Your comments and privacy
Site does NOT require you to register to be able to use it as well it does not require you to leave any comments here.
Note, that, by leaving comments, you make them publically available for other people after comments have been checked and approved by site administration, so that they will be readable by other users, which use this site as well as it's will be available for search engines. Some other users can copy-paste parts of the site and it's impossible to protect from that.
By leaving comments you completelly agree to make them available to everyone, including non-registered users, as soon as comment is approved, thereby do NOT include in your comments any sensitive or your private information. For personal questions, you can always try to contact me in person, in any of private channels.
If you have left any private information in the comment by mistake, let me know and as soon as possible so that I can remove it. You can do it as a comment. Note that comments must pass approval before they will appear on the site.
Social Networks sharing
Site provides functionality, which is allows you to share content using social network API. This functionality will be activated ONLY when you click on appropriate button and allows you to share site content. It will do it only once. To repeat operation, you will have to repeat same actions (manually click on "Share" buttons again), we do not do it automatically. Note, that usually social network (SN) API is quite secured, but information you share might contain sensitive data, which you migth want to keep anonymized, as well as sharing will allow social network to trace your activity.
Note, that this site does not enforce you and does not check if you have used your actual information or fake one. By using this site, you can keep yourself anonymized: we are not interested to get any information about your actual persona. For us you are one of many other users. But if you start to use Social Network sharing, it will allow social network to link your anonymous account on this site to actual account on the SN using activities list, as well as any user, who has access to your SN account and your activities list there, will be able to match information and indirectly make you as non-anonymous on this site as well. Same is actual in case if you use same nicknames as on other sites or SN.
Note, on our side we do not keep any information about your SN activities and we do not store them in our system. Authorisation token to access SN API can be temporarily stored in your cookies to make it simpler to re-share content from site easier next time. You can always clean up all the cookies at any time using your browser.
Most of the people absolutelly fine with it, because they use SN quite often, but if you take care a lot about cross-site tracking and do not expose any of your activities, do not use content sharing using social networks, so that it will be extremelly complex to match your activity on this site with any other activities on any other sites or SN.
Google Analytics cookies
Google Analytics sets first party cookies via a piece of JavaScript code which must be added to every page that site owners want to track. It sets four cookies automatically, and a fifth via opt-in (this relates to sharing information about your traffic with Google).
NOTE, you can always use private mode in your browser to hide sensitive information about your activities. Also , you can always remove cookies manually using browser "Clean cookies" option.
Globally and in the European Union member states Google sets the following cookies:
__utma Cookie
A persistent cookie — remains on a computer, unless it expires or the cookie cache is cleared. It tracks visitors. Metrics associated with the Google __utma cookie include: first visit (unique visit), last visit (returning visit). This also includes Days and Visits to purchase calculations which afford ecommerce websites with data intelligence around purchasing sales funnels.
__utmb Cookie & __utmc Cookie
These cookies work in tandem to calculate visit length. Google __utmb cookie demarks the exact arrival time, then Google __utmc registers the precise exit time of the user.
Because __utmb counts entrance visits, it is a session cookie, and expires at the end of the session, e.g. when the user leaves the page. A timestamp of 30 minutes must pass before Google cookie __utmc expires. Given__utmc cannot tell if a browser or website session ends. Therefore, if no new page view is recorded in 30 minutes the cookie is expired.
This is a standard 'grace period' in web analytics. Ominture and WebTrends among many others follow the same procedure.
__utmz Cookie
Cookie __utmz monitors the HTTP Referrer and notes where a visitor arrived from, with the referrer siloed into type (Search engine (organic or cpc), direct, social and unaccounted). From the HTTP Referrer the __utmz Cookie also registers, what keyword generated the visit plus geolocation data.
This cookie lasts six months. In tracking terms this Cookie is perhaps the most important as it will tell you about your traffic and help with conversion information such as what source / medium / keyword to attribute for a Goal Conversion.
__utmv Cookie
Google __utmv Cookie lasts "forever". It is a persistant cookie. It is used for segmentation, data experimentation and the __utmv works hand in hand with the __utmz cookie to improve cookie targeting capabilities.
