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 assist in spam detection.

An anonymized hash, created from your email address, may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy can be viewed at https://automattic.com/privacy. Upon approval, your profile picture will be publicly displayed with your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this data from images.

Cookies

  • Comments: When you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
  • Login Page: When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • Login Cookies: When logging in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen options cookies last a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Content on this site may include embedded media (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. This embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly, meaning it may collect data, use cookies, and employ third-party tracking, particularly if you are logged in to that site.

Data Sharing

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

Data Retention
