This website is hosted on Blogger, a service provided by Google. Google may independently collect and process information when visitors use this website, in accordance with Google's own privacy policies.

Information collected when you visit this website

When you visit this website, Google/Blogger may automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser type and version, device information, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit.

Google states that information including IP addresses, user-agent details, and performance and security metrics may be used to operate its services, generate usage statistics, maintain service quality and detect abuse.

We do not operate visitor accounts or require visitors to register.

Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses the Blogger platform, which may use cookies and similar technologies to operate its services.

Google displays a cookie notification on Blogger websites for visitors in relevant jurisdictions. The notification explains that visitor information, including IP addresses and user-agent details, may be shared with Google alongside performance and security metrics.

We do not currently use Google Analytics or Google AdSense. We therefore do not use these services to provide website analytics or advertising.

Google may nevertheless use cookies and similar technologies in connection with the operation of Blogger and other Google services.

Visitors can manage cookies through their browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality. Browser controls do not necessarily replace any consent required for non-essential cookies.

Comments

Comments are provided through Blogger and require a Google account.

If you leave a comment, Blogger may display the name and profile information associated with the Google account you use. Google may also process your IP address and other information in connection with comments.

Please remember that comments are publicly visible. Do not include personal or confidential information in a comment.

Google's processing of this information is governed by its own privacy policies.

Contact by email

If you email theuntoldbattles@gmail.com, we receive the information you choose to provide, which may include your name, email address and the contents of your message.

We use this information to respond to enquiries, investigate reported historical inaccuracies and manage correspondence.

Our legal basis for processing this information is generally our legitimate interests in operating the publication, responding to communications and maintaining the accuracy of our published material.

We retain correspondence only for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with the enquiry, investigate the matter and maintain relevant correction records, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Analytics and advertising

We do not currently use Google Analytics, and we do not currently display advertisements through Google AdSense. No Google AdSense account is connected to this website.

If analytics or advertising services are introduced in future, this policy will be updated to explain the relevant information collection, cookies, data sharing and available privacy choices.

Where applicable, Google and other advertising providers may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or other identifiers to deliver and measure advertisements, including advertisements based on previous visits to websites.
