douli.com is a personal professional blog run by Delphine Ragazzi. This page explains what data this site collects, why, and what your rights are under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
If you have questions or want to exercise any of the rights below, email douli@douli.com.
Who is responsible for this data?
Data controller: Delphine Ragazzi
Contact: douli@douli.com
Established in: Ireland
As a personal blog with no commercial data processing at scale, no Data Protection Officer is required.
What data this site collects
Analytics — Matomo (self-hosted)
This site uses Matomo Analytics, installed directly on the douli.com server. Matomo records standard web analytics data: pages visited, approximate location (country/city level), browser type, device type, and how you arrived at the site (referrer).
Matomo is configured with IP anonymisation enabled — the last two octets of your IP address are removed before storage. No analytics data is sent to a third-party server. It stays on douli.com.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest (understanding how the site is used in aggregate to improve content).
Cookie consent — CookieYes
This site uses CookieYes to manage cookie consent. CookieYes stores a small cookie on your device to remember your preferences. It does not share your data with third parties.
Spam protection — Akismet
If you leave a comment on this site, Akismet (by Automattic) processes the comment text, your name, email address, website URL, and IP address to check whether it’s spam. Akismet is a US-based service; data is transferred under standard contractual clauses. Automattic’s privacy policy is at automattic.com/privacy.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest (preventing spam in a publicly visible comment section).
Translation — GTranslate
This site offers optional language translation powered by GTranslate, which uses the Google Translate API. If you use the translation feature, the page content you are viewing is sent to Google’s servers for translation. Google’s privacy policy applies: policies.google.com/privacy.
Translation is off by default. If you don’t use the translate button, no data is sent to Google.
Legal basis: Consent (you initiate translation by clicking the translate button).
Image optimisation — Imagify
Images uploaded to this site are compressed using Imagify. When an image is uploaded, it is sent to Imagify’s servers for processing and returned in optimised format. Imagify does not retain images beyond the processing operation. Imagify’s privacy policy: imagify.io/privacy.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest (site performance). This processing applies to site administration only — no visitor data is involved.
Caching — WP Rocket
This site uses WP Rocket to cache pages for performance. WP Rocket does not collect or transmit personal data. It stores cached files on the server only.
Hosting and server logs
Like any website, douli.com’s hosting provider may retain standard server logs (IP address, timestamp, pages requested, HTTP status codes). These are used for security and technical diagnostics, are not used for marketing, and are deleted on a rolling basis per the hosting provider’s data retention policy.
What this site does not do
- No advertising. douli.com carries no ads and does not share data with advertising networks.
- No selling of data. No personal data collected on this site is sold or rented to third parties.
- No newsletter (currently). A newsletter may be added in future — this policy will be updated before that happens.
- No user accounts. You cannot create an account on this site. No login data is stored.
Cookies
This site uses the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary: Required for the site to function (WordPress session cookies, CookieYes consent cookie). These do not require consent.
- Analytics: Matomo analytics cookies, set only with your consent or under legitimate interest with opt-out available (see above).
- Functional: GTranslate language preference cookie, set only if you use the translation feature.
You can manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time using the cookie settings button on this site, or by clearing cookies in your browser settings.
Your rights under GDPR
As a person in the EU/EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of access: You can request a copy of any personal data held about you.
- Right to rectification: You can ask for inaccurate data to be corrected.
- Right to erasure: You can ask for your data to be deleted, subject to any legal obligations to retain it.
- Right to restriction: You can ask for processing to be paused while a complaint is resolved.
- Right to object: You can object to processing based on legitimate interest. If you object to Matomo analytics, use the opt-out above.
- Right to portability: Where data is processed by automated means with your consent, you can request it in a portable format.
To exercise any of these rights, email douli@douli.com. Requests will be responded to within 30 days.
Complaints
If you believe your data has been handled unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (Ireland): dataprotection.ie.
