Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and your browser’s user agent, are collected to help us detect unwanted comments.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the site, we recommend avoiding images that contain GPS EXIF data. Visitors to the site may download and extract location data from these images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you will be given the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you will not have to re-enter this information when posting another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be created to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and will be automatically deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set several cookies to store your login information and your screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember me,” your login cookie will be kept for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be deleted.

When you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data. It simply indicates the ID of the post you have just 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 it would if the visitor were browsing the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content if you are logged into their website.

Use and transmission of your personal data

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

Data retention periods

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve subsequent comments instead of holding them in the moderation queue.

For accounts that register on our site (if applicable), we also store the personal data provided in their profile. All accounts can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Site administrators can also view and modify this information.

Your rights over your data

If you have an account or have left comments on the site, you may request a file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including the information you have provided to us. You may also request the deletion of your personal data. This does not include data retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
