Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information they provide, including their IP address and browser user agent details, to help detect and prevent spam.

A hashed version of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have an account there. You can view the Gravatar service's privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be shown next to your comment for everyone to see.

Media

When uploading images to the website, avoid including photos that have built-in geographic information (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download these images and access any embedded location data.

Cookies

By posting a comment on our website, you can choose to let us save your personal details like your name, email address, and website URL in cookies. This feature aims to provide you with convenience, so you don't have to input your information again whenever you leave a comment. These cookies are stored for up to one year.

When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your web browser is set up to accept cookies. This cookie does not save any of your personal data and will be removed once you close your web browser.

After you log in, we will generate several cookies to store your login information and screen preferences. The cookies related to your login will expire in two days, whereas those for your screen settings will last for a year. If you select "Remember Me," you will stay logged in for two weeks. However, once you log out, the login-related cookies will be removed.

When you update or publish an article, your browser will save an additional cookie. This cookie does not hold any personal data; it simply logs the ID number of the article you just edited. The cookie will expire on its own after 24 hours.

Embedded content from other websites

This website might include various elements such as videos, images, and texts that originate from external sources. Engaging with these components is similar to visiting the original site where the content is hosted.

These digital platforms could collect your personal data, use cookies, integrate third-party tracking technologies, and monitor your interactions with their embedded content. If you have an account on the platform and are logged in, they may also track your engagement with the content.

If you request a password reset, the reset email will contain your IP address.

How long we retain your data

When you leave a comment, that comment along with its related information will be stored indefinitely. This system enables us to recognize and directly approve any future comments from you without needing to put them through a moderation delay.

For those who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their profiles. Registered users can view, update, or delete their personal data at any time, although their username cannot be changed. Site administrators also have access to this personal data and can make edits as needed.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account with us or have posted comments before, you can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, including all the details you have provided to us. You also have the right to ask us to delete your personal information from our records. However, this does not include any information that we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent: Visitor comments may be reviewed using an automated spam detection service.
