WordPress
We use WordPress, which may collect and leverage data to optimize your experience on our site and to help us avoid spam. Refer to the WordPress privacy policy for more details.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. For more information, please refer to the Gravatar service privacy policy here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please refrain from including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract location data from website images.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out of your account removes login cookies.
When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser with no personal data, indicating the post ID of the edited article. It expires after 1 day.
Our theme may also use cookies to remember your preferred options, such as light or dark mode.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves the same way as if visitors had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor interactions with embedded content, including tracking interactions for visitors with accounts on those websites.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For registered users, 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 the username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any provided data. You can also request the erasure of your personal data. This excludes data we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Data Transmission
