Comments

When visitors engage by leaving comments, we gather the information submitted through the comment form, along with their IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us identify and prevent spam.

An anonymous identifier, created from your email address (referred to as a hash), might be shared with the Gravatar service to check for a Gravatar profile. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here: [Privacy Policy Link]. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the site, we recommend refraining from including images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as these details can potentially be extracted by individuals who download these images.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our website, you can choose to allow the storage of your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies offer convenience by automatically populating your details when leaving future comments. They have a duration of one year.

Upon accessing our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal information and is discarded when you close your browser.

Logging in triggers the setting of multiple cookies to retain your login credentials and screen display preferences. Login cookies are active for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. Choosing “Remember Me” maintains your login status for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

Editing or publishing an article results in the storage of an additional cookie in your browser, indicating the post ID of the article you recently edited. This cookie does not include personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Our articles may contain embedded content such as videos, images, and articles from external websites. Embedded content operates similarly to a direct visit to the external website.

These external websites might gather data, utilize cookies, embed additional third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in on the respective external website.

Who we share your data with

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

How long we retain your data

Comments and associated data remain indefinitely if you leave a comment. This enables automatic recognition and approval of subsequent comments without requiring manual moderation.

For registered users, their provided personal information in user profiles is stored. Users have the ability to view, modify, or delete their personal information at any time, excluding the username, which cannot be altered. Website administrators possess similar capabilities for managing this information.

What rights you have over your data

Users with an account or who have left comments can request an exported file containing their personal data. Users may also request deletion of their personal data, except for data retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments might undergo an automated spam detection process.
