For information about the processing of personal data or to exercise your rights, you can contact the Data Controller using the details provided in the Contacts section of the website.
2. What personal data we collect
While browsing and using the website, some personal data may be collected, depending on the features used.
This may include:
- data voluntarily provided by the user through any forms on the website;
- IP address;
- information about the browser and device used;
- technical data relating to browsing;
- information contained in comments, where the comments feature is available;
- data collected through cookies and similar technologies.
The website only collects the data necessary for the purposes for which it is provided or generated during browsing.
3. Comments
Where the website allows users to leave comments, the data entered in the comment form is collected, together with the IP address and the browser user agent string, in order to help detect spam.
An anonymised string created from the user’s email address (hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether the user is using it.
Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/
Once the comment has been approved, any profile picture associated with it may be publicly visible in the context of the comment.
4. Media
Where images can be uploaded to the website, users are advised to avoid uploading images containing embedded location data (EXIF GPS).
Visitors to the website could download the images and extract any location information from them.
5. Cookies
The website may use cookies and similar technologies to ensure its features work properly and, where applicable, to analyse how users browse the site.
Comment cookies
If a user leaves a comment on the website, they may choose to save their name, email address and website in cookies. These cookies are used so that the user does not have to enter this information again when leaving further comments, and may last up to one year.
Technical cookies
When a user visits the login page, a temporary cookie may be set to check whether their browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when the browser is closed.
When logging in to an account, cookies may be set to store login information and display preferences.
Login cookies may last two days, while display preference cookies may last up to one year. If the “Remember me” option is selected, the login may be kept for up to two weeks.
Logging out of the account removes the login cookies.
Content editing cookies
When an article is edited or published, an additional cookie may be saved in the browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the ID of the article just edited. It lasts about one day.
6. Content embedded from other websites
Articles and pages on the website may include content embedded from other websites, such as:
- videos;
- images;
- maps;
- articles;
- other multimedia content.
Embedded content from other websites may behave exactly as if the user had visited the website it comes from directly.
These third-party websites may collect personal data, use cookies, embed additional tracking systems and monitor the user’s interaction with the embedded content, in particular if the user has an account with the service concerned and is logged in to it.
7. Who we share data with
Personal data may be processed by parties that provide services necessary for the website to work, such as:
- hosting service providers;
- technical and IT service providers;
- security and anti-spam service providers;
- providers of any services integrated into the website.
These parties may only process the data to the extent necessary to provide the services requested.
If a password reset is requested, the user’s IP address may be included in the reset email.
8. How long we keep data
Personal data is kept for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected and, where applicable, for the period required by current legislation.
Where comments are present, the comment and its metadata may be kept indefinitely, so that any subsequent comments can be recognised and approved automatically.
Where there are registered users, the personal information provided in their profile is kept for as long as the account remains active or until its deletion is requested, subject to any retention obligations required by law.
9. What rights you have over your data
In accordance with applicable data protection legislation, users may exercise the following rights, where provided for:

- request the restriction of processing;
- object to processing, where provided for;
- request data portability, where applicable;
- withdraw previously given consent, where processing is based on consent.
Users who have an account or have left comments may also request an exported file containing the personal data held by the website, and may request the deletion of personal data concerning them.
Deletion does not include data that the controller is required to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
To exercise your rights, you can use the contact details provided in the Contacts section of the website.
10. Where data is sent
Users’ comments may be checked by an automated spam detection service.
In addition, where the website uses third-party services, some technical or personal data may be processed by the relevant providers in accordance with their own privacy policies.
