This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit Estadistico (https://estadistico.com), how it is used, which third-party services are involved and what choices you have. In this policy, “Estadistico”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to this website and its operator. Our use of cookies is explained in the Cookies section below.
Information we collect
Information collected automatically
When you visit the website, our web server and our content delivery and security provider, Cloudflare, automatically process technical information sent by your browser. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the page you request, the referring page and the date and time of your visit. We need this information to deliver the website to you, keep it secure and fix technical problems. Our server logs are kept for a limited period and then deleted.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the information shown in the comment form (your name, your email address and, optionally, a website address). We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. Your name, website and comment are shown publicly. Your email address is not published.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service, operated by Automattic, to check whether you have a Gravatar profile picture. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is shown publicly next to your comment. You can read Automattic’s privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Newsletter sign-up
If you sign up through the subscription form at the bottom of our pages, we collect your email address and use it only to send you updates from Estadistico. You can ask us to remove your email address at any time.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Estadistico itself uses only a few cookies, and most of them are set only when you use a specific feature. Advertising cookies are set by Google and its partners, as explained in the Advertising section.
- comment_author_{hash}, comment_author_email_{hash}, comment_author_url_{hash} (WordPress, about one year): remember your name, email address and website so that you do not have to type them again the next time you comment. They are set only if you tick “Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment” when you comment.
- nectar_love_{post ID} (website theme, long-term): set only when you click the heart button on an article, so that the same like is not counted twice.
- wordpress_logged_in_*, wordpress_sec_*, wordpress_test_cookie, wp-settings-* (WordPress, from the end of your session up to 14 days; screen settings up to one year): used only for editors and administrators who log in to manage the website. They are not set for regular visitors.
- __cf_bm, cf_clearance (Cloudflare, short-term): security cookies that help tell people apart from automated bots and protect the website against malicious traffic. Cloudflare sets them only when needed.
- Advertising cookies such as __gads, __gpi or IDE (Google and its advertising partners, duration varies): used to show and measure ads, limit how often you see the same ad, prevent fraud and, where permitted, show personalized ads. For details, see how Google uses cookies.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block cookies, some features may not work as expected. For example, the comment form will not remember your details. Where the law requires consent for advertising cookies, for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, these cookies are used only after you have given consent through the consent message shown on the website. You can change your choice at any time.
Advertising
Estadistico may display ads served by Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this website and/or other websites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or, in Europe, www.youronlinechoices.eu.
Other third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on this website through Google AdSense. They may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, as well as information such as your IP address, to deliver and measure ads. Google publishes the list of ad technology partners it works with, and you can use the opt-out pages listed above to opt out of their use of cookies for personalized advertising.
If you opt out of personalized advertising, you will still see ads, but they will not be based on your interests. Non-personalized ads may still use cookies to limit how often an ad is shown, to produce aggregated reports and to prevent fraud.
To learn more, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and how Google uses advertising data. Google and its partners process this information under their own privacy policies.
Analytics
Estadistico does not currently use Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics service. If we start using one, we will update this Privacy Policy first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent.
Other third-party services
- Cloudflare delivers the website and protects it against attacks. It processes technical information such as your IP address. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts: the fonts used on this website are loaded from Google’s servers, so your browser sends your IP address and browser information to Google. See the Google Privacy Policy.
- Gravatar: profile pictures of authors and commenters are loaded from Gravatar (Automattic), which receives your IP address and browser information. See the Automattic Privacy Policy.
- Embedded content: some articles include embedded content, such as videos, from other websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website. That website may collect data about you, use cookies, add third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in there.
- Sharing buttons and external links: the share buttons on our articles are simple links. No information is sent to a social network unless you click one. When you follow a link to another website, that website’s own privacy policy applies.
How we use information
- To deliver, maintain and secure the website and fix technical problems.
- To publish and moderate comments and to protect the website against spam.
- To send you the updates you signed up for.
- To display advertising, measure its performance and prevent fraud.
- To comply with legal obligations.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases: our legitimate interest in running a secure, working website (for server logs, security and comment moderation); your consent (for the newsletter, optional cookies and personalized advertising where consent is required); and compliance with legal obligations. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
How we share information
We do not sell or rent the personal information you give us directly, such as your email address or your comment details. We share information only with the service providers described in this policy, to the extent they need it to provide their services; when required by law or to protect rights and safety; or publicly, where you choose to publish it in a comment.
How long we keep information
- Comments: comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely, so that follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically instead of waiting in a moderation queue.
- Newsletter: your email address is kept until you ask us to remove it.
- Server logs: kept for a limited period for security and maintenance, then deleted.
- Cookies: see the Cookies section.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you and receive a copy of it;
- correct inaccurate information;
- ask us to delete your information;
- object to or restrict certain processing, and receive your information in a portable format;
- withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on it;
- opt out of personalized or targeted advertising, using the links in the Advertising section;
- lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Residents of California and other U.S. states with privacy laws may also have the right to know what personal information is collected about them and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising.
If you have left comments on this website, you can ask for a file with the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us, or ask us to erase it. This does not include data we must keep for administrative, legal or security purposes. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We may need to verify your identity before we respond.
International data transfers
Some of the service providers mentioned in this policy, such as Google, Cloudflare and Automattic, may process information in the United States or in other countries outside your own. These providers use recognized legal mechanisms for international transfers, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
Children’s privacy
Estadistico is intended for adults. It is not directed at children under 13, or under the minimum age required in your country, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us so that we can delete it.
Security
The website is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and we take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or of electronic storage is completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add or change services such as advertising or analytics. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
