At Savory Splash, we prioritize your privacy protection. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, transfer, and storage of your information. We encourage you to read this policy thoroughly and contact us with any questions or concerns.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on Savory Splash, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.

The system may transmit an anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address to the Gravatar service to verify its usage. You can find the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you choose to upload images to Savory Splash, please be mindful to avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). This is important because users visiting the site can download and extract any location data from the images available on the website.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website information in cookies. This feature is designed for your convenience, so you won’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will remain active for one year.

Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, our system establishes several cookies to store your login details and display preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, while display option cookies persist for a year. If you choose ‘Remember Me,’ your login session will last for two weeks. Please note that logging out of your account will automatically remove these cookies.

When you edit or publish an article on our website, our system sets an additional cookie in your browser. This cookie, which contains no personal data, signifies the post ID of the article you recently edited and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on Savory Splash may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles sourced from other websites. This embedded content functions as if the visitor has directly visited those external websites.

These websites can collect data about you, use cookies, integrate additional third-party tracking mechanisms, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This monitoring includes tracking your engagement, especially if you have an account and are logged into those specific websites.

Data Sharing

Additionally, website administrators can view and edit this information as well.
