Comments
 
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitors’ IP addresses and the user’s browser agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymous string generated from your email address (also called a hash) can be provided to Gravatar to see if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
 
Media files
 
If you upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Site visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
 
Cookies
 
If you leave a comment on our site, you can enable the storage of your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details the next time you leave a comment. These cookies will be stored for 1 year.
 
If you have an account on the site and you log in, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser supports cookies, the cookie does not contain any personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.
 
When you log in, we will also set a few cookies to save your login information and screen settings. Login cookies last for 2 days and screen settings cookies for 1 year. If you select “Remember me”, your login will be stored for 2 weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be deleted.
 
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply identifies the article you have just edited. It expires in 1 day.
 
Embedded content from other websites
 
Articles on this site may contain embedded content (for example: videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves as if the user had visited another site.
 
These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embedded third-party tracking applications, and track your interactions with this embedded content. In particular, track interactions with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to this site.
 
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 keep your data
 
If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This way, we can automatically identify and approve each subsequent comment instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.
 
For users who register on our site (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal data at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
 
What rights do you have regarding 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 all 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 required to retain for administrative, legal and security purposes.
