Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser’s User-Agent string, to help detect spam comments.

An anonymized string (also known as a hash) generated from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using that service. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile image will be publicly displayed next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to this website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to this website will be able to download and extract location information from images on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website address using cookies. This is designed to provide convenience by allowing you to avoid re-entering this information when commenting again. These cookies will be retained for one year.

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

When you log in, we will also set several cookies to save your login information and screen display options. Login cookies will last for two days, while screen display option cookies will last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login session will be retained for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be deleted.

If you edit or publish an article, we will save an additional cookie in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and only records the ID of the article you have just edited. This cookie will expire after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had directly visited those websites.

These 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 those websites.

With Whom We Share Your Information

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

How Long We Retain Your Information

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata will be stored indefinitely. We do this to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments without placing them in a moderation queue.

For registered users of this website, we also retain the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for the username, which cannot be changed). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Information

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