Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect:

• Data shown in the comments form
• The visitor’s IP address
• Browser user agent string (for spam detection)

We may use an anonymized string created from your email (a “hash”) to check if you are using the Gravatar service. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly next to your comment

Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract this data from the images.

CookiesEmbedded content from other websites

We use cookies to enhance user experience:

• If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies (lasts one year).
• A temporary cookie is set on the login page to check if your browser accepts cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
• When you log in, cookies are set to:
  • Save your login info (2 days)
  • Save display preferences (1 year)
  • If you select “Remember Me,” login persists for 2 weeks.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). These behave just as if you visited the source website.

Such websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content—especially if you’re logged in to those websites.

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

We may also share data with third-party services we use (e.g., spam detection, analytics), where applicable.

• For registered users (if any), we store the personal data they provide in their profile.
  • Users can view, edit, or delete their personal info (except username).
  • Site admins can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You have the right to:

• Request an exported file of personal data we hold about you
