Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.

An anonymized string derived from your email address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. The privacy policy for the Gravatar service can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Upon the approval of your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in association with your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please be aware that you should not include images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Website visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

When you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address to send you updates and news. We may also use your email address to personalize the content of the newsletter or to send you targeted information. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by following the unsubscribe link in the newsletter.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

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

Upon logging in, we also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and merely indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 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 in the same manner as if the visitor has visited the source website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

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 retained indefinitely to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (username changes are not permitted). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

What rights you have 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 have provided. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to maintain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be screened by an automated spam detection service.
