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 help detect spam.
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 read the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. This means you won’t have to fill in your details again next time. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also create cookies to save your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will stay active for two weeks. If you log out, login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an extra cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include personal data and only shows the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited those websites directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including tracking your actions 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 will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
For registered users (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
