Definitions

‘Non-personal data’ (NPD) is information that is in no way personally identifiable. ‘Personal data’ (PD) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. PD is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). HoIver, PD is broader in scope and covers more data.

A “visitor” is someone who merely browses my website/blog. A “member” is someone who has registered with me, for instance to receive an email when a new post is published. The term “user” is a collective identifier that refers to either a visitor or a member.

I collect your PD in the following ways:

Automatic Information

I automatically receive information from your web browser or mobile device. This information includes the name of the website from which you entered my website/blog, if any, as well as the name of the website you’ll visit when you leave my website/blog. This information also includes the IP address of your computer/the proxy server you use to access the Internet, your Internet service provider’s name, your web browser type, the type of mobile device, your computer operating system, and data about your browsing activity when using my website/blog. I use all this information to analyze trends among my users to help improve my website/blog.

When entering and using my website/blog

When you enter and use my website/blog and agree to accept cookies, some of these cookies may contain your PD.

Member registration

Collecting your location information

I use tools to provide you with nice content and to analyze. The companies providing these tools
gather information of what you do, which website you came from and which website you go to etc.
Like Google Analytics. When you use my website/blog, these companies, which services I use, may
collect and process information about your actual physical location.

2. My use of cookies

My website/blog uses cookies. A cookie is a small piece of data or a text file that is downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you access certain websites. Cookies may contain text that can be read by the web server that delivered the cookie to you. The text contained in the cookie generally consists of a sequence of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies your computer or mobile device; it may contain other information as well.

By agreeing to accept my use of cookies, you are giving me, and third parties whose tools I use, permission to place, store, and access some or all the cookies described below on your computer.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary for proper functioning of the website/blog, such as displaying content, validating your session, responding to your comment, and other functions. Most web browsers can be set to disable the use of cookies. However, if you disable these cookies, you may not be able to access features on my website/blog correctly or at all.

Performance cookies

These cookies collect information about the use of the website/blog, such as pages visited, traffic sources, users’ interests, content management, and other website/blog measurements.

Media cookies

These cookies can be used to improve a website/blog’s performance and provide special features and content. They can be placed by third parties who provide services to my website/blog.

Advertising or targeting cookies

You will see less advertising if you disable these cookies. As I do not have any advertising on my website/blog, these cookies can only be placed by the companies whose tools I use.

Session cookies

These cookies allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session. They may be used for a variety of purposes. Session cookies permit users to be recognized as they navigate a website so that any item or page changes they make are remembered from page to page. Session cookies expire after a browser session; thus, they are not stored long term.

Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes, including remembering users’ choices and preferences when using a website or to target advertising to them.

I may also use cookies for:

  • My website/blog analytics

Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Notice

Google Analytics 4 collects information from users such as age, gender, interests, demographics, how often they visit my website/blog, what pages they visit, and what other websites they have used before coming to my website/blog.

Google remarketing

Why am I seeing ads by Google for products I’ve looked at?

Although I do no tintend to advertise or have any advertisements on my website/blog, my website/blog provides data to use for remarketing advertising to Google and other companies that show ads on websites across the Internet. As an example, suppose you visit a website that sells computers, but you do not buy a computer on your first visit to that website. The website’s owner might like to encourage you to revisit his/her site and buy a computer by showing you his/her ads again on other websites that you visit. Google will read a cookie that is already in your browser, or they place a cookie in your browser when you visit my site or other sites using remarketing. You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies and remarketing at this link: https://support.google.com/ads/ansIr/2662922?hl=en or you can opt out using the Network Advertising Initiative opt out page at: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/#!/

Facebook remarketing

Third parties, including Facebook, may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from my website/blog and elsewhere on the internet, and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads. With Facebook remarketing you may see ads on Facebook after you have visited my website/blog. For this to happen, Facebook uses a Custom Audience Pixel that is activated when a visitor lands on a webpage and a unique “cookie” is placed in their browser. Facebook lookalike audience targeting allows to show ads on Facebook to people who are similar to those who have already visited my website/blog.
