Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at /privacy-policy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly alongside your comment.

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.

Cookies

Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. They will last for one year.

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

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves as if the visitor has directly visited the source website.

These external websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with their content, including tracking if you are logged into their 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

Personal data is retained as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

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

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 provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, excluding data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data is Sent

Affected users and relevant authorities will be notified as required by law.
