When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to our website, you should avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from uploaded images.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set up cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a 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 an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited the originating website.
These websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking interactions if you have an account and are logged in to the originating website.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our site (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
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, including any data you provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
