What Personal Data We Collect & Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) may be generated from your email address and shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to the site, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract this data from images.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Here’s how we use them:
-
Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These last for one year.
-
Login: We set a temporary cookie on the login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. This is discarded when you close the browser.
-
Logged-In Users: Login cookies last for 2 days. Selecting “Remember Me” extends this to 2 weeks. Logout removes these cookies.
-
Content Creation: If you edit or publish a post, a cookie is stored with the article’s post ID. This lasts 1 day and contains no personal data.

Monitor your interactions with the embedded content (if you are logged into those services)
