About us
We are the UGR Blog.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and the browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.
An anonymous chain created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment has been approved, your profile image will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you have an account and log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when the browser is closed.
When you log in, we will also set several cookies to store your login information and your display options. The login cookies last two days, and the display option cookies last one year. If you select “Remember me”, your login will last two weeks. If you log out of your account, your login cookies will be deleted.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and simply indicates the ID of the article you have just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). The embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including the tracking of your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account on and are logged in to that website.
Who do we share your data with?
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long do we store your data?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata will be stored indefinitely. In this way, we can automatically recognise and approve successive comments instead of placing them in a moderation queue.
What rights do you have over your data?
If you have left comments on this website, you may request to receive an export file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data that we are obliged to store for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where do we send your data?
Visitor comments may be reviewed by an automated spam detection service.
