Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser details to help us prevent spam.

An anonymous string generated from your email address (referred to as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if you have a profile picture associated with your email. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you choose to upload images to our website, please be mindful to exclude any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) from the images. Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images.

Cookies

By leaving a comment on our site, you have the option to opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This feature is designed for your convenience, eliminating the need to re-enter your details when leaving subsequent comments. These cookies remain active for one year.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Cookies are utilized during your website visit to serve targeted advertisements based on your browsing history.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites functions in the same way as if you were visiting that external site.

These external websites may gather data about you, employ cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This interaction could include tracking your activity if you have an account and are logged in to the external website.

Data Sharing

Certain third-party advertising agencies may access personal information through cookies stored in your browser. This access allows them to monitor user interactions with ads placed by these third-party agencies.

Data Retention

Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely if you leave a comment. This approach enables automatic approval of follow-up comments, instead of holding them for manual moderation.

For registered users on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users have the ability to view, edit, or delete their personal information (excluding the username). Website administrators also have access to viewing and editing this information. Please note that external user registration is not supported, and no user profiles are created for visitors.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we have about you. This export includes any data you have provided. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. However, data retention required for administrative, legal, or security purposes may be exempt from deletion.

Data Processing

Visitor comments may be subject to automated spam detection for quality assurance.
