3. How we use information
We may use information to:
- Operate, maintain and improve poKavi.
- Understand how visitors use the website.
- Respond to questions, suggestions, corrections and business enquiries.
- Maintain the security, reliability and performance of the website.
- Analyse which content is useful to our readers.
- Display and measure advertising, where applicable.
- Measure affiliate referrals and commercial partnerships, where applicable.
- Prevent fraud, abuse and security incidents.
- Meet applicable legal, tax, accounting and regulatory requirements.
Where applicable data protection law requires a lawful basis for processing, we will rely on an appropriate basis. Depending on the circumstances, this may include consent, legitimate interests, contractual necessity or compliance with a legal obligation.
4. Analytics
poKavi may use analytics services, including services provided by Google, to understand how visitors interact with the website and to improve our content and services.
These services may process information such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser information, referral sources and interactions with the website.
Where consent is legally required for analytics cookies or similar technologies, they will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
Visitors will be provided with appropriate choices to manage consent where required.
5. Advertising and Google AdSense
poKavi may use Google AdSense and other advertising services to display advertisements.
Third-party advertising providers, including Google, may use cookies, IP addresses and similar technologies to deliver and measure advertising and, where permitted, personalise advertisements.
Advertisements may be selected based on factors including the content being viewed, general location and, where the visitor has provided the appropriate consent, previous interactions with websites or services.
Where required by applicable law, poKavi will request appropriate consent before advertising technologies that require consent are activated.
Visitors will be provided with appropriate options to accept, reject or manage relevant consent choices where required.
6. Affiliate links
Some content published on poKavi may contain affiliate links.
If you follow an affiliate link and subsequently purchase a product, subscribe to a service or complete another qualifying action, poKavi may receive a commission from the relevant provider.
Using an affiliate link will generally not increase the price you pay.
Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to determine whether a referral originated from poKavi. Where these technologies require consent, they will be subject to the appropriate consent mechanism.
We aim to clearly identify affiliate relationships where appropriate.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
poKavi may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:
- Essential website functionality.
- Security.
- Remembering visitor preferences.
- Measuring website performance.
- Analytics.
- Advertising.
- Measuring affiliate referrals.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate correctly. Other cookies, particularly those used for analytics, advertising or affiliate tracking, may require your consent.
Where consent is required, visitors will be provided with appropriate choices to accept, reject or manage relevant cookies.
WordPress may also use technical cookies necessary for website administration, security and functionality. For example, cookies may be used when an authorised administrator logs into the website. These administrative cookies primarily relate to authorised users managing poKavi rather than ordinary website visitors.
Further information about cookies and similar technologies will be available in our Cookie Policy.
8. Embedded content from other websites
Articles on poKavi may include embedded content from third-party websites, such as videos, images or other external resources.
Embedded content may behave in a similar way to visiting the third-party website directly.
Third-party providers may collect information about you, use cookies or similar technologies, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content.
If you have an account with a third-party provider and are logged into that account, the provider may also be able to associate your interaction with your account.
Where applicable, embedded content that uses non-essential cookies or tracking technologies will be managed in accordance with applicable consent requirements.
9. Third-party services
poKavi may use third-party service providers to help operate and develop the website.
These may include providers of:
- Website hosting and infrastructure.
- Email and communications.
- Analytics.
- Advertising.
- Affiliate programmes.
- Website security and performance services.
- Embedded media and content.
These providers may process personal information on our behalf or independently, depending on the service involved.
Where appropriate, we aim to use reputable providers and limit information sharing to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant service.
10. External links
poKavi may contain links to third-party websites, products and services.
When you follow an external link, the third party’s own privacy practices and terms may apply.
poKavi is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the relevant privacy information before providing personal information to a third party.
11. How long we keep information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
This may include periods necessary to:
- Respond to enquiries.
- Maintain appropriate business records.
- Operate and secure the website.
- Resolve disputes.
- Meet legal, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.
Different types of information may therefore have different retention periods.
12. Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can provide an absolute guarantee of security.
13. International data transfers
Some service providers used by poKavi may process personal information outside the United Kingdom or the country in which you live.
Where personal information is transferred internationally and applicable data protection law requires safeguards, we will use or rely on appropriate safeguards or transfer mechanisms recognised under applicable law.
14. Your privacy and data protection rights

15. Children’s privacy
poKavi is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children.

16. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as poKavi develops or when our legal, technical or commercial arrangements change.
