2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (a hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible alongside your comment.

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from such images.

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience.

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies last for one year and are for your convenience.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set cookies to remember your login and display preferences:
- Login cookies last 2 days.

You may manage or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves just as if you visited the external website directly.

These external websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content — including tracking your interaction if you are logged into their platform.
