Comments

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

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here:

After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images published on the website.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies to improve website functionality, analyse website usage, and provide a better experience for visitors.

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you do not need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we may set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will remain active for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply identifies the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain website features.

Analytics

We use analytics services to understand how visitors use our website and to improve our content and user experience.

These services may collect information such as:

• pages visited
• time spent on the website
• browser type
• device information
• approximate location
• referral sources

This information is collected in an aggregated or anonymised form where possible and is not used to personally identify individual visitors.

Newsletter and email communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and any information you voluntarily provide.

We use this information to:

• send newsletters and updates
• share website content and resources
• communicate relevant information about Fontology

You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in each email.

We use third-party email service providers to manage newsletter subscriptions and communications. These providers process your information securely according to their own privacy policies.

Affiliate links and advertising

Some links on this website may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you make a purchase through certain links, at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate partnerships help support Fontology and allow us to continue creating free content. We only recommend products, services, or resources that we believe may be valuable to our readers.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, articles, or other media.

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the external website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, include third-party tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with their content.

Examples may include platforms such as YouTube, social media services, or other external websites.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

Your information may be shared with trusted service providers that help us operate our website, such as:

• website hosting providers
• email newsletter providers
• analytics providers
• spam prevention services

If you request a password reset, your IP address may 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 retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except their username. Website administrators may also access and manage this information.

Newsletter subscription information is retained until you unsubscribe or request removal.

GDPR and your data protection rights

If you are located in the UK or European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

• request access to the personal information we hold about you
• request correction of inaccurate information
• request deletion of your personal information
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• object to certain types of processing
• request restriction of processing
• request a copy of your personal data in a portable format

To exercise these rights, please contact us at:

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Some information may also be processed by third-party providers used for website functionality, analytics, newsletter delivery, and security purposes. These providers may process data outside the UK or EEA while maintaining appropriate safeguards.
