Information collected automatically
- Google Analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how many people visit the site and which pages they read. It uses cookies and collects data such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser. We do not use it to identify you personally.
- Server logs and security: our hosting provider and security software record IP addresses and requests to protect the site against attacks and spam.

Embedded content and social features
Articles may include embedded content (for example YouTube videos or maps) and Facebook comments. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with it.
Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal information. Data is processed by the services named above (Google, Automattic/Akismet, Facebook for embedded comments, and our hosting provider) only to run the site.
How long we keep data
Comments and their metadata are kept as long as the comment is published. Contact emails are kept only as long as needed to answer you. Analytics data is kept according to Google Analytics retention settings.
