Who We Are
Welcome to Open Era News. Our website address is https://openeranews.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us with spam detection and improving user experience.
An anonymized string created from your email address (known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if you use Gravatar) will be visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images available on the site.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not store personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data, use cookies, or track your interactions with their content if you are logged in to their respective services.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments without holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold. However, this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure the safety and integrity of our site.
