Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please refrain from including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the site.

Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will remain 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 will be deleted when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, several cookies will be set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for one year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove 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 indicates the post ID of the article you just edited; it expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may feature embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, etc.). This embedded content behaves as if the visitor has directly visited the other website.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with that embedded content, particularly if you have an account and are logged in.

Who We Share Your Data With
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments rather than holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our site, we store the personal information they provide 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 this 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 have provided. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you, excluding any data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be reviewed using an automated spam detection service.
