Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

At Artisan Styles, we believe in being straightforward about how we handle your information. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you stay in control.

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you enter in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser details. This helps us keep the conversation free of spam and ensures a better experience for everyone.

If you use a Gravatar profile, a hashed version of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to display your profile picture alongside your comment. You can review the Automattic Privacy Policy for more details on how they handle that data. Once your comment is approved, your profile image will be visible to other visitors.

Cookies

We use cookies in a few specific situations — here’s what to expect:

When you comment: You can choose to save your name, email address, and website in a cookie so you don’t have to re-enter them next time. This cookie lasts for one year.

When you visit the login page: We set a small, temporary cookie to check whether your browser supports cookies. It holds no personal data and disappears when you close your browser.

When you log in: We store a few cookies to keep you signed in and remember your display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and display preference cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your session will stay active for two weeks. Logging out removes all login cookies.

When you edit or publish content: A temporary cookie records the ID of the post you worked on. It contains no personal information and expires after one day.

Embedded Content

Some of our articles may feature embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images, or external articles. When you interact with this content, it behaves as though you’ve visited those third-party sites directly. That means those sites may collect data, set cookies, and track your activity — particularly if you’re logged into an account on their platform.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Comments and their associated metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize returning commenters and automatically approve follow-up contributions without sending them through a moderation queue.

If you create an account on our site, the personal information in your profile is stored for as long as your account remains active. You can view, update, or delete your profile information at any time — with the exception of your username. Site administrators also have access to this information for management purposes.

Your Rights

You have full control over your personal data. If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can request a complete export of the data we hold about you, or ask us to delete it entirely. Please note that this does not extend to any information we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Goes

Comments submitted on our site may be processed by an automated spam detection service to help maintain the quality and safety of our community.

If you have any questions about this policy, feel free to reach out to us through our website.
