Comments

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

Media

When you upload images to our website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on our site.

Cookies

When you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. This way, you won’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and removes itself when you close your browser.

After you log in, we create several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies remain active for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

When you edit or publish an article, we save an additional cookie in your browser. This cookie, which expires after one day, does not contain personal data but indicates the post ID of the article you just edited.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other sites functions exactly as if you had visited those sites directly.

These external websites might collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, particularly if you have an account and are logged in to those sites. The privacy policy of these websites will then apply.

Who We Share Your Data With

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

When you leave a comment, we retain both the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This approach helps us recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except for changing your username). Website administrators also access and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data that we hold, including any data you provided. Additionally, you may request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. We do not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Is Sent

We may review visitor comments through an automated spam detection service, but our privacy policy ensures that all details remain confidential.
