Privacy policy

Welcome to Olingtons.com. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit or interact with our website.

Who we are

Our official website address is: https://olingtons.com

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/
Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

Comments

If you leave a comment on our website, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Login

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set several cookies to store your login information and screen display preferences:

  • Login cookies last for two days
  • Screen options cookies last for one year
  • If you select “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks
  • Once you log out, the login cookies will be removed

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and simply indicates that the article has been edited or published. It expires after one day.


Embedded content from other websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, include third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content—including tracking your activity if you have an account and are logged into that site.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.

How long we keep your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata will be stored indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of keeping them in moderation.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.


Your rights over your data

If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.

You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.


Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.
