Comments

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

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service if you use it. You can find the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract any location data from images on the site.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to have your name, email address, and website saved in a cookie. This is for your convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

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

When you log in, we will also set a few cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen display cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will be preserved for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

When you modify or publish a post, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only includes the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other site.

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

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This way, we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our site (if applicable), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an export file of your personal data that we hold, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase all personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

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