What We Collect and Why
Comments
When you leave a comment on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form. We also collect your IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile there. Their privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public.
Media
If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other users may be able to download and extract this data.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience and last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
If you log in, we set up several cookies to store your login and display settings. Login cookies last two days. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login will stay active for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
Editing or publishing an article will create a cookie that stores the post ID. This cookie expires after one day.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content like videos, images, or links to other articles. This content behaves the same way it would if you visited those websites directly.
Those external sites may collect your data, use cookies, track your interactions, and monitor your activity — especially if you’re logged in to their platform.Who We Share Your Data With
We don’t sell your personal data. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How Long We Keep Your Data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve future comments automatically.
If you register on the site (if that feature is available), your profile information is stored. You can view, edit, or delete your info at any time — except your username. Site administrators can also access and edit this information.
Your Data Rights
If you’ve left comments or have an account on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also ask us to delete it, unless we’re required to keep it for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If you’re a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, contact us and we’ll remove it.
