Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
When visiting our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply notes the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to those sites.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
If you register on our site, we also store the personal information you provide in your user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for usernames). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you may request an exported file of your personal data that we hold, including any data you’ve provided. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you, excluding data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
