Cookies

Our default policy is not to use 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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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.

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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

We tend to limit the use of such embedded content to avoid any inconveniences.

Analytics

We do not use analytics embedded in our website. The only analytics used are from the server logs. We do not use tracking, we check mostly for activity and popular URLs. See the next section for information about this analytics.

Who we share your data with

Our hosting provider, OVH, is keeping analytic data from visitors using server logs. Those data include IP address, date and time, and web request (e.g. which page did this IP requested to view). We only use these data to see which URLs are popular, to see if links are broken, etc. But those data are not used for tracking or advertising by us. OVH is a European company and they do respect your privacy and implement the GDPR, see their own privacy policy (in French) https://www.ovh.com/fr/protection-donnees-personnelles/gdpr.xml.

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.

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 we send your data

We do not share any data with third party. The website and its data is hosted by OVH, see their own privacy policy.
