Privacy

This website (plasterbrain.com) is not a corporate entity that actively collects, stores, and processes your personal data for nefarious or otherwise commercial use. However, some of the services used to help power the site totally are! Check it out!

What data is collected and stored

Some very basic visitor metrics, including anonymized ID, date, referring URL, and target page for each unique visit, are collected using the GDPR-compliant plugin Statify. This data is stored in the site’s database for 30 days. We also collect the date and URL of certain posts and pages accessed by visitors in order to better keep track of useful redirects and 404s. This data contains no user information and is stored in the site’s database for 7 days.

Unlocking any password-protected content will create a cookie in accordance with the policy outlined further in this document. Choosing a site skin at the bottom of the page saves your preference in localStorage on your computer. Your preference is not uploaded to or saved on the site.

Third-Party data collection

Posts and pages on this site may contain embedded content, such as widgets and iframes, from third-party websites. Interacting with embedded third-party content may allow these websites to collect your information and store cookies on your computer in ways that are mysterious.

Cookie policy

WordPress, the software that runs this site, may store the following cookies as you browse:

wp-postpass-role_…Each of these corresponds to a password-protected post you have unlocked.1 year

Third-party cookies

This site uses Cloudflare®, a website security and performance tool that provides various tools such as CDN load balancing and DDoS protection. For more information on how Cloudflare stores and processes data, you can take a look at their Privacy Policy.

__cfduidAnonymized IP address used by Cloudflare to potentially block malicious end users.30 days

Embedded SoundCloud widgets store various cookies depending on whether you are logged in to a SoundCloud account. SoundCloud does not respect DNT preferences, but logged-in users can control which data SoundCloud collects through the communications, analytics, and advertising tabs in their account settings. If you are concerned about the potential tracking technology in SoundCloud embeds on this site, I would recommend Privacy Badger, which will block those embeds from loading until you explicitly allow them to. For more information that is mostly unhelpful, please review SoundCloud’s Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.

SoundCloud widgets store the following cookies for all users:
