Data we collect

There is no public account or sign-up. For administrators we store authentication data. We use the IP address temporarily to rate-limit login attempts. Optional cookies are described below.

Cookies

  • Strictly necessary — admin session; always active, no consent required.
  • Measurement / analytics — Microsoft Clarity (heatmaps, session replay); loaded only with consent.
  • Advertising — Google AdSense; loaded only with consent.

You can change your choices at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer.

Advertising — Google AdSense

When you consent to advertising, Google AdSense may set cookies and personalise ads. See Google's information on how it uses data from sites that use its services.

Analytics — Microsoft Clarity

When you consent to analytics, Microsoft Clarity records heatmaps and session interactions to help us improve the site, subject to Microsoft's policy.

Error tracking — Sentry

We use Sentry for technical error monitoring. Reports are scrubbed of personal data and secrets and do not set advertising cookies.

Third parties / processors

Google (AdSense), Microsoft (Clarity), Sentry (error tracking), and our host OVH SAS (OVHcloud). Article generation uses an AI provider on source content, not on visitor personal data.

Legal basis and retention

Necessary processing relies on our legitimate interest in operating the site securely; optional cookies rely on your consent. Data is kept only as long as needed for these purposes.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may request access, rectification, erasure, or object to processing. Contact contact@retro-seed.com.
