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.
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.
Authorised site administrators may use WordPress login and administration cookies when accessing the site dashboard. These cookies are used for authentication, security and display preferences and are not part of the normal visitor experience
Analytics and consent
DateTools uses Google Analytics through Google Site Kit to understand how the website is used. Cookie consent is managed using Complianz. Visitors can accept, reject or manage their cookie preferences using the consent banner and the Manage consent control. For more information about the cookies used on DateTools, see our Cookie Policy.
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
Authorised site administrators who request a WordPress password reset may have their IP address 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.
Public user registration is disabled. WordPress user profiles are used only for authorised site administrators.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
