Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

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 do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply contains the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

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.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. How long we retain your data

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

Google Analytics

A Google Analytics cookie is used on this website.

Privacy Policy and Analytics

Techword uses Google Analytics. This program provides key statistics about the number of visitors, the pages visited, the traffic sources and other essential information that allows us to continually improve this website for the users. These statistics are anonymous and cannot be traced back to a specific person or user. No use is made of ‘behavioural targeting’, which allows you to see special content based on your click behaviour; your surfing behaviour remains completely anonymous. Data from contact forms is never processed or stored in Analytics.

Google Analytics uses a cookie. We have set up Google Analytics in accordance with privacy legislation, so that no prior permission from the user is required. IP addresses are masked and data is not shared.

The Google Analytics cookie is a ‘first party cookie’, which means that the cookie is officially owned by techword.nl and not by Google. This cookie is not used for advertisements or other commercial purposes. techword.nl has a processing agreement with Google. In addition, Google Analytics is set up in such a way that IP addresses are made anonymous, so that data can never be traced back to you or your IP address. Furthermore, no information is shared with Google or other parties from the Analytics account of techword.nl. This makes the Analytics cookie a non-privacy sensitive first-party cookie that is necessary to guarantee quality and safety. The Analytics cookie remains valid for 6 months.

Opt-out

If you would rather block the Analytics script completely, you can download an opt-out plugin for Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. With this plugin, your visit will no longer be included in the statistics of all websites that use Google Analytics.
