About the design of the site
This site is using the WordPress theme Seo Optimizeio (version: 1.5) from the Responsive Blogily theme family created by Superb Themes.
The header image is a cropped image from the film “La sortie de l’usine Lumière à Lyon” shot by Louis Lumière in 1895 (the full image is available on wikimedia.org).
The logo owes much to the creativity of Freepik at Flaticon.

Cookies
Cookies are files with small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer’s hard drive.

If you want to leave a comment on the website 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.
Analytics
This website is monitored by Google Analytics to record information about the pages a user has seen, for example the URL of the page, time of day, device used, etc. The information collected is anonymised and sent for analysis purpose.
Google Analytics mainly uses first-party cookies to report on visitor interactions on this website. User may disable cookies or delete any individual cookie (learn more here). In addition, Google Analytics supports an optional browser add-on that – once installed and enabled – disables measurement by Google Analytics for any site a user visits. Note that this add-on only disables Google Analytics measurement.
Google Analytics also collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to provide and protect the security of the service, and to give website owners a sense of which country, state, or city in the world their users come from (also known as “IP geolocation”).
Spam detection
Visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service, which would be sent personal data. In this site we use Antispam Bee (more on this tool here).
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the contents of this comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely – this is only to allow us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
