Comments

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

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check 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 to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from uploaded images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies will be set up to save your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

For registered users, we store personal information in user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their information anytime (except usernames). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data. You can also request that we erase any personal data, except for information we must keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
