When you engage with our content and leave comments on our site, we gather the information you provide in the comments form. Additionally, we automatically collect your IP address and browser user agent string to aid in our efforts to combat spam.

To enhance your experience, an anonymized string generated from your email address (known as a hash) might be shared with the Gravatar service to identify if you have a Gravatar account. Please review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment gets the green light, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media


Should you choose to upload images to our platform, we advise against including any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) within them. Keep in mind that visitors to our site could potentially access and extract location information from these images.

Cookies


If you leave a comment on our site, you can opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This convenience means you won’t have to re-enter your details the next time you decide to share your thoughts. These cookies will remain active for one year.

Should you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine your browser’s acceptance of cookies. This particular cookie does not contain any personal information and will be discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we use cookies to retain your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, while screen options cookies persist for a year.

Embedded Content from Other Websites


Certain articles on our site might feature embedded content from external sources, such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites functions similarly to if you visited those sites directly.

Please be aware that these external websites may gather data about you, employ cookies, introduce third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with their embedded content. This monitoring can include tracking your engagement if you have an account and are logged in on their platform.

Sharing Your Data


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

Data Retention

This includes any data you’ve furnished to us. Furthermore, you can ask us to erase any of your personal data.
