Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We may collect limited information when you visit the website, including:

• Basic usage data, such as pages visited and time spent on the site
• Device and browser information
• IP address, where applicable and where available through standard analytics or server logs

If you choose to contact us, we may also collect:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Any information you provide in your message

2. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

• Understand how the website is used
• Improve content and user experience
• Respond to messages or inquiries
• Maintain and improve the website's performance and reliability

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

3. Analytics and Cookies

This website may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to measure traffic and understand how visitors use the site.

These tools may use cookies or similar technologies to collect usage information.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.

To understand how articles are read, this website also sets its own cookie named cv_id. It only contains a random identifier, which lets us recognize a returning browser without knowing who you are.

When you open an article, we record the article and its language, the date and time, your approximate location (country and city, derived by our hosting provider from your IP address), your device type, browser and operating system, the website that referred you, and how long and how far you read. We do not store your IP address.

Visits by the site administrator and by automated bots are not recorded. This reading data is used only to understand and improve the content. Detailed records are kept only for as long as they are reasonably useful for that purpose; after that, they may be deleted or reduced to aggregated statistics that no longer relate to an individual browser. Deleting the cv_id cookie in your browser breaks the link between your past and future visits.

If you like an article, we store that like together with your cv_id identifier, the article language and your approximate location (country and city), so each browser can like an article only once. To prevent abuse, a one-way keyed hash of your IP address is kept with the like; the IP address itself is not stored. Removing your like deletes this record.

If you post a comment, the name you choose and your comment are shown publicly with the article. We also keep, without showing them, your cv_id identifier, your approximate location and a one-way keyed hash of your IP address, to prevent spam and abuse. You do not need to use your real name. Comments may be held for review or removed if they look like spam or break basic courtesy, and you may ask us to remove a comment you wrote.

4. Data Sharing

We do not share personal data with third parties except in limited situations, such as:

• When required by law
• When necessary to operate, secure, or maintain the website
• When working with service providers that support basic website operations, analytics, or infrastructure

5. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information processed through this website. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data
• Request correction or deletion of your personal data

If you would like to make a request, please contact us using the contact information provided below.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the website or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page.
