Last Revised: March 2026
If you’ve got any questions, feel free to contact us (knightsofaeterna@gmail.com), and we’ll do our best to answer.
This privacy statement (“Privacy Policy”) covers The Last Knights of Aeterna website (https://lastknightsofaeterna.co.uk/).
We use information you share with us for our internal purposes. We do not sell your information. This notice tells you what information we collect, how we use it, and steps we take to protect and secure it.
Information we automatically collect
Non-personally-identifying
Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.
We collect this to understand how our visitors use our service, and use it to make decisions about how to change and adapt the service.
From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in aggregate form (for instance, by publishing trends in site usage). We will not release individual information, only aggregate information.
Personally-identifying
We automatically collect personally-identifying information, such as IP address, provided by your browser and your computer.
We collect this information for several purposes:
- To diagnose and repair network issues with your use of the site;
- To estimate the number of users accessing the service from specific geographic regions;
Comments
When you leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
If you do leave a comment on our site, 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. These cookies will last for one year.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Disclosure of personally-identifying information
We disclose personally-identifying information only to those of our employees and contractors who (i) need to know that information in order to operate the service and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of these employees and contractors may be located outside your home country. By using this website, you consent to the transfer of your information to them.
If all of our assets were transferred or acquired, your information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party.
We may disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information when that release is required by law or by court order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the safety or rights of us, third parties, or the public at large.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. We use cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of the website, and their website access preferences.
If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies before using the site, or adjust the cookie options in the pop-up that will greet you upon your first visit to the page. The drawback of refusing all cookies is that certain features of the site may not function properly without them.
The different types of cookies:
Necessary Cookies
Cookies marked as Necessary are stored in your browser because they are essential for basic site functionality. Necessary cookies enable essential site features like secure log-ins and consent preference adjustments. They do not store personal data, so do not require your consent under GDPR.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies support features like content sharing on social media, collecting feedback, and enabling third-party tools.
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies track visitor interactions, providing insights on metrics like visitor count, bounce rate, and traffic sources. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor or user. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We only use these cookies to improve how our website, applications and services work.
Advertisement Cookies
Advertisement cookies deliver personalised ads based on your previous visits and analyse the effectiveness of ad campaigns.
NOTE: The Last Knights of Aeterna website is currently ad-free, and plans to remain so. This description is for information purposes only, as we are unable to turn off the option in our cookie plug-in for obvious reasons.
Outside Contractors
We reserve the right to contract with third-party contractors to provide site features we are unable to provide ourselves. We will only share personal information with third-party contractors to the extent that is necessary for such affiliates to provide these site features. We require our third-party contractors to provide the same level of privacy protection that we do, and they do not have the right to share or use personal information for any purpose other than for an authorised transaction. Some of our third-party contractors may be located outside of your home country. By using this website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
Our current contractors are:
- Gravatar – When you leave a comment, an anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
- A•kis•met – to reduce spam visitor comments will be checked through A•kis•met’s spam detection service. Only the information needed to carry out the function of the service will be shared. The A•kis•met service privacy policy is available here: https://akismet.com/privacy/
Transfers outside of the European Economic Area
Personal information in the European Union is protected by data protection laws but other countries do not necessarily protect your personal information in the same way.
Our website is hosted by a company with servers in the United States of America and elsewhere outside of the EEA (which means all the EU countries plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) (“EEA”) and this means that we may transfer any information which is submitted by you through the website or other services outside the EEA.
When you send an email to us, this will also be stored on email servers which might also be hosted outside of the EEA.
We may use service providers based outside of the EEA to help us provide our website and services to you and this means that we may transfer your information to service providers outside the EEA for comment streamlining and spam detection.
We take steps to ensure that where your information is transferred outside of the EEA by our service providers and hosting providers, appropriate measures and controls are in place to protect that information in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations. In each case, such transfers are made in accordance with the requirements of Regulations (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulations or “GDPR”) and may be based on the use of the European Commission’s Standard Model Clauses for transfers of personal data outside the EEA.
By using our website, products or services or by interacting with us in the ways described in this Privacy Notice, you consent to the transfer of your information outside the EEA in the circumstances set out in this Privacy Notice. If you do not want your information to be transferred outside the EEA you should not use our website.
Deleting your information
If you have left comments on this site, 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.
Other sites and social media
If you follow a link from our website or service to another website or service, this notice will no longer apply. We are not responsible for the information handling practices of third-party sites or services and we encourage you to read the privacy notices appearing on those sites or services.
Changes
We may change our privacy policy from time to time. Please check this page regularly to stay abreast of any changes which might take place. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
