Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and the user agent of your browser, 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 check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: 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 advise you to avoid uploading images containing EXIF data with GPS coordinates. Visitors to your site can download and extract location data from these images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you will be offered to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to enter this information again if you leave another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.
If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be created to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and will be deleted automatically when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. The lifespan of a login cookie is two days, and that of a screen options cookie is 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 saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data. It simply indicates the ID of the post you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other sites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the other site.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that 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 approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
The rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
