This Privacy Policy explains what information IT Magazine (itmagazineme.com) collects and how we use it. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible.
Information we collect
- Analytics: we use Google Analytics to count visits and see which articles are read. It sets cookies and receives your IP address, browser type and the pages you view. You can opt out with Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Advertising: we show ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can turn off personalised ads at adssettings.google.com. More detail: policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
- Comments: if you leave a comment, we store the name, email address and content you submit so we can display and moderate it.
- Contact: if you email us, we retain your message to respond and, where relevant, to process a correction.
- Server logs: our host records standard technical logs (IP address, browser, timestamp) for security and reliability.
Cookies
Google Analytics and Google AdSense set cookies as described above. The only preference we store ourselves is your light or dark theme choice, which stays in your browser and is never sent to us. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
How we use information
We use the information above to operate and secure the site, respond to enquiries, moderate comments and understand overall readership. We do not sell your personal data.
Third parties
Some functionality relies on third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense and our hosting provider), which process data on our behalf under their own terms. Outbound links to source articles lead to third-party sites with their own privacy policies.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you by emailing editor@itmagazineme.com.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time; material changes will be reflected on this page.
