Our website address is: https://www.24storiesonline.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string, created from your email address (also known as a hash), may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, we advise you to avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract any location data from images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. This means you won’t have to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, these cookies will be removed.
Additionally, if you edit or publish an article, an extra cookie will be saved to your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and only indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking if you are logged into that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for 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 to us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
