We are running this website to inform visitors about the work of Jeny Smith. We are not interested in the data of our visitors, as long as they are not registering.
In this version of the Jeny Smith Treasure Map, only very few special users are registered and can log in, mainly the admins, publisher, reviewers and authors of blogposts. We plan to open up the website for other registered users too, and will change this privacy policy then. The following information is valid for all non-registered users.
The necessary logs and session cookies
Log information is the data we store about the users. Cookies are short text snippets that are stored in the web browser of the user's computer, tablet or smartphone.
All requests to a Joomla website start a session in which the IP address is stored in the session data and a session cookie is created in the user's browser. The IP address is used as a security measure to protect against possible session hijacking attacks. This information is deleted as soon as the session has expired and the data has been deleted. The name of the session cookie is based on a randomly generated hash and therefore does not have a constant identifier. The session cookie is deleted as soon as the session has expired or the user has left the browser.
Joomla's logging system records the visitor's IP address, which results in an entry being written to a log file. These log files are used to record various activities on a Joomla site, including information about important updates, invalid login attempts, unhandled errors and development information such as the use of outdated software or apps.
Website cookies
We only use one type of cookie to identify you after you end your browsing session on our site: if you passed the age verification check while opening our site the first time, we will store a cookie in your web browser for two weeks. So if you return to the Jeny Smith Treasure Map within 14 days, you can access our site without going through the age verification again. After 14 days, you will have to go through the age verification again.
If you do not like this cookie, you can (1) use your browser in private mode to automatically delete all cookies at the end of your session, (2) configure your browser so that you prevent such cookies except the necessary session cookies, or (3) simply delete our cookie manually (you can look it up, it is called jeny-smith-treasure-map-age-verification-2024). The only negative effect of (1), (2) or (3) is that you have to pass the age verification again every time when you visit our site.
Third-party, tracking cookies
We do not use these third-party cookies which aim at tracking you browsing through the web. We are not interested in collecting or passing such data.
