Comments
In order to maintain a safe and spam-free environment, we collect certain data when visitors leave comments on our site. This includes the information provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string.

To enhance your commenting experience, we may provide an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address to the Gravatar service. This allows us to display your profile picture alongside your comment.

Media
When you upload images to our website, we kindly ask you to avoid including any embedded location data (EXIF GPS). This ensures that visitors cannot download or extract any location information from the images on our site.

Cookies
To enhance your convenience, we offer the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies when you leave a comment. These cookies remember your details, so you don’t have to fill them in again for future comments. The duration of these cookies is one year.

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

Upon logging in, we use additional cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies 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.

If you edit or publish an article, a separate cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data and is used solely to indicate the post ID of the article you recently edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites
Our articles may feature embedded content from external websites, such as videos, images, or articles. Please note that this embedded content behaves in the same manner as if you were visiting the external website directly.

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

Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to ensure the security of your account.

How long we retain your data
Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate the automatic approval of follow-up comments 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, with the exception of their username. Website administrators also have access to this information for management purposes.

What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you. This includes any data you have provided to us. Additionally, you can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not apply to any data 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 to maintain the integrity of our website.
