Privacy Policy
Why do we have a privacy policy? You might also ask why do we have a cookies policy? We can say that some polemic expressions like “online privacy” and those not so delicious “cookies” became software education in modern society.
A privacy policy is essential, although we do not collect data about visitors on our website. The problem is that if we did not take the time to write this privacy policy, our visitors might assume that we are secretly collecting data without informing them, which could be detrimental to our activities.
Privacy is a major concern for modern consumers, whether they are purchasing products or services. People want to know if websites collect information about them, what that data might be, how it is stored and if it is used, somehow.
Here are some statistics demonstrating the growing consumer demand for transparency from companies regarding personal data:
- 79% of North Americans say that they are concerned about how companies use their personal data.
- 60% of consumers say they would spend more money with a brand they trust to manage their information responsibly.
- 48% of consumers have stopped purchasing from a company due to privacy concerns.
- 84% of consumers are more loyal to companies with strong security controls.
We believe that a clear, concise and easy-to-understand statement of terms & conditions and a robust privacy policy builds trust between our company and our website visitors and customers. Our transparency helps our visitors or future associates feel safe when visiting our website.

Blog Comments
When visitors leave comments on our technology Blog articles, we collect the data shown in the comments form and the visitor’s IP address. We might trace the browser user agent string to help facilitate the review and spam detection.
When people say they want “to detect the browser”, often what they really want is “to detect the rendering engine“.
So, do you actually want to detect Firefox, as opposed to the SeaMonkey, or Chrome as opposed to Chromium? Or do you want to see if the browser is using the Gecko or the WebKit rendering engine?
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash in English) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy
After validation of your comment, your Gravatar profile photo is publicly visible next to your comment on our Blog.

Cloudflare Cookies
We use Cloudflare as CDN and Firewall. Cloudflare may use various cookies to optimize network resources, manage traffic, and protect our customers’ sites from malicious traffic. We have configured the Cloudflare Firewall to use only one security cookie: cf_clearance

This cookie is used to stop issuing challenges if present on your device, which means that while you are visiting our website, Cloudflare will not check if you are a malicious visitor, every second. The cf_clearance cookie is also necessary to reach our origin server, the cookie is an integral part of our defence system and helps to ensure your security.
