Who We Are
Welcome to Mirror Magazine! Our website address is https://mirrormagazine.co.uk. We’re dedicated to providing you with a seamless and engaging experience while ensuring your privacy is protected.
Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comments form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent. This helps us with spam detection and ensures a safe environment for all users.
To enhance your experience, we may use an anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) to see if you are using the Gravatar service. The Gravatar privacy policy can be found here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you choose to upload images to our website, please be mindful to avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to our site can potentially download and extract location data from the images you upload.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience on our site. For instance, if you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This way, you won’t need to re-enter your details when you leave another comment. These cookies are set to last for one year.
Additionally, when you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we’ll set up cookies to save your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply stores the post ID of the article you just edited, expiring after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on Mirror Magazine may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the other site directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, especially if you are logged in to their site.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to enhance security and ensure the process is safe and smooth.
How Long We Retain Your Data
When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically without holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our site, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Registered users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Our website administrators also have access to this information and can edit it as needed.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure a secure and positive experience for everyone on Mirror Magazine.
