Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. This data allows us to manage comments effectively and provide a safe environment for our online community. If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if you have one) may be visible in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included, as visitors to our website could potentially download and extract this information.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience:
- Comments Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so you don’t need to re-enter details for future comments. They last for one year.
- Login Cookies: When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies, which is discarded when you close your browser. Once you log in, several cookies are set to store your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks.
- Editor Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you edited, expiring after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Pages on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from third-party websites. This content behaves as if you visited the third-party website directly, which may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with that embedded content. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies for more information on data usage.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security verification purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in moderation. For registered users, we store personal information provided in user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (though usernames cannot be changed). Website administrators can also see and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to maintain the quality and safety of our online environment.
