Privacy Policy

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and the user agent of your browser, are collected to help us detect unwanted comments.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the site, we advise you to avoid uploading images that contain EXIF data with GPS coordinates. Visitors to your site can download and extract location data from these images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you will be asked to save your name, email address, and site in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in these details if you leave another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be created to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is deleted automatically when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set several cookies to store your login information and screen preferences. The login cookie will last for two days, and the screen option cookie will last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login cookie will be stored for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be removed.

When editing or publishing a post, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data. It simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles…). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other site.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and track your interactions with the embedded content if you have an account connected to their site.

Use and Transmission of Your Personal Data

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data Retention Period

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve subsequent comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For accounts that register on our site (if applicable), we also store the personal data provided in their profile. All accounts can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments on the site, you can request to receive a file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including the data you have provided to us. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data stored for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
