Who We Are
Our website address is:
http://thecozytable.ca
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information is collected to help with spam detection and to maintain the security and integrity of our website.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at:
https://automattic.com/privacy/
After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if connected to Gravatar) may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving future comments. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited that website directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into an account on that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email as a security measure.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.
If users register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.
You may also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
