Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.

Additionally, we may generate an anonymized string (a hash) from your email address and provide it to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can find the Gravatar service privacy policy here. Once we approve your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download and extract location details from any images published on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies exist for your convenience, so you won’t need to re-enter your details the next time you comment. They remain active for one year.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may contain embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. This embedded content behaves exactly as it would if you visited the originating website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with their content—especially if you have an account and are logged into that website.

How long we retain your data

When you leave a comment, we store the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments without placing them in a moderation queue.

Our website administrators can also view and edit this information when necessary.

What rights you have over your data

If you’ve left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including anything you’ve provided. You can also ask us to erase your personal data, except for information we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where we send your data

We process visitor comments through an automated spam detection service to help maintain site security and integrity.
