Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments are checked for spam by Antispam Bee, a plugin that runs on this site’s own server. It does not send comment data to an outside spam-checking service.
Google Site Kit, Google Analytics and Google AdSense
This site uses the Google Site Kit plugin to connect to Google Analytics and Google AdSense. When you visit, Google Analytics may set cookies (for example _ga and related cookies) and collect information such as the pages you view, how long you stay, your approximate location, and your device and browser type. We use this information in aggregate to understand how the site is used.
Google AdSense serves ads on this site. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see an ad, measure ad performance and, where permitted, personalize ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
These are third-party cookies set and controlled by Google, not by us. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and read Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings and manage ad personalization in your Google account settings.
Comment data
Commenting on this site requires a registered account. When a comment is submitted, we store the name and email address entered with it, along with the commenter’s IP address and browser user agent string, which are kept to help detect spam.
Avatars are enabled. Unless a user has uploaded a local profile picture, an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it and to display your Gravatar image. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
