Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.bluedune.eu.
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 string to help with 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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again for subsequent comments. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we 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.
When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article just edited. It expires after one day.
When you choose a language, we use a cookie to remember your selection for future visits, so you don’t have to select it each time.
When you visit our site, we use Google Analytics to track website traffic. Google Analytics may set cookies to collect anonymous data, such as which pages you visit and how long you stay. This helps us improve the site’s content and user experience.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, including tracking if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
We have given you the choice to accept this embedded third-party content or not, as we prompt you with consent boxes for all embedded content, and no data is transferred before consent is granted. The checkboxes below show all the embeds you have consented to. You can opt out at any time by unchecking selected embeds and clicking the Update button.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely, allowing us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including data you have provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, excluding any data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
