EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM SPOTIFY AND OTHER WEBSITES
Pages on this site may include embedded music players from the music streaming service Spotify. Embedded content from external websites such as Spotify behave in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website. Spotify may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

When logging in through the custom Spotify players found in the book chapters of Spinning Gold, the authorization that appears is required by Spotify. The stipulations mentioned in the authorization may be implemented by Spotify, but as for our side, Learn Pop Theory does not attempt to control or track your personal activity on Spotify (the content you stream), or view your Spotify account details (username, settings, etc.).
COOKIES
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set 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. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

COMMENTS
When visitors 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. (Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.)
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.
The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
