Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Zfieriz collects when you visit this website, why it is collected, who it is shared with, and the choices available to you.

Last updated 25 August 2026

Zfieriz ("we", "us", "our") operates this website. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible, and to be explicit about the parts of the site where third parties may collect information of their own.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

If you email us or submit a form, we receive whatever you choose to send: typically your email address, your name if you give it, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to you and to keep a record of correspondence such as correction reports.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure records technical information each time a page is requested. This normally includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the page requested, the referring page, and the date and time of the request. This data is used for security, abuse prevention, and diagnosing faults.

Information collected by third parties

Advertising and analytics providers used on this site may collect information independently of us, including through cookies and similar technologies. What they collect is governed by their own privacy policies, described below.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and device identifiers. Cookies used in connection with this site fall into three groups:

  • Essential. Required for the site to function and to remember privacy choices you have made. These cannot be switched off without breaking the site.
  • Analytics. Used to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which articles are read, how visitors arrive, and where errors occur.
  • Advertising. Used by advertising partners to serve advertisements, limit how often you see the same advertisement, and in some configurations to personalise advertising based on your prior browsing.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking them entirely or deleting existing ones. Blocking cookies will not prevent you from reading articles.

3. Advertising partners

This site is supported by advertising served by third-party networks. Where Google AdSense or another Google advertising product is used:

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve advertisements on this site.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve advertisements to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising from many participating vendors at optout.aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.

Third-party vendors and advertising networks other than Google may also serve advertisements on this site and may use their own cookies. We do not control these cookies and do not have access to the data they collect.

4. Analytics

We may use a web analytics service to measure aggregate readership. Analytics data is used in aggregate to understand which topics are useful to readers. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors from analytics data.

5. How we use information

  • To deliver the website and its content to your device.
  • To respond to messages and correction reports you send us.
  • To maintain security and prevent abuse, fraud and automated scraping.
  • To understand aggregate readership and improve what we publish.
  • To display advertising that funds the publication.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share your email address with advertisers.

6. Legal bases for processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process personal data on the following bases: legitimate interests for security logging and aggregate analytics; consent for non-essential cookies including personalised advertising; and legitimate interests in responding to correspondence you initiate.

7. Data retention

Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes and are then deleted or aggregated. Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle the matter raised and to maintain a record of corrections. Third-party retention periods are governed by those parties' own policies.

8. International transfers

Our hosting, analytics and advertising providers may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, such transfers rely on recognised safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent for cookie-based processing, and to receive a copy of data you provided in a portable format.

If you are a California resident, you additionally have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We do not sell personal information for money.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@zfieriz.com. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

10. Children

This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Security

The site is served over encrypted connections and we apply reasonable technical measures to protect the limited information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Links to other sites

Articles link to external sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The revision date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.

14. Contact

Questions about this policy can be sent to privacy@zfieriz.com, or through our contact page.
