Who We Are
Our website address is: https://cookwithyana.com.
Comments
When visitors post comments on the site, we gather the information shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser details, to help reduce spam.
A coded (hashed) version of your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use their platform. You can read their privacy policy at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once your comment is approved, your profile photo (if available) becomes visible to the public next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, avoid adding photos that contain location data (EXIF GPS). Anyone visiting the site could download the image and extract that information.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may choose to store your name, email, and website in cookies. This is simply to make future commenting easier, and these cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be created to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not store personal information and is removed once your browser is closed.
When you log in, we set cookies that save your login session and display settings. Login cookies last two days, while display-preferences cookies last a year. If you choose “Remember Me”, your login stays active for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be saved. It does not store personal details—only the ID of the post you edited—and it expires in one day.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this website may include embedded items from other sites (such as videos, images, or articles). These embedded items behave just as they would if you visited the original website directly.
Those external sites may:
- collect data about you,
- use cookies,
- include third-party tracking,
- monitor how you interact with the embedded content, especially if you have an account on that site.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, the IP address tied to your request will appear in the reset email.
How Long We Keep Your Data
Comments and their metadata are stored permanently so we can automatically approve future comments without putting them in moderation again.
For users who create accounts (if available), we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can view, update, or delete your details anytime—except for the username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators can also see and modify that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on the site or have left comments, you may request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you. You may also ask us to delete your information.
This does not include data we must keep for legal, security, or administrative purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be analyzed through an automated spam-prevention tool.
