Privacy Policy
At Carnivalism (https://carnivalism.co.uk), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy outlines what we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it – all in accordance with UK data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymised string (hash) of your email address may be sent to Gravatar to check for a profile. Their privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if you have one) may appear next to it.
Media
If you upload images to the site, please avoid uploading files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract that information.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience. Here’s how:
-
If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email and website in cookies. These last for one year.
-
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. It’s deleted when you close your browser.
-
When you log in, we set cookies to save your login info and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days (or two weeks if you select “Remember Me”). Screen options cookies last for a year.

If you edit or publish an article, a cookie with the post ID will be stored in your browser. It expires after one day.
You can manage or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the other website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with their content – particularly if you’re logged in to their service. Please refer to their own privacy policies.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically.
If you register on the site (if enabled), we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can view, edit or delete your personal information at any time, except your username. Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for legal or security purposes.
To make a data request, please email: hi@carnivalism.co.uk
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Where possible, your data stays within the UK or with trusted providers who comply with UK GDPR.
