Who We Are
Art Menagerie, an innovative platform blending the realms of art and the animal kingdom, is committed to protecting your privacy. Our website address is: https://zoomeme.art.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.

If you use a Gravatar, an anonymized string (also known as a hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify use. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media
For those uploading images to the website, we advise against uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the site.

Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t need to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

We set temporary cookies to determine if your browser accepts cookies when you visit our login page. These cookies contain no personal data and are discarded when you close your browser.

Logging in sets 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. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

Editing or publishing an article sets an additional cookie in your browser, holding no personal data—just the post ID of the article you edited, expiring after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). This content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other site.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking if you have an account and are logged into those websites.
