Who we are
Our website address is: http://warsintheworkshop.org. If you have any queries over Privacy, please do not hesitate to contact catherine.gower@ntu.ac.uk.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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.
Cookies
We track visitor behaviour through Google Analytics via the Google Site Kit plug-in. Data is anonymised and aggregated. The data we collect is primarily:
- Visitor count
- Duration of visit
- Origins of visitor (if you found the website via Google Search, through a link, etc.)
- Device visitors use to access the site
We use this data to track visitor engagement so that we can improve the website in accordance with our visitors’ needs.
You can opt out of Analytics cookies or any other cookies used on the site via the CookieYes banner or button which appears on the website. You can change your cookie preferences at any point.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will 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.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you 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.). 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, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We process visitor data using the Google Site Kit plug-in which uses Google Analytics 4. If you wish to opt-out of sharing visitor data, please amend your cookie preferences with the CookieYes button or update your browser cookie preferences. If you have any issues, please contact us at catherine.gower@ntu.ac.uk.
How long we retain your data
Visitor data through Google Analytics is retained for 14 months before being deleted.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, 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 to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. 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.
If you have any concerns about data usage, please contact us at catherine.gower@ntu.ac.uk.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
