Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information they provide in the comments form, including their IP address and browser user agent string. This data helps us detect and prevent spam.

If you have a Gravatar account associated with your email address, an anonymized string (hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, if available, will be publicly visible along with your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data found in images on the website.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to save 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 you leave another comment. These cookies will remain valid for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we will set up several cookies to store your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies will remain valid for two days, while screen options cookies will last for a year. If you choose the “Remember Me” option, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data and only indicates the ID of the edited article. It will expire after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Our articles may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. This embedded content behaves in the same way as if you have visited the respective website.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

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

When you leave a comment, the comment itself and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users have the ability to view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for the username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators also have access to view 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 to receive an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided to us. You can also request the deletion of your personal data. However, this does not include any data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service for security reasons.
