About Us
Our website is accessible at https://qwerkly.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection. Additionally, an anonymized string generated from your email address (hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to verify its usage. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Upon approval of your comment, your profile picture will be publicly displayed alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this information from the images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, allowing you to avoid re-entering your details for future comments. These cookies remain active for one year.
When visiting our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not store any personal data and is discarded upon closing your browser. Upon logging in, additional cookies are established to store your login credentials and screen display preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, while screen options cookies persist for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login retention to two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser, containing no personal data—only the post ID of the article edited. This cookie expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may contain embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content behaves as if you have visited the originating website, which may collect data about you, use cookies, incorporate third-party tracking, and monitor interactions, including tracking if you have an account and are logged into that site.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention

For registered users, personal information provided within user profiles is stored. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time, except for usernames, which cannot be modified. Website administrators also have access to and can modify this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we store about you, including any information you have provided. You may also request the deletion of any personal data we hold, except for data retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
