Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

IP Addresses and Statistics
Ads on the WBJC.com site are self-hosted. We use the plug-in AdRotate (Pro) to serve ads. AdRotate (Pro) stores IP addresses for up to 24 hours to track impressions and clicks. If the plugin is working properly this data is removed after 24 hours. These records are not easily accessible by end-users. Website administrators also have no direct access to this data. The cleanup is governed by wp-cron.
As mentioned before, AdRotate (Pro) stores the visitors IP Address for a limited time. Other than that, statistics are anonymous and just dumb numbers. So there you have it, both AdRotate Pro and AdRotate Free are compatible with GDPR.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
