What Data We Collect and Why
Summary: We collect personal information that you provide to us and thus give your consent for us to collect. Some information – such as your IP address and/or browser and device characteristics – is collected automatically when you visit our site.
Data from Comments
Whenever a visitor leaves a comment on our site, we collect the data as shown in the comment form. We also collect the visitors IP-address, the browser user agent (to help detect spam) and the device they used when leaving the comment. 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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Data Collected for Analytics
At Life in our Kitchen, we make use of Google Analytics to record information about the pages a user/visitor has seen, for example the URL of the page, time of day, device used etc. The collected information is anonymized and sent to Google Analytics. Google Analytics mainly uses first-party cookies to report on visitor interactions on this website. Users may disable cookies or delete any individual cookie from your browser settings tab. In addition, Google Analytics supports an optional browser add-on that – once installed and enabled – disables measurement by Google Analytics for any site a user visits. Note that this add-on only disables Google Analytics measurement.
Google Analytics also collects IP addresses to provide and protect the security of the service, and to give website owners a sense of which country, state, or city in the world their users/visitors come from. See this page for Google Analytics security and usage of data.

Cookies
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice which can be found here.
Data from Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube, Pinterest, WordPress.org etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor/user has visited the other website. These websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into that particular website. For more information on how to control that information and how to delete it, please visit the Privacy Policy of the original website.
Data sent to Advertiser
Your data may be collected through advertising on our website from Google Adsense.

How Long we Keep Your Data
If you so choose to leave a comment, that comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely or until you choose to delete that comment. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

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.

For all other services, we will retain your data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
