Comments

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

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible alongside it.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including EXIF GPS location data. Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images if it’s present.

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Here’s how:

• Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience and last for one year.
• Login Page: A temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
• User Login: We set up cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for 2 days, and screen preference cookies last for 1 year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for 2 weeks. When you log out, these cookies are deleted.
• Post Editing: If you edit or publish content, a cookie will be saved in your browser with the post ID. It contains no personal data and expires in 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, images, or social media posts). Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the originating website.

These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content — especially if you’re logged into those platforms.

Who We Share Your Data With

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments without moderation delays.

For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time — except they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also access and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold. This excludes data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to help protect our site from malicious activity.

Your Consent

By using our website, you consent to our privacy policy and the use of cookies and data as described above.

Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update this policy at any time. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage users to check this page periodically for any changes.
