Effective Date: June 2 , 2025

Welcome to The Librica (https://thelibrica.com), a digital library offering articles on everything under the sun. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website.

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://thelibrica.com

2. Information We Collect

a. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. Their privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy.

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can extract this information.

  • When you comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies.
  • If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies (no personal data included).
  • Login and display preference cookies are also stored. These last from 2 days to 1 year depending on your activity.
  • Publishing/editing an article sets a cookie with the post ID — it expires after 1 day.

4. Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). These behave exactly like you visited the original website.
Such websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with that content.

5. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use third-party advertising companies such as Google AdSense to display ads. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing behavior — on this site and others.

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request:

  • An exported file of your data

9. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
