What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

Comments

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

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 visible alongside your comment.

Media

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

Cookies

When you leave a comment, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for future convenience. These cookies last for one year, so you don’t need to re-enter your information when leaving another comment.

If you visit our login page, we will place a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

Once you log in, we will set up several cookies to store your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for a year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks. Logging out will remove these login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply includes the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor had visited that website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, particularly if you have an account and are logged in.

How Long We Retain Your Data

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 without needing to hold them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our site, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

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 have provided. You can also ask us to delete any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where We Send Your Data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. You can view our full privacy policy here.
