Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized string derived from your email address (also known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the files. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from the images available on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not need to re-enter your details when you leave 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 discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login information will persist for two weeks. Upon logging out of your account, the login cookies will be deleted.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same manner as if you had visited the other website directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interactions if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service.
