Privacy Policy
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string (also known as a hash) generated from your email address may be provided to see if you are using the Gravatar service. Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to everyone in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, e-mail address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will remain for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will place a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set various cookies to save your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select the “Remember Me” option, your login details will be permanent for two weeks. Login cookies will be removed if you log out of your account.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only shows the post ID of the article you just edited. Expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content on other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including monitoring your interaction with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we keep your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This is so that we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of keeping them in the moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit this information.
What rights do 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 the data you have provided to us. You can also request that we delete all personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data that we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where do we send your data?
Visitor comments can be checked through an automated spam detection service.
