Who We Are

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form. Additionally, we gather the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.

We may provide an anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) to the Gravatar service. This allows us to determine if you use the service. You can view the Gravatar service privacy policy here. Once we approve your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media – privacy policy

If you upload images to the website, we recommend avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images available on our website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This approach ensures convenience, allowing you to avoid re-entering your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and gets discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we will set several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies will last for two days, while screen option cookies will last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. However, if you log out of your account, we remove the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will save in your browser. This cookie does not include personal data; instead, it simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited and expires after one 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 the same as if you visited those other websites.

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

privacy policy – Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, we will include your IP address in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, we retain the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This retention allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for changing their username. Website administrators also have access to view and edit that 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. This request includes any data you have provided to us. Furthermore, you can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, excluding any data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where We Send Your Data

Visitor comments may undergo checking through an automated spam detection service.
