Comments
When visitors leave comments on our 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 created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may download and extract location data from images posted online.
Cookies
- If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
- If 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.
- When you log in, we use cookies to save your login information 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 persists for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
- If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates 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). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the external website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content—especially if you are logged into an account on that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties.
How long we retain your data
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided.
You may also request that we erase personal data we hold. This does not include any data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
