Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information provided 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 check if you are using it. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter these details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

When visiting the login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, additional cookies are set to save your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies expire after two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login persistence to two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

Editing or publishing an article saves an additional cookie in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Such content behaves as if you visited the source website directly.

These external sites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into that website.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data Retention

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data held by us, including any information you’ve provided. You may also request the erasure of your personal data, excluding data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
