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 with spam detection.
An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images posted on the site.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies will be set up to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply notes the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also access and edit that information.
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 data you’ve provided. You may also request the deletion of your personal data. This excludes any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
