Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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
Suggested text: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
For the convenience of our visitors who engage with our website by leaving comments, our system can store your information such as name, email, and website URL through cookies. This means you won’t need to re-enter your details each time you wish to comment. These cookies are designed to remain for one year.
Should you open our sign-in page, our site will place a cookie on your browser temporarily to check if it is set to accept cookies. This particular cookie is void of any personal details and will be removed once you close your browser.
Upon signing into your account, our site creates multiple cookies that capture your sign-in data and the preferences of your display screen. These cookies regarding sign-in details remain for two days, while those related to screen preferences stay active for a year. If you choose the “Remember Me” option during login, your sign-in will be maintained for a fortnight. Conversely, logging out will delete these cookies.
Additionally, if you modify or publish content, your browser will receive another cookie. This cookie, which is devoid of personal information, identifies the article’s ID that you’ve edited and will expire after one day.
Content Integration from External Sources
Our site’s articles may feature integrated materials such as videos, images, and other articles. Such integrated content from different sites is presented as though the user is visiting the source site directly.
These external sites could gather information about you, employ cookie technology, incorporate further third-party tracking, and observe your engagement with the included content. This may extend to monitoring your interactions with the content if you have an account with them and are logged into that site.
Data Sharing Protocols
In the instance of a password reset request, we will include your IP address in the reset notification email.
Data Retention Practices
Should you post a comment on our site, we retain the comment and its associated metadata indefinitely. This enables us to recognize any subsequent comments and approve them directly, bypassing any moderation delays.
For those who register on our site, we collect and store the personal details they offer in their profiles. Registered users can access, correct, or delete their personal details at any given time (although they cannot alter their username). Our site administrators also have the capability to view and modify that information.
Your Data Rights
As a user of this site with an account or who has left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we have gathered about you, including any data you have directly provided. Additionally, you have the right to ask for the deletion of any personal data we possess about you. This does not apply to any data we must maintain for operational, legal, or security reasons.
Data Transmission
Comments left by visitors may be evaluated by an automated anti-spam detection service.
