Comments

When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form and your IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. Upon approval of your comment, your profile picture becomes publicly visible within the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please refrain from uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) to protect your privacy. Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

We set several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices upon login. Login cookies last two days, while screen option cookies last a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Upon logging out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Editing or publishing an article saves an additional cookie in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and merely indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Data Sharing

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

Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments.

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information anytime (username changes are impossible). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

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’ve provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
