🍪 Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience on our website. Here’s how and why:

When You Leave a Comment

You may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year, saving you time when leaving future comments.

When You Visit the Login Page

We place a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded once you close your browser.

We set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences:

  • Login cookies last 2 days

When You Edit or Publish Content

An additional cookie is stored in your browser that contains the post ID of the article you edited. This cookie expires after 1 day and contains no personal information.

🔗 Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our content may include embedded media such as videos, images, or articles from third-party websites. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction—just as if you visited those websites directly.

If you’re logged into those third-party platforms (like YouTube, Vimeo, or Medium), they may track your engagement with the embedded content on CAIOz.com.

We recommend reviewing their individual privacy policies before interacting with embedded media.

🤝 Who We Share Your Data With

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

However, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to validate the request and prevent misuse.

🗂 How Long Do We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically without manual moderation.

For registered users, we store personal information in your user profile. You may view, edit, or delete your data at any time—except for your username, which is fixed. Website administrators may also access and edit this information to maintain system integrity.

If you have an account on CAIOz.com or have left comments, you have the right to:

  • Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you
  • Request that we erase any personal data we have on file

This does not include data we are required to retain for legal, security, or administrative reasons.

🌍 Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be analyzed by automated spam detection services, including external plugins or services designed to protect the site from malicious content and abuse.

We also use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to monitor user behavior anonymously and enhance user experience. These tools may collect browser type, device, IP address (in anonymized form), and visit duration.
