Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent to help detect and prevent spam. Additionally, we may create an anonymized string (a hash) from your email address and share it with the Gravatar service to see if you have an existing profile. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you choose to upload images to our website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to our site can potentially download and extract location data from images, so it’s best to remove that information beforehand.

Cookies

When you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter these details on your next visit. These cookies will remain active for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.

Once you log in, we’ll set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Upon logging out, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser to record the post ID of the article you just edited. This cookie expires after 24 hours.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our site may feature embedded content, such as videos, images, and articles. Embedded content from other websites functions exactly as it would if you visited the original site directly. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, incorporate additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into those sites.

Who We Share Your Data With

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments and their associated metadata are stored indefinitely to allow us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments. For users who register on our site, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for changing their username. Website administrators have access to and can edit this information as well.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on our 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. However, this does not apply to any data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where Your Data is Sent

Visitor comments may be reviewed by an automated spam detection service to ensure the safety and security of our community.
