# Our Privacy and Cookie Policy (proposed) - Version 2.0
|
|
|
|
*We do like cookies very much. They taste good. \*Crunch\**
|
|
|
|
Jokes aside, you probably know that a lot of websites process some of your data and use so called cookies to store information on your computer. So do we. It is necessary for our website to function properly and securely.
|
|
|
|
The following will explain what of your data we use and why. We collect and process your information to provide useful features to you or to improve security and stability of our service. In case you want to have insight in the information we know about you, you may ask us on the support&contact forum. If you want us to correct or delete your data, this would be the place to go, as well.
|
|
|
|
This document will probably change in the future. Although we will try to inform you about changes in advance, we reserve the right to change this policy without notice at any moment. As we are not any of these big, data hungry companies, we will not ask you to come back to this site and look for changes yourself. If we change this policy, it will be announced on our support&contacts forum.
|
|
|
|
@devs: So, my reasoning behind this is that we can change the policy in case of an emergency. The support&contact forum I am mentioning in multiple sections of this file will be for general announcements, support, contact with us etc. If there is another word describing all of that in one, please let me know.

## What information we store or process:
|
|
* Your session: Sessions are used to tell users apart. This is very important when providing dynamic content as it allows to show different pages to different people at the same time. Without sessions, all users would see the same page at the same URL. This would for obvious reasons be unpractical on a forum platform.
|
|
* Your connection metadata: We use some of the connection metadata to make our website more secure. This is optional and can be reduced or turned off completely for registered users.
|
|
* The information you give us directly: Just in case you did not know that... We do save your user profile. Really. Actually, this is the only point of having a profile so that other users can look at what information you provided if they want to. This is optional. You decide what information you want on your profile.
|
|
|
|
## Information we may collect in the future:
|
|
* Anonymized usage statistics: In case we experience technical difficulties, we can collect statistics about what parts of our website are used in which way. This can be useful for troubleshooting (example: Statistics show that a new feature never gets used because we forgot to put a link) or finding the root cause of problems (example: We need to locate a buggy script that was not originally intended for the use most users use it for). |
