What Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (name, email, website) along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies so you do not have to fill in your details again on future comments. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will 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.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use client-side tracking or cookies and does not collect personal data. It provides aggregate, privacy-first metrics such as page views, visits, and referrers.

Embedded Content

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

Affiliate Links

Book review pages contain Amazon affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Amazon may set its own cookies and collect data according to its own privacy policy.

GeoIP Detection

We use MaxMind’s GeoLite2 database to detect your approximate location (country/region) based on your IP address. This is used solely to suggest a preferred language for the site. No location data is stored or shared with third parties.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties. Data may be shared only with:

Cloudways/DigitalOcean (hosting provider) for server operations
Cloudflare for CDN, security, and privacy-first analytics
Amazon when you click affiliate links (governed by Amazon’s privacy policy)
YouTube/Google when embedded videos are loaded on a page

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
