Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user-agent string to aid spam detection.

An anonymized string (also called a hash) generated from your email address can be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from the images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don't have to fill in your information again when you leave another comment. These cookies will be valid for one year.

If you visit our home page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set a few cookies to save your login information and screen viewing choices. Login cookies last for two days and screen options cookies for one year. If you choose "Remember Me", your login will last for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply displays the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires in 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may contain embedded content (eg, videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, perform additional third-party embedded tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to this website.

With whom do we share your data?

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long do we keep your data?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What rights do you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left a comment, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including data you have provided to us. You can also request that we delete all personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we have to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where do we send your data

Visitor comments can be checked through an automated spam detection service.
