Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to enhance spam detection.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are utilizing it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Upon approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please refrain from including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images available on our site.
Cookies
Should you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, enabling you to avoid re-entering your details for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.
Upon visiting our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, several cookies will also be created to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies persist for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and merely indicates the post ID of the article you have edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may feature embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Such embedded content from other websites operates in the same manner as if the visitor has directly visited that particular website.
These external sites may collect data about you, utilize cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking interactions if you have an account and are logged into that website.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention Period
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely when a comment is left. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also retain the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and modify that information.
Your Rights Regarding Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. Additionally, you can request the erasure of any personal data we have about you. This does not apply to any data we need to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Data Transmission
Visitor comments may be forwarded to an automated spam detection service for verification.
