Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Welcome to Yahya Essential, your go-to destination for premium essentials and lifestyle wear. Our website is operated through: https://yahyaessentials.shop. Protecting your privacy and data is one of our top priorities.

Comments and User Interaction

When users leave comments on our site, we collect the data submitted in the comment form. To help prevent spam, we also log your IP address and browser details.

We may use the Gravatar service to check if you’re using a profile image. A hashed version of your email address (anonymized string) might be shared with Gravatar for verification. You can view their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy.
Once your comment is approved, your profile image (if available) may appear publicly next to your comment.

Image Uploads

If you share images with us, we advise you not to upload photos with location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract such information if it’s embedded in uploaded images.

How We Use Cookies

For your convenience, if you comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in a browser cookie. This helps you avoid retyping your details the next time. These cookies typically last 12 months.

When you access our login page, a temporary cookie may be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. It doesn’t store personal data and disappears when you close your browser.

When you log in:

Login cookies are stored for 48 hours
Display preferences are stored for 12 months
If you choose “Remember Me,” your login session stays active for 14 days
Logging out will clear all login cookies

If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be saved to your browser. This cookie stores the article ID only and expires in 24 hours.

External Media and Embedded Content

Sometimes, our content may include embedded elements like videos, posts, or images from other platforms. These embedded contents behave just like you’ve visited those third-party sites directly.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor how you interact with their content, especially if you’re logged into their platform.

Sharing of Data

If you initiate a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email as a security measure.

Data Retention Period

Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely to streamline any future interactions (like auto-approving follow-up comments).

If you register on our website (if applicable), your profile data is stored securely. Registered users can view, update, or delete their data—excluding usernames. Site admins can also access this data to provide support.

Your Data Rights

If you’ve interacted with our site by creating an account or posting a comment, you can request an export of your personal data stored with us. You may also ask us to delete any of your personal details, except data we are required to keep for legal or security purposes.
