Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to assist with spam detection and website security.

An anonymised string (also known as a hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine whether you have an associated profile. You can view the Gravatar Privacy Policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Once your comment has been approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience.

If you leave a comment on our website, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so that you do not need to re-enter your information when leaving future comments. These cookies remain active for one year.

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

When you log into your account, additional cookies may be created to remember your login details and display preferences. Login cookies generally remain active for two days, while display preference cookies may remain active for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” will extend your login session for up to two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.

If you edit or publish content on the website, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal information and simply identifies the post that was edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles and pages on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, maps, social media feeds or articles from third-party websites.

Embedded content behaves exactly as though you have visited the originating website directly.

These external websites may:

  • Collect information about you.
  • Use cookies.
  • Employ additional third-party tracking technologies.
  • Monitor your interaction with their embedded content.
  • Track your activity if you have an account with that service and are logged in.

Plan Elite has no control over the privacy practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
