Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string. This data collection aids in spam detection.
Additionally, we may create an anonymized string from your email address (known as a hash) to check if you are using the Gravatar service. Please review the Gravatar service privacy policy for more details. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public within the context of your comment.
Media
If you choose to upload images to our website, please refrain from including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) as it may be extracted by website visitors.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are designed for your convenience, allowing you to avoid re-entering your details when you leave another comment. These cookies have a duration of one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This temporary cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
For logged-in users, we set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies have a duration of two days, while screen options cookies remain valid for one year. If you select "Remember Me" during login, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser, containing no personal data. This cookie indicates the post ID of the edited article and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content from external sources behaves similarly to a visit to the source website, including data collection, cookies, and third-party tracking. This interaction may involve tracking when logged in to the external website. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these external websites for further information.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
