When visitors leave comments on Brit Current, we may collect the information entered in the comment form together with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent information.

This information may be used to help identify spam, prevent abuse and maintain the security of the website.

An anonymised version of your email address may also be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use a Gravatar profile. If your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture may appear publicly alongside your comment.

Gravatar is operated by Automattic and has its own privacy policy.

Cookies

Brit Current may use cookies to improve the browsing experience and support certain website features.

Cookies are small files stored on your device by your browser.

For example, if you leave a comment, you may have the option to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This makes it easier to leave another comment without entering the same details again. These cookies may remain stored for up to one year.

The website may also use temporary or functional cookies for purposes such as:

Remembering website preferences
Managing login sessions
Supporting administrative functions
Improving website performance
Understanding how visitors interact with the website

If you log into the website, additional cookies may be created to remember your login details and display preferences.

You can normally control, block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.

Media and Image Uploads

If users are permitted to upload images to Brit Current, we recommend removing embedded location information such as EXIF GPS data before uploading them.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles published on Brit Current may contain embedded content such as:

YouTube videos
Social media posts

Other third-party content

Embedded content generally behaves in the same way as if you visited the third-party website directly.

These external websites may collect information about you, place cookies on your device, use tracking technologies or monitor your interaction with their content.

If you are logged into an account with the third-party service, that service may also associate your interaction with your existing account.

Brit Current does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites. We recommend reviewing their individual privacy policies where appropriate.
