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 with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images published on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on this site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, cookies are set up to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account removes the login cookies.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited those websites directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

This website may use basic analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the site, such as pages visited and time spent on the site. This information is collected in an anonymized form and is used only to improve the content and user experience.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows follow-up comments to be approved automatically instead of being held for moderation.
For users who register on the site (if any), personal information provided in user profiles is stored. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may 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.
