Web Site and Privacy Statement

Privacy Statement

The website does not collect any unnecessary data. Statistical information on visits is collected by the site and saved for a limited period in order to show visit statistics. This is facilitated by the site’s own administration and does not allow individual visitors to the site to be traced. No third party statistical modules like Google Analytics are used.

Other than for its editors, the website does not offer any possibility to log in, so no personal user names or addresses or gathered. Visitors may voluntarily subscribe to newsletters, which are managed through a third party service (Smoove.io). A more privacy-conscious alternative is to subscribe via the RSS News Feed (see below).

The site does not depend for its functionality upon any third party services such as font servers.

Third party trackers may be present when information is embedded in an iframe. Examples include videos from YouTube and PDFs that open in a viewer. Using the provided social network sharing links will also result in exposure to third party trackers.

The existence of trackers on any website can be found by use of this tool.. Trackers can be blocked by using the Electronic Frontiers Foundation Privacy Badger browser add-on.

RSS News Feed Subscription

You can subscribe to the NSWAS site via RSS news feeds.

RSS lets you quickly see headlines of the latest articles in any section. This means you don’t need to visit the website just to see if there is something new there. If you are trying to follow news at a number of websites, RSS is definitely a time saver.

Subscription may be made by clicking the RSS link in the footer of each page on the website.

On the NSWAS site RSS is set to pick up all new articles in the "Oasis of Peace" section (in the case of the English part of the site) but may not operate as broadly in other language areas of the site.

If your browser does not have its own button for RSS, some browsers may let you click on the RSS icon in the side bar of most NSWAS section pages, in order to obtain an RSS feed.

How does RSS work? That depends on your software. Various browsers, web portals, email clients and dedicated RSS aggregators have RSS functionality. There are many choices, so it is better to settle on a single system that works for you.

For more information on RSS, see the Wikipedia article, or the description of RSS at the BBC website.
