Who we are
Our website address is: https://www..waladi.com.au.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
How long do we retain your data?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights do you have over your data?
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Analytics and Advertising
We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage analytics and marketing tags on our website. GTM does not collect personal information itself, but it allows other tags (such as Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads) to collect data about your interactions with our site.
These tools help us understand visitor behaviour, measure advertising performance, and improve your experience.
Data collected through these tags may include:
- Your IP address
- Device and browser type
- Pages visited and time spent on them
- Referring site or campaign information
This information may be shared with Google and other third-party service providers that help us with analytics and marketing.
You can learn how Google uses this data here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
If you’d like to opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Facebook Pixel and Advertising
We use the Facebook Pixel to help us understand how visitors interact with our website and to show relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram.
This may involve collecting information such as:
- Pages you visit
- Products you view or add to cart
- Purchases or other interactions on our website
This information helps us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and show you ads that are more relevant to your interests.
Data collected through the Facebook Pixel is shared with Meta Platforms, Inc., and handled according to Meta’s privacy policy, which you can review here:
