1. Data Controller This website is operated by a private individual for purely personal, creative, and editorial purposes. As this is a non-commercial project, no VAT number or corporate entity is associated with it. For any inquiries, you can reach out via the channels provided in the contact section.

2. Data Collection and Purpose We only collect personal data if you voluntarily choose to interact with our content:

• Comments: When visitors leave comments on our articles, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.

Cookies This website utilizes strictly necessary technical cookies to ensure the platform functions properly and to remember your preferences (such as saving your details when leaving a comment, so you do not have to fill them in again). We do not use advertising, marketing, or behavioral tracking cookies.
