Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to a third-party service to check if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture, if any, is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, we recommend avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on our site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies, containing no personal data and discarded when you close your browser. Logging in sets cookies to save your login information and screen display choices, lasting for two days or one year, depending on your choices. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
Editing or publishing an article sets an additional cookie, which includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). This content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited the other website, which may collect data, use cookies, and embed third-party tracking.
