Data Collection and Privacy Practices
Comment Submission
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information entered in the comment form, including the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string. This information is essential for identifying and preventing spam activity.
Gravatar Integration
If you utilize Gravatar, a hashed version of your email address may be sent to their service. For additional details, please refer to their privacy policy. Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture (if available) will be displayed next to your comment.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to our site, we recommend removing any embedded location data (such as EXIF GPS). Other users may be able to download and extract this location information from the images you upload.
Cookies
Comment Cookies
When you submit a comment, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. This allows you to avoid re-entering this information for future comments. These cookies will remain active for one year.
Temporary Cookies
When you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is created to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not store personal data and is deleted once you close your browser.
Login Cookies
After logging in, additional cookies are created to remember your login details and display preferences. These login cookies will expire after two days, while display preference cookies will last for one year. If you select the “Remember Me” option, your session will remain active for two weeks. Logging out will clear these cookies. When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie containing only the post ID of the edited article will be stored; this cookie expires after one day.
Embedded Content from External Websites
Some of our articles may contain embedded content such as videos or images from third-party sites. Interacting with this embedded content is treated as if you visited those external sites directly. These external platforms may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interactions with their content, especially if you’re logged into an account on those sites.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email sent for that purpose.
Data Retention
Comment Retention
Comments and their associated metadata are stored indefinitely to facilitate the automatic approval of future comments without requiring manual moderation.

Your Rights Regarding Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you, including any information you’ve shared.
