Privacy Policy
I use banners from affiliate networks like Rakuten, Impact, other smaller networks, and independent affiliate programs that are run by companies not within an affiliate network. Affiliate networks are third-party platforms that connect publishers like me with businesses. They provide the tracking tools needed to attribute a purchase to the correct affiliate. When you click on an affiliate link, cookies may be set to ensure I receive a small commission if you make a qualifying purchase.
I do not use Google AdSense or similar ad networks that serve personalised ads based on your browsing history.
I use Arnan de Gans’s AdRotate Banner Manager plugin, which is available at https://wordpress.org/plugins/adrotate. I organise banners into an ad group, and each time a page refreshes, a new banner is shown. This is a basic rotation method — not dynamically loaded.
When anyone wants to comment, they are required to provide a name and an e-mail address along with the comment. The IP address is also automatically recorded. The IP address and e-mail address are never shown publicly. Regardless of what you may have heard, I cannot determine your exact location — nor do I want to.
You can put your name or a “secret” name, especially if you are a spy from Aman, CIA, CSIS/SCRS, DIA, FBI, Mossad, NSA, RCMP/GRC, Shin Bet, or the U.S. Secret Service. I would not want you to blow your cover and jeopardise your mission just to leave a comment on my site. It does not have to be your legal name. If you are in a transitional phase of your life — for example, changing your name for personal or safety reasons — you may use whichever name you currently identify with.
I use a plugin called SlimStat Analytics. It collects visitor information as anonymously as possible. I am interested in general patterns such as where traffic is coming from. Most websites collect this type of data. The settings are configured to track only at the country level — nothing more specific. If most of my traffic comes from Europe and South America, I will prioritise content for those audiences. If I notice traffic from other regions, I may start including more relevant content. What interests you influences a small percentage of the content direction.
I have a cookies policy here: miroslavglavic.com/cookies
The data is used solely for site functionality, moderation, analytics, and affiliate tracking.
I am the only person with full access to all content and data on this site. Assistants, when involved, have access only to the information required to perform their tasks.
Data is stored on a server located in Pori, Finland. I manage the site from Toronto, Canada.
All site backups are done manually. I download them to my local computer and immediately transfer them to a 1TB portable SSD.
If you have an account on this site or have posted comments and wish to have your data deleted, you can submit a request through the contact form at miroslavglavic.com/contact. Please include the e-mail address used. Depending on the type and amount of data, removal typically occurs within 7 business days, although larger requests or unusual circumstances may require additional time.
This website is intended for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. No one under the age of 18 is permitted to create an account, post comments, or engage with the site in any interactive capacity. Any accounts or content found to have been submitted by someone under 18 will be removed without notice. Whether the user may rejoin after reaching the age of 18 is at my discretion.
This policy may be updated at any time. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the current version of the policy.
For privacy-related concerns, you can reach me via the contact form at miroslavglavic.com/contact.
