What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

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

An anonymized string (also known as a hash) may be generated from your email address and shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may become publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media Uploads

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

Cookies

  • If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving future comments. These cookies will last for one year.

  • When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded once you close your browser.

  • Upon logging in, we set several cookies to store your login information and display preferences:

    • Login cookies last for two days.

    • Display options cookies last for one year.

    • If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks.

    • Logging out will remove the login cookies.

  • If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply stores the post ID. 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 exactly as if you visited the originating website directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content — especially if you are logged into an account on those platforms.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also access and modify this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you — including any data you’ve provided to us. You may also request that we erase your personal data.

This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
