Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, including the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. An anonymized string created from the visitor’s email address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if the visitor is using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here: [https://automattic.com/privacy/]. After approval of the comment, the visitor’s profile picture is visible to the public in the context of the comment.
Media
If visitors upload images to our website, they should avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
Cookies
If a visitor leaves a comment, they may opt to save their name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so they do not have to fill in their details again for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.
This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when the visitor closes their browser.
When a visitor logs in, we will set up several cookies to save their login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. If the visitor selects “Remember Me,” their login will persist for two weeks. If the visitor logs out, the login cookies will be removed.
If a visitor edits or publishes an article, an additional cookie will be saved in their browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article edited, expiring after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). This embedded content behaves as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about the visitor, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor interaction with that embedded content, particularly if the visitor has an account and is logged in.
Who we share your data with
If a visitor requests a password reset, their IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If a visitor leaves a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide.
