About this page

In accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this page outlines any and all details about what information is collected about you while browsing this website (https://sorenskott.net).

What is a cookie?

(From Wikipedia): HTTP cookies (also called web cookies, Internet cookies, browser cookies, or simply cookies) are small blocks of data created by a web server while a user is browsing a website and placed on the user’s computer or other device by the user’s web browser. Cookies are placed on the device used to access a website, and more than one cookie may be placed on a user’s device during a session.

Cookies serve useful and sometimes essential functions on the web. They enable web servers to store stateful information (such as items added to the shopping cart in an online store) on the user’s device or to track the user’s browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past). They can also be used to save for subsequent use information that the user previously entered into form fields, such as names, addresses, passwords, and payment card numbers.

What data is collected?

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Performance & analytics

The site uses Google Analytics for performance and statistical purposes only. You can read Google’s privacy policy here.

Commenting

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Contact form

When you contact me through my website using the contact form on the “contact me” page, your message, including name and email, is sent directly to me and will not be used for any marketing or analytical purposes. Any messages that I receive are stored indefinitely, with the exception upon manual deletion.

How your Data is Protected

What little data you might leave on my website is protected using a 256-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, which is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between a web server and browsers remain private and integral. SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online visitors.

Rights to your data

You have the rights to a copy of the data you have left on my website. You can request a copy of your data by sending an inquiry to privacy@sorenskott.net.

Opt out of cookies

On your first visit to my website, you will be given a choice whether you want to opt in or out of any performance or analytic cookies that are enabled on this website. You will always have the option to change your mind at any time by clicking the preferences setting located in the bottom right corner of any webpages you visit on this domain (sorenskott.net).

Addendum

I reserve the right to change any of the above terms at any point in time I choose to do so, with or without notifying of said changes.
