies and similar technologies.

Google Analytics 4 uses first-party cookies to collect information about your interactions with our website. Specifically, it uses “_ga” cookies to distinguish unique users (which expire after two years by default) and “_ga<container-id>” cookies to distinguish session states (which also expire after two years by default).

The information collected by Google Analytics includes:

  • Pages you visit on our website
  • Time spent on each page
  • The website from which you navigated to our site
  • Technical information about your device, browser type, and IP address
  • Geographic location (at a city level)
  • Other analytical data that helps us improve our website experience

Google’s policies prohibit us from sending personally identifiable information (PII) to their systems, and we have configured our implementation to respect this requirement. 

Advanced Features and Data Usage

We have enabled certain advanced Google Analytics features to better understand our audience and improve our website. These features include:

  • Demographic reporting (age, gender, interests)
  • Remarketing capabilities
  • Advertising reporting features

These features use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as Google advertising cookies) together to collect and analyze data about your browsing habits. 

Data Sharing

The data collected through Google Analytics is shared with Google, which acts as a third-party processor. Google may use this data to contextualize and personalize advertisements on its own advertising network. 

Data Retention

We have set our Google Analytics data retention period to 14 Months. After this period, user-level and event-level data associated with cookies, user identifiers, and advertising identifiers is automatically deleted.

Your Consent and Rights

We respect your right to privacy and provide mechanisms for you to control the data collected about you. By using our website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. 

Opt-Out Options

You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this website by disabling cookies in your browser. Additionally, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which is available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout TermsFeedGoogle Support

You can also manage your preferences for personalized advertising through Google’s Ad Settings (https://adssettings.google.com), Ad Settings for mobile apps, or any other available means.
