Privacy Policy

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown on the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser data, to assist in spam detection.

An anonymized string of characters created from your email (also called a hash) can be sent to Gravatar to verify that you use the service. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible next to your comment.

When you leave a comment on the site, you can choose to save your name, e-mail address, and website in cookies. This is for your comfort, so you don’t have to fill in your data again when you make another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you have an account and access this site, a temporary cookie will be created to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain any personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.

When you log into your account on the site, we also create several cookies to save your account data and your screen display choices. Login cookies are kept for two days and screen option cookies for one year. If you select “Remember me”, your access will be maintained for two weeks. If you log out of your account, login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data and simply indicates the post ID for the article you have just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, articles, etc. Embedded content from other sites behaves exactly the same as if the visitor were visiting the other site.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking from third parties, and monitor your interaction with this embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into the site.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. We do this so that we can automatically recognize and approve any subsequent comments instead of holding them back for moderation.

For users who register on our site (if any), 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 (only their username cannot be changed). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we maintain about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we remove any personal data we maintain about you. This does not include any data that we are required to maintain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Comments from visitors can be flagged by an automatic spam detection service.
