Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload pictures to a website, you shouldn’t upload pictures with EXIF GPS data. Images on our website can be downloaded to find where they were taken.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are provided for your convenience, so you do not have to enter your information again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. The login cookies will be removed if you log out of your account.
If you change an article or publish it, your browser will save an extra cookie. This cookie does not contain personal information, but it shows the post ID of the article you just changed. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly the same as if the visitor had visited the other website.
Who we share your data with
Your IP address will be included in the reset email if you request a password reset.
How long we retain your data
The comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely if you leave a comment. This is so that any follow-up comments won’t have to wait in a moderation queue but will be automatically recognized and approved.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This doesn’t include any information we must keep for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
