Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 20, 2026 · Last updated: October 20, 2026

Argentine Unveiled (https://argentineunveiled.blog, “the blog”) cares about your privacy and handles only the minimum personal data it needs. This policy explains, in plain terms, what is collected and why, how long it is kept, who it is shared with, and what rights you have. When there is a material change, a summary will be shown at the top of this page.

1. Who runs this blog

  • Operator: the operator of Argentine Unveiled
  • Contact email: artcompanybsas@gmail.com
  • Website: https://argentineunveiled.blog

2. What personal data we collect

The blog has no user registration. Only the following data may be collected or processed:

  • When you comment: your name or nickname, email address, (optional) website, the comment itself, your IP address and browser user-agent string, and the date and time.
  • When you email us: your email address, your name (if you include it), and the content of your message and any attachments. There is no contact form on the blog; inquiries are by email only.
  • Cookies and device data (collected automatically): cookie and similar identifiers, IP address, browser and operating system, device information, pages visited and time of visit, referring site, approximate location (country/city level), ad impressions and clicks, and your cookie-consent choices.
  • Server logs: access logs our hosting provider keeps automatically for security and operations (IP address, requested URL, time, browser information, etc.).

We never ask for government ID numbers or sensitive data. Please do not include such information in your emails.

3. Why we use it

  • Answering inquiries: to reply to your questions, suggestions, and collaboration requests.
  • Providing comments: to publish and moderate comments and, if you opt in, remember your details for next time.
  • Visitor statistics: to understand which articles are read and improve the content (Google Analytics).
  • Advertising: to show ads that help fund the blog and, where you consent, interest-based (personalized) ads (Google AdSense).
  • Affiliate links: so that partners can attribute purchases or sign-ups and pay commissions.
  • Spam prevention and security: to block spam comments and malicious traffic and keep the site safe.
  • Consent management: to record and respect your cookie choices.

4. How long we keep it

We delete personal data once its purpose is fulfilled. Specific periods:

  • Comments and related data: kept while the comment is published; deleted promptly on request. Unapproved spam is deleted after review.
  • Inquiry emails: kept for up to 3 years after the inquiry is resolved (so we have context if you write again), or deleted sooner on request.
  • Analytics (Google Analytics): according to the Google Analytics data-retention setting (GA4 default 2 months, maximum 14 months). Aggregated reports do not identify individuals.
  • Cookies: until each cookie expires — e.g. the comment-details cookie lasts 1 year, consent records typically up to 13 months, and Google advertising/analytics cookies from the end of the session up to 13 months (some up to 2 years). You can delete them in your browser at any time.
  • Server logs: kept for a limited period under the hosting provider’s retention policy for security and troubleshooting, then deleted automatically.
  • Where the law requires longer retention, data is kept for that period.

5. Third parties and processors

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for other purposes except where required by law. The following services process data on our behalf or collect it directly through cookies:

  • Google AdSense (Google LLC): serves ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. With consent you may see personalized ads; without it, non-personalized (limited) ads. Learn more: How Google uses cookies in advertising.
  • Google Analytics and Google Site Kit (Google LLC): visitor statistics and search performance (Search Console). How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
  • Google Fonts and YouTube (Google LLC): some fonts are loaded from Google servers and some articles embed YouTube videos, so your IP address and similar data are sent to Google; YouTube may set its own cookies when a video is played.
  • UniConsent (consent management platform): shows the cookie-consent dialog to visitors from the EU/EEA, UK, and Switzerland and records and signals your choices under the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF).
  • Awin and other affiliate programs (Binance, Gumroad, etc.): some links are affiliate links. When you click one, the destination site or affiliate network (such as Awin) may use cookies or tracking parameters to record the click and any purchase. We never receive your name or payment details — only aggregated commission data. What happens after the click is governed by that site’s privacy policy.
  • Hostinger (web hosting): stores and runs the website data (including comments) and server logs.
  • Gravatar (Automattic Inc.): when you comment, an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to Gravatar to check for a profile picture.
  • Google (Gmail): receives and stores inquiry emails.

International transfers: these providers may store data on servers outside your country (for example in the United States or the EU). Where required, they rely on safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. If you do not want this, you can refuse consent or block cookies, although some features (such as video playback) may not work.

6. Cookies and how to refuse them

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. We use them for:

  • Essential: recording your consent choice, security, and basic site functions.
  • Functional: remembering your name and email for comments (if you tick the box).
  • Analytics: Google Analytics visitor statistics.
  • Advertising: ad delivery and measurement by Google AdSense and third-party vendors, including personalized ads.
  • Affiliate: set by destination sites or affiliate networks after you click an affiliate link.

You can refuse or change cookies at any time:

  • Reopen consent settings: if you visit from the EU/EEA, UK, or Switzerland, click the cookie-settings badge on screen to change or withdraw your consent.
  • Browser settings: delete or block cookies in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc. Blocking all cookies may break some features.
  • Google ad settings: turn off personalized ads at Google Ad Settings.
  • Opt out of third-party vendors: www.aboutads.info (US) and www.youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
  • Google Analytics opt-out: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7. Your rights

You can ask at any time to access, correct, or delete your personal data, to stop or restrict processing, or to withdraw consent. Email artcompanybsas@gmail.com; after a simple identity check (for example, replying from the email you used to comment), we will act without undue delay and within 30 days at the latest.

If you are in the EU/EEA or the UK, under the GDPR and UK GDPR you also have the right to restriction, objection (in particular to personalized ads and analytics), and data portability, and you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Our legal bases are consent for cookies, personalized ads, and analytics, and legitimate interests for publishing comments, answering inquiries, security, and spam prevention. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.

The blog is not directed at children under 14 (or the applicable age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their data.

8. Privacy contact

Please send any privacy questions, complaints, or requests to the address above. This is a one-person blog, so a reply may take a few days, but every message is read personally.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when laws or the blog change. Updates are posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date, and material changes (such as new data types or third parties) are summarized at the top of the page.
