I share photos of my handmade creations on my social media accounts (all links are provided here on my blog), as well as links to other blog posts where I have also shared those creations. No data other than my own is shared on my Social Media accounts. Only photos of my handmade creations and links to blog posts are visible on my Social Media accounts, and content from this blog is visible only on my blog. Followers and readers of my social media accounts have to visit my blog to see/read the content.

I am not responsible if minors visit my blog. My Blog is minor friendly, but no minor is invited to leave their data on my blog.

This Data Protection and Privacy Policy applies to all content published on my blog and also to content published on my blog prior to this document becoming effective.

No data on this blog nor any content of this blog is permitted to be shared with any third party or allowed to be downloaded, copied etc. by any person.

  • FOR FOLLOWERS
  • FOR THOSE THAT LEAVE A COMMENT

FOR FOLLOWERS

Those following this blog do so in the knowledge that their photo, link to their profile and name are visible to all those who visit this blog and in that way they have published their own personal details.

If you don’t want your personal data as mentioned above to be visible to those who visit this blog, you will have to remove yourself from the Followers list (so you will in effect be unfollowing my blog). If any technical difficulty occurs, you should contact WordPress to solve these problems.

Following this blog via e-mail will be disabled on this blog on the 25th May 2018 and all data (followers’ e-mail addresses) permanently deleted. No personal data has been kept neither has it been forwarded to any other party.  If, for some reason, you are still receiving automatic e-mails about what I post on my blog, contact me as soon as soon as possible.

FOR THOSE THAT LEAVE A COMMENT

Those leaving a comment on this blog do so in the knowledge that their name, link to their profile or blog, as well as the comments they leave are visible to all those who visit this blog and they are thereby consenting to the use of their personal information for that specific purpose.

WordPress itself provides an option for all users and commentators to delete comments they leave on any blog. This blog is no different. If you wish to delete your published comments from my blog, you are free to do so. If any technical difficulty occurs, you should contact WordPress to solve these problems.

Due to a lot of Spam in comments (with some disturbing content) all comments will be approved by me before being published. Disturbing, violent and offensive comments will not be approved by me and will not be published on my blog. Any such comments will be deleted immediately.  Commentators leaving disturbing comments on my blog will be blocked and reported to the WordPress.

COOKIE POLICY

WordPress uses cookies. Please read the full Cookie Policy upon entering the blog but please check out the summary below. Thank you.

WordPress Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of your information. This policy specifically explains how wordpress, their partners, and users of their services deploy cookies, as well as the options you have to control them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).

Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

How we use cookies

WordPress use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons; some enable a personalized experience for both visitors and registered users; and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “like” or “follow” button on a post, for example).

Many of the cookies wordpress use are only set if you are a registered WordPress.com user (so you don’t have to log in every time, for example), while others are set whenever you visit one of their websites, irrespective of whether you have an account.

For more information on the choices you have about the cookies we use, please see the Controlling Cookies section below.

Where we place cookies

WordPress set cookies in a number of different locations across their services. These include:

  • On their websites (including automattic.com, wordpress.com, vip.wordpress.com, jetpack.com, gravatar.com, intensedebate.com, vaultpress.com, and akismet.com).
  • In the administrative dashboards of their websites, such as Calypso and wp-admin.
  • On sites they host for their users.
  • On sites that use their plugins (e.g. Jetpack).

Controlling Cookies

Visitors may wish to restrict the use of cookies or completely prevent them from being set. Most browsers provide for ways to control cookie behavior such as the length of time they are stored – either through built-in functionality or by utilizing third party plugins. If you disable cookies, please be aware that some of the features of our service may not function correctly.

To find out more on how to manage and delete cookies, visit aboutcookies.org. For more details on your choices regarding use of your web browsing activity for interest-based advertising visit youronlinechoices.eu (EU based) or optout.aboutads.info (US based). On a mobile device, you may also be to adjust your settings to limit ad tracking.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

Consent for Advertising Cookies on Our Sites

You may see a “cookie banner” on our websites and dashboards. If you are visiting one of the WordPress users’ sites from the EU, then wordpress does not set, or allow their ad partners to set, cookies that are used to show you targeted ads before you click to accept. When you consent in this manner, we and our advertising partners may set advertising cookies on the site you are visiting and on other of our websites, dashboards, and services. WordPress display the banner to you periodically, just in case you change your mind.

Consent and Choices for Advertisements on Our Users’ Sites Through Our Ads Program

You may see a “cookie banner” on our users’ websites, particularly if you are in the European Union. If so, then the WordPress ad program does not set, or allow the WordPress ad partners to set, cookies that are used to show you targeted ads before you accept. When you consent in this manner, WordPress and their advertising partners may set third party advertising cookies on their network in order to show you personalized ads. WordPress will display the banner to you periodically, just in case you change your mind.

* Please note this consent feature will start on May 22, 2018.

WordPress set a cookie to help us understand how visitors engage with websites that participate in their ad program. Visitors may opt out of our use of this information by visiting this link (the opt-out will be processed immediately with no confirmation step). When you opt out, wordpress will replace the unique value for that cookie with an opt-out value. The opt-out works across all websites in our ads program. If you have opted out by accident, or wish to opt back in, you may do so by visiting this link. Please note that this option is browser specific, and so if you use a different device or browser or clear your cookies, then you will need to repeat the process.

Thank you for taking the time to read this privacy policy. Have a great day! X
