This policy explains privacy on Living Diabetes, including advertising, analytics and the information you choose to provide. For privacy questions or requests, email contact@livingdiabetes.com.
Information you provide
If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the information in your message so that we can respond. Please do not send medical records, identification documents, passwords or other sensitive information in an ordinary enquiry. Living Diabetes provides general health information, not a confidential clinical consultation service.
If you use a comment, subscription or account feature offered on the site, the details requested by that feature may include your name and email address. Comments that are published are visible to other visitors. WordPress comment processing can also include an IP address and browser information for spam detection. Please avoid putting private information in a public comment.
Technical information and cookies
When you visit, your browser communicates technical information to the website and to services loaded on the page. This can include your IP address, browser and device information, the page address and information about your interaction with the page. Cookies and similar identifiers may be used for site features, analytics and advertising.
WordPress features can use cookies for login sessions, display preferences and remembering comment details. Other features and third-party services may use their own cookies. You can inspect, block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although blocking them may affect some features. Private browsing does not, by itself, stop websites or third-party services from receiving information.
Google Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics through MonsterInsights to understand visits and use of the site. Google Analytics can process information about page views, interactions, devices and approximate location, using cookies or other identifiers. This information should not be treated as inherently anonymous simply because it does not display your name.
Google explains its processing and available controls in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Google also provides a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising and your choices
Living Diabetes uses Google AdSense on parts of the site. Google and advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers and related information to deliver and measure advertising, detect fraud and, where permitted by your choices and applicable requirements, personalise ads. Google’s explanation linked above describes the information it receives and how it uses it.
Where our Google European regulations consent message is shown, you can select Consent, Do not consent or Manage options. Manage options provides more detail about purposes and partners. Declining consent does not necessarily remove every advertisement: advertising that does not depend on that consent may still be displayed.
You can revisit the advertising choices using the privacy and cookie settings control below when it is available for your region. Advertising choices are not a guarantee that every separate analytics, social or embedded service is disabled. Browser privacy controls and the providers’ own settings offer additional controls.
Google’s My Ad Center provides controls for Google ad personalisation. Those account settings do not replace your choices in a website’s consent message.
Social features and embedded content
Some pages load social features, including Facebook components, or content supplied by other websites. The provider can receive technical information when its component loads and may use its own cookies or recognise you if you are signed in to its service. Following a social-sharing link takes you to the relevant provider, whose privacy policy and settings also apply. See Meta’s Privacy Policy for Facebook services.
Who receives information
Information is received by the services involved in delivering the website and the features you use, including Google for advertising and analytics and relevant third-party providers for embedded or social features. These providers’ processing can involve systems outside your country. Their privacy notices explain their own processing, controls and international-transfer arrangements.
Retention and privacy requests
There is no single retention period stated here for every record or third-party service. To ask about information you have supplied to Living Diabetes, including its retention, access, correction or deletion, contact contact@livingdiabetes.com. Please identify the relevant enquiry, account or comment without sending unnecessary sensitive information. Available rights and any restrictions depend on the circumstances and applicable law. Requests about information held independently by another provider may need to be directed to that provider.
Deleting a browser cookie does not itself delete information already received by a website or service. Likewise, changing a current consent choice does not by itself erase information previously processed.
