europepulse.eu is an independent, non-commercial website. This page explains what personal data the site collects, why it is collected, and what you can do about it.
Who is responsible
The site is operated privately from within the European Union. For any question about this policy or about your data, write to europe_pulse@pm.me.
What this site does not do
We do not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, advertising networks or social media tracking pixels. We do not build visitor profiles, and we do not sell or share personal data for marketing purposes.
Server logs
Our hosting provider records standard access data: IP address, date and time of the request, the page requested, and browser and operating system information. This is necessary to operate and secure the site and is retained only as long as needed for that purpose. Legal basis: legitimate interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Security
The site uses Wordfence to protect against attacks. It records IP addresses and details of suspicious or blocked requests. Legal basis: legitimate interest in keeping the site secure.
Cookies and consent
We use CookieYes to ask for your consent before any non-essential cookie is set. WordPress also sets a small number of functional cookies that are necessary for the site to work; these do not require consent. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the cookie banner.
Embedded video
Articles may embed video hosted by YouTube, operated by Google Ireland Limited. When a video is loaded, YouTube may set cookies and will receive your IP address. This happens only after you have accepted the relevant cookie category.
Comments and avatars
If you leave a comment, the name, email address and IP address you submit are stored together with the comment. Comment avatars are served by Gravatar, operated by Automattic; a hashed form of your email address may be sent to that service.
Contact forms
If you use a contact form, the information you enter is sent to us by email and kept only as long as necessary to answer you.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you may request access to your personal data, its correction or erasure, restriction of processing, or you may object to processing. Write to europe_pulse@pm.me. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Slovakia this is the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic.
