Comments
When visitors comment on our site, we collect the data entered into the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser details to help prevent spam.
We may also generate an anonymized string from your email address (a hash) and pass it to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can read their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if connected to Gravatar) becomes visible next to your comment.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to the website, avoid including location data (such as EXIF GPS). Site visitors may be able to download and extract this information from uploaded files.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email, and site in cookies for future convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
When you visit the login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. It doesn’t store personal information and is removed when you close your browser.
Logging in sets cookies to store your login credentials and screen preferences. Login cookies expire in two days; screen preference cookies in one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks. Logging out will clear these cookies.
Editing or publishing content will add another cookie that stores the post ID of the article you edited. This cookie expires in 24 hours and contains no personal data.
Embedded Content
Some pages on this site may include embedded media (like videos, images, or posts). Interacting with these behaves the same as visiting the source site, meaning they may collect your data, use cookies, or track your interaction—especially if you’re logged into their platform.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely, helping us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
Registered users (if any) can see, edit, or delete their personal information anytime—except for their username. Admins can also view and update user profiles.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You can also ask us to delete it, except where we’re required to retain it for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Goes
