Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Here’s how they work:

  • Comment Cookies: When you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These last for one year.

  • Login Cookies: A temporary cookie is created on the login page to check browser compatibility. It’s deleted when the browser closes. Once logged in, we store:

    • Login session cookies (last for 2 days)

    • Display preference cookies (last for 1 year)

    • “Remember Me” logins (last for 2 weeks)

  • Publishing Cookies: Editing or publishing an article sets a cookie with the post ID. It doesn’t store personal data and expires after 1 day.

You can manage or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Embedded Content

Our articles may feature content from other platforms (e.g., videos, images, external articles). Interacting with these embeds is equivalent to visiting the original websites, which may collect data, track usage, or use cookies — especially if you’re logged in to those platforms.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security and verification purposes.

Data Retention

  • Comments: Your comments and related metadata are stored indefinitely to auto-approve follow-up responses.

  • User Profiles: If you register an account, your provided personal information is saved in your profile. You may view, edit, or delete your information anytime — except for your username. Site administrators also have access to edit this data.

Your Data Rights

If you’ve left comments or created an account with Koinoniabyzazel, you may request:

  • A copy of your stored personal data

  • The deletion of your data (excluding information we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security reasons)

To request either, please contact us at: [email protected]

Spam Protection

Comments submitted to our site may be automatically scanned by anti-spam systems to prevent abuse and protect the platform.
