In the event that a visitor posts a comment on our site, we gather information provided in the comments form. Additionally, to aid in detecting spam, we collect details such as the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string.

We may supply an anonymized version of your email address (also known as a hash) to Gravatar service for verification purposes if you are using it.

Media Uploads

Should you choose to upload images onto our platform, please refrain from including embedded __cpLocation data (EXIF GPS). This is because other visitors have the ability to download and extract any __cpLocation data present within images on our website.

Cookies

When you comment on our site, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. This means you won't need to re-enter these details if you want to leave another comment later. These cookies remain active for one year.

If you access our login page, we will use a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn't store any personal data and is deleted once you close your browser. Upon logging in, we'll establish several cookies that preserve your login information and screen display preferences. Login-related cookies are valid for two days while screen preference ones last a year. If "Remember Me" is selected during login, this state will continue for two weeks; however, logging out deletes the login-related cookies.

Should you edit or publish an article on our site, an extra cookie gets stored in your browser which records the post ID of that specific article but not any personal information. This cookie expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

This site may feature embedded content such as videos, images, and articles from other websites. This content operates just as it would if you were directly visiting those external sites.

These third-party sites might gather your data, utilize cookies, incorporate extra tracking from third parties, and observe your engagement with the embedded material. If you have an account and are logged in to these sites, they may also track your interaction with this content.

How long we retain your data

When you post a comment, we keep the comment and its associated metadata indefinitely. This allows us to identify and automatically approve any subsequent comments without needing to place them in a moderation queue.

For individuals who sign up on our website (if applicable), we retain the personal details they submit in their user profile. All registered users have the ability to view, modify or remove their personal data at any time, although they cannot alter their username. Website administrators also have access to this information and can make changes if necessary.

What rights you have over your data

Should you possess an account on this platform or have previously submitted comments, you have the right to ask for a file containing your personal data that we store, encompassing any information provided by you. Furthermore, you can demand that we delete your personal data in our possession. However, this does not apply to any information we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security reasons.

Where we send your data
